Irving Plaza 1996.
If you were there, and I know some of you were, then you know just what a magical one hour (or less) this was.
Fucking mad ass singalong get kicked in the head stomp of greatness. sounds light and acoustic 20 years later but whoa, at the time, it was anything but. there have been a few Bauhaus references here in the past few days, on other topics. as we know JA 1.0 acoustic could be heavier than most any electric death metal of its time, so intense and hard charging it was. this show had that.
anyway, here's the show.

and here's a little comment I posted there about how perry-world was still the place to be during p4p. I included a xiola.org shoutout. maybe it'll get one or two new members that we can disabuse of any notion that they know ANYTHING about jane's addiction.

listening to this show really loud right now. nyc punk rock motherfuckers. remembering my fave p4p shows - a few at roseland. the first one, opening with orgasm and busting into (I think) p4p. my friend got his glasses kicked off his head during that song. it was the last I saw of him. I was lifted off my feet from midway back to the rail. chaos. the other one was with dave and flea and it wasn't the band at its best but the hard charger bit and, more than anything, IWFY encore, was amazing that night. plus I was with a college buddy whose father's funeral we had attended the day before - so tears were shed during GGU. Woodstock 94. a beautiful mess. portchester 97 with watt in a costume and a very trippy stage bit going on all night.

Re: P4P on Dime

Re: P4P on Dime
can anyone share this on zomb or mega? my Dime account has been dead for years, thanks.
Re: P4P on Dime
I remember actually thinking my ribs were going to break at an Irving Plaza show. They opened with Porpoise Head and the whole crowd surged side to side with the song. Having missed 1.0 these P4P shows are some of the best and wildest shows I've been to.
Re: P4P on Dime
If I remember correctly Sean Lennon was there and sang on 100 ways with Perry. They all went to the now closed Belmont Lounge right next door after the show. I remember standing at the bar with my friend and in walks Perkins and Perry. I shook Perry's hand and said, 'You should have played Bali Eyes!" to Perk! They sat at table with David Byrne and Sean Lennon. Sean told me that 100 ways was his favorite song. I met Watt and Pete too. I then asked Perry about the Woodstock show! Good Fun!

Same at the show I went to. I was suspended in air with my knees against the barricade the entire show.blackula wrote:I remember actually thinking my ribs were going to break at an Irving Plaza show.

I met Watt at the show I went to. He walked out the front door an hour before the show started. I was 16 or 17. He let me follow him around for awhile downtown St. Louis. lol. He was nice enough to a dumb kid I suppose. I was star struck. He just kept saying "Look kid I'm just an old punk rocker."bman wrote:I was at both of those shows!

Re: P4P on Dime
That's awesome! I met Stephen at Enit and got in a drum circle with him for a minute. Wish I met Watt.bman wrote:If I remember correctly Sean Lennon was there and sang on 100 ways with Perry.

Yes, I remember Sean Lennon singing backup. It seems like P4P played so many NY shows within those 2 or 3 years. I'm pretty sure Rasputina opened at the Irving Plaza show I'm thinking of.

Re: P4P on Dime
UGGGGH. Even though I'm a 1.0 diehard, this is what I miss most about Perry: the grittiness and edge, the will-fight-you aspect. He's older, yeah, but there's no it there.
(I think the cat on the tables is Skatemaster Tate [I remember Perry condescendingly saying at a Denver show, "you don't know him yet... but you will... eventually"] who I unfortunately just found out passed away last month at the age of 56 from cancer).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skatemaster_Tate
Tate was born Gerry Hurtado in Los Angeles, California to his father Jorge, a local machine shop foreman, and his mother Hilda, a clerk at the nearby Knott's Berry Farm. Tate was a top amateur skater in the early 1970s, but in a 1987 People Magazine interview, he downplayed his ability by saying he "only skated for fun". Tate later attended a broadcasting trade school, and applied his trade by working as a DJ in punk rock clubs. From his time in the clubs, Tate took up more interest in the newly growing skate rock movement, and recorded his first song, Skaterock Rap, in his friend's basement in 1983. Upon its release, it became popular with skaters and Tate became to emcee parties and skate contests in both Los Angeles and New York.[1]
In the mid-80s, Tate was touring as an opening act for the all-girl thrash band Screaming Sirens, and his music was showing up in skate videos. He released his first album, "A Way Of Life", in 1988, and the song "La Cumbre" appeared on the Powell Peralta video Public Domain during a scene where the team tours Mexico. Tate originally wrote the song as a tribute to a local skater hangout. Tate later became the Host of SK8-TV, a half hour television show on Nickelodeon, with co-host Matthew Lynn. The show only lasted one season and was pulled after 13 episodes.
Since his departure from SK8-TV, Tate has also recorded with such acts as Porno For Pyros and was a producer for the acid jazz group The Stone Boners. His song "Jolt" was later featured in the 1991 comedy What About Bob?[2]
On October 13, 2015, Hurtado died of cancer at the age of 56.[3]

Re: P4P on Dime
that's super cool. we talk a lot about JA 1.0. there's also perry 1.0 and he was at that soundcheck. which explains why, circling back to the earlier part of this thread, two forum legends, hoka and blackula, plus old tubro man river each got lifted off our feet in the madness of the p4p floor. those were some badass high energy punk rock shows with perry still at the top of his game as a front man and as the party president. that dude's been gone a long time now. he was still in charge at relapse. I think maybe the last time I saw perry 1.0 was at jubilee 2001 - opening with that kettle whistle into ocean size remains memorable for me. but I saw it in nyc shortly after 9-11 and as I recall perry ranted a bit about new yorkers being tough, which I think at that moment we all felt we really were - some combination of unbreakable and vulnerable, which is in itself pretty punk rock, and it was packed, so maybe that had something to do with it. the other local show that year, at Brendan byrne, 2/3 empty, wasn't nearly as magical. who knows? either way, p4p sure as shit had it as a live act.

Re: P4P on Dime
They added more from this 1992 show.
Cursed Male
Orgasm
P4P oh the memories! Perry was so bad ass back then. Amazing seeing P4P Live.
Loved reading everyone's personal memories!
Was anyone else at the show at the Trocadero Transfer, San Francisco, CA in 1996? One of my favorite gig memories. I had the best time that night.
Perry had a friend that was filming the show and someone from the crowd snagged the camera out of his hand- Perry begged them to return it from the stage.
There was no way to tell who had it in that sea of rowdy people!
I have been waiting for footage from that stolen camera to emerge for YEARS and YEARS!
They played two shows back to back. One at the Fillmore & then the next night things got crazy at the Trocadero Transfer.
I remember it being so packed and girl(s) on stilts walking through the crowd twirling fire batons. I actually made sure I scanned the room & knew where the exits were just in case she fell or was accidentally knocked over by a unruly person in the crowd and fire started! I was plastered between the barrier and sweaty people in the front at stage left- I stood my ground the entire set- though it was not easy!
Such a different vibe than the night before! The Fillmore had the stage adorned with flowers- the TT had wonderfully trippy side show & fire dancers.
It took about an hour to get out of the building once the show was over-I was thinking I would have died if a fire did start and the fire marshal would have shit his pants if he had seen the crowd and what was going on in there.
As I finally made it out I saw a street full of people lined up to get in to see the Bondage -A-Go-Go show that was after the P4P gig.
What a great two nights!
I still have the flower I caught at the Fillmore show.
I watched it fall apart over the next few days- so I could methodically glue that fuzzy- purple - trumpet flower back together-
