Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
It may have taken until 1991 for punk to break as a commercial form, but the genre was hardly new. In that story, even Jane's Addiction were latecomers to the revolution. But it was the frenzied trailblazing rock of this quirky Los Angeles quartet that made the later successes of Nirvana, etc. somehow inevitable. In this recording of a hometown club gig, Jane's offer raw versions of songs that would appear in a more refined form on their debut album, along with a dubious cover of "Sympathy for the Devil." Hear a noticeably younger and shriller Perry Farrell while guitarist Dave Navarro plays out his Jimmy Page dreams across a punk canvas the rest of the world would soon discover. --Steve Appleford

- Completely Underrated
This is one of the best (for lack of a better term) hard rock albums ever released. Completely underrated and overlooked. I've had this album for 20 years and have listened to it more times than any other recording. Also check out Brutal Juice's "Mutilation Makes Identification Difficult"

- Live Addiction
This in my opinion is the best Janes CD yet. The vocals are great and Dave's guitar work is amazing. It is a raw, clean sound of old that makes it magical.

- (2.5 stars) Decent, but JA did much better later
Okay, this review will probably be even more rambling than most of my reviews, since I'm writing it at 1:45 AM on a Saturday coming after a long week that involved having to put up with high-school drama while being sick. Growing up isn't fun. There. See? It's rambling already! I mean, I just started this thing, and I've already spun out of direction. But let's get focused. Let's buckle down, and review this thing. Basically what I see here is a band that knew what it wanted to do, but didn't quite have the songs straightened out. The funky "Trip Away"; blazing, obscenity-laden rocker "Whores"; and tender ballad "I Would for You" (okay, "tender" isn't the proper word, since it's one of those "Hey, Perry, the world is ending! Why don't we make passionate love?" "All right! Now I can show you ... Read More

- Great Disk-- case was cracked though
I love the group and the disk but I collect and when I pay for new products I don't like to get cracked cases. I just did not want to deal with it thats why I went with a 4. the music is great best J.A. CD i know of.

- This Album tells you more than the "Editorial Review"
Jane's Addiction had the gall and attitude to release their very first EP as a live album. That alone should tell you where this disc is coming from. Unlike what the Editorial would make you think, theres nothing punk about Janes, they've always been the red, raw underbelly of a bizarre experiment with Glam Rock and Psychedelia, and there is no better way to hear them than this live, no coverups or touch ups gem.

I personally tend to HATE live discs as they sound like that bunch of garbage the Hendrix estate has been putting out that were no more than cheap bootlegs, but this disc is nothing of the sort. The first few times I heard this, I had no clue it was live, I thought they were adding crowd sounds to give it a feel, and there isn't much of that. The performance is phenominal, ... Read More
