Dropped acid on the way there. During the opening act (some nondescript skate punk act), I was beginning to think that was a mistake. Cramped seats, too many people, slightly negative vibe. Then Jane's came on and fucking blew my mind. Perry actually got in trouble with the FBI that night. It was early into the Bush I regime, and Perry said to the crowd, "Who's going to be the first one to shoot President Bush? I guess I'll have to do it." Followed, of course, by an incindiary "Pigs in Zen."

I don't know, I saw them both times they came through here, and they kicked ass both time (though they did let Navarro do a couple of songs off his solo records, which I am not that fond of).
They can still put on an amazing show. Even if they never put out another new song, their discography speaks for itself, and you hear Janes in just about everything that came after them.
