Jane’s Addiction

In 2012, Jane’s Addiction was riding a wave of revival following their 2011 album "The Great Escape Artist." Before this live recording at the Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil, the band had made its mark during the late ’80s and early ’90s as pioneers of alternative rock, combining grunge and psychedelic elements. The song "Mountain Song," performed live in Birmingham, AL, reflects their signature sound and lyrical depth. This recording showcases the band’s dynamic energy, emphasizing their ability to connect with the audience. And yet, it also marks a period of resurgence for them, where they melded nostalgia with contemporary vibe, proving they were still relevant after decades in the industry. Fun fact: their frontman, Perry Farrell, has been an influential figure in the music scene, also known for founding the Lollapalooza festival, further blurring the lines between music and culture.
