Jane's Addiction Live Performance of Mountain Song and Just Because at Uproar Festival 2013
In 2013, when Jane's Addiction performed at the Uproar Festival, they were riding high on the waves of their recent album, "The Great Escape Artist," which had been released two years earlier, in 2011. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing a more polished sound while still clinging to the gritty, alternative rock roots that first catapulted them into fame in the late '80s. The live recording features "Mountain Song," a staple from their iconic 1988 album "Nothing's Shocking," reflecting the band’s impressive ability to blend nostalgic tracks with newer material like "Just Because" from "The Great Escape Artist." Interestingly, this performance underlined their resilience as a band, having navigated various lineup changes and periods of inactivity over the years. Seeing them live at Jiffy Lube Live, the audience was not just a crowd; they were part of a journey—celebrating both past hits and contemporary soundscapes.
