Jane’s Addiction

In the live recording of 'Up the Beach' from November 30, 1985, Jane's Addiction was riding the wave of their burgeoning fame. Just a year prior, they had released their self-titled debut EP, which showcased their eclectic style and laid the groundwork for their groundbreaking 1987 album, 'Nothing's Shocking.' This performance at The Roxy captures their raw energy and the vibrant music scene of the mid-'80s in Los Angeles. It's interesting to note that at this point in their career, the band's lineup included founding members Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro, whose chemistry was pivotal in defining their sound. The live atmosphere and the anticipation from fans made this performance legendary, back when their alternative rock vibe was still emerging into mainstream consciousness.
