(Alternative Rock) Jane's Addiction - Live in NYC (2013), MP3, 320 kbps

Jane's Addiction is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band's original line-up featured Perry Farrell (vocals), Dave Navarro (guitar), Eric Avery (bass) and Stephen Perkins (drums). After breaking up in 1991, Jane's Addiction briefly reunited in 1997 and again in 2001, both times with Avery declining to participate. In 2008, the band's "classic" line-up, featuring Avery, reunited and embarked on a world tour. Avery subsequently left the band in early 2010 as the group began work on new material.[1]
Jane's Addiction was one of the first bands to emerge from the early 1990s alternative rock movement to gain mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States. Their initial farewell tour launched the first Lollapalooza festival, an alternative rock showcase. As a result, Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative Nation."[2] The band was ranked 35th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list.[3]

Jane's Addiction's 2011 album The Great Escape Artist was the band's first in eight years, and the alt-rockers celebrated with a free show at New York's Terminal 5 on July 25th, 2011. Live in NYC captures the 2011 show with live-wire performances of hits like "Been Caught Stealing," "Stop!" and "Jane Says," as well as old cuts like "Up the Beach" and "Ain't No Right." Of course, Jane's Addiction were there to promote their new album, and their spiraling debut performance of The Great Escape Artist's "Irresistible Force (Met the Immovable Object)" swoops down halfway through the set.
