Jane’s Addiction

On October 31, 1997, Jane's Addiction performed at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, capturing a live rendition of their acclaimed song "Jane Says." This performance came during a period when the band was actively enjoying a resurgence after their initial breakup in the early '90s. Leading up to this live recording, Jane's Addiction had released their fourth studio album, "Strays," in 2003, but during the time of this concert, the band was celebrating the 1997 reunion and the sense of nostalgia surrounding their influential debut album, "Nothing's Shocking," as well as the follow-up, "Ritual de lo Habitual." This reunion culminated in the "Kettle Whistle" compilation, illustrating a blend of their legacy and newer material while revitalizing their presence in the rock scene. The performance at Hammerstein is notable for showcasing their dynamic stage presence and the band's evolution since their earlier years, reflecting their impact on alternative rock culture.
