Jane’s Addiction

On October 31, 1997, Jane's Addiction performed live at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, showcasing a pivotal moment in their career. By this time, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album "Strays," which came out in 2003. This performance allows us to see the evolution of their sound and stage presence, bridging the gaps between their earlier work and their late 90s resurgence. Notably, "Then She Did" is a standout track from their 1990 album "Ritual de lo Habitual," a work that solidified their legacy in the alternative rock scene. The band's ability to attract a dedicated fanbase during this live recording illustrates their influential role in shaping the genre, especially as they were one of the first bands to successfully blend punk rock with a more mainstream rock sensibility, paving the way for future acts in the alternative landscape.
