Janes Addiction In Charlotte

Jane's Addiction proved one thing to me Saturday night in Charlotte. Eric Avery is a much more important part of this band then most people care to admit. Lets face it, They suck with out him. The show was awesome and bass player Avery has been missed. I feared that this band would just be a shadow of it's former self, but happily I was wrong. I knew when the lights went out and the opening notes of Three Day's thumped out of Eric's bass that this would be a show for the books. Pulling out songs from Nothings Shocking, The XXX EP, as well as Ritual de lo habitual, every one from the hard core fan to the person who was late to the party on J-A would have left satisfied. Surprisingly Dave Navarro did not act like a douche. He must realise that there is only room for one personality in Janes Addiction, and that job of course goes to Perry Farrell, who is one of the greatest front men of all time. Over all This was a great concert and was the fulfillment of a something I wanted to see every since Monty let me listen to Nothings Shocking in high school. I would highly recommend J-A fans try to catch this show if they bring it back to the US after there European leg.
