The original lineup of Jane’s Addiction (with Eric Avery!) reunites for the first time in nearly two decades for a four song performance at the NME Awards USA. The band reunited to accept the inaugural NME Godlike Genius Award for the U.S., presented at past UK Award ceremonies to U2, Paul McCartney, New Order, and others.

The band’s four song set included Jane Says, Mountain Song, Ocean Size, and Stop.

It’s one of my great musical regrets that I haven’t seen Jane’s Addiction. I’ve had several chances, and for one reason or another, haven’t been able to get there. Hopefully this will maybe open up the chance that MAYBE, I’ll get to see Jane’s Addiction after all!
