Didn't listen to Jane Says too much but when I heard the atmospheric guitar Troy added, I keep going back to listen to the 2022 shows with him playing it.Juan% wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 5:26 pmlucio wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 5:16 pmI liked hearing JA with 2 guitars Troy and Josh, with Troy playing the atmospheric parts.

The best being, a surprisingly good show with Cheney playing, or at worst, NINJA. I’ll be honest, I haven’t ever really considered any of the post 1991 shows, as JA shows at all. At best, they’ve been good, sporadically. Sacramento 1997, was great. 2001 Mountain View was good, 2003 Lolla was cool, and surprisingly enough, the TGEA show, in Clearwater, was great. The rest I’ve seen, have been ok enough, sometimes, to really bad other times. Basically, I’ve been saying “This is the last time…” since like 2001. I totally wasn’t going to go to see the SP tour, just thought it would be more of the same, and I can’t stomach SP, to begin with. What made me go more than Eric being back, was that DN was not there. It was just a new element, a curiosity. And EA seemed really into the idea, actually…. And they are my favorite band, so it’s a hard habit to break….
Damn… that show was, without any question, the best show I have seen them do since 1991. That’s a fact. And I love TVL to begin with, so while different and chunky, and a little sloppy, it felt like JA, for the first time, since they were an actual band. Klinghoffer played on like 3-4 songs then, the 5 piece was wild!!!!
That coupled with the PFP show I saw in LA, I am genuinely excited again about them… Eric is happy, it rocked, they were all good! So I have the Palladium show coming up, I guess just with Klinghoffer. I’m stoked. I think I would be less so, if DN were just playing, oddly enough. He hasn’t been into it since what 2001? And you can tell, note perfect or not. I’m in, so yeah, It’s a great and interesting time to be a JA fan again, I think.
This. It sounded great!
Troy's part turns the mood and made it a lot more interesting listen.
The show I liked most was with Troy and Daniel Ash.
Daniel Ash is playing Jane Says next to Perry and at 1:53 Troy's cool atmospheric part comes in, Daniel, surprised, liked what he heard and looks over at Troy and Danny was into it. That was the most entertaining JA show I've seen since Relapse. Troys guitar sounds great, comes in and leaves at the right times during the song. Fits JA well.

I hope they bring Troy back and use some of their stage energy to write new material while they're on the road and in rehearsals. I think the energy is lost when they get home and try to write.
