Jane's Addiction is the live album by Jane's Addiction, released on May 15, 1987. Its basic tracks were recorded live at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles on January 26, 1987, with additional overdubs and corrections recorded at The Edge Studio in Los Angeles. An audience applause dub from a Los Lobos concert was overlaid onto the final mix. Music The basic tracks were recorded live over a single night in Los Angeles, with additional in-studio recording and overdubs done later. Several songs would be rerecorded for other releases. Of the band-written songs, only "Trip Away," "1%," "I Would For You," and "My Time" have not been rerecorded and rereleased. (A demo of "I Would For You" was released on the 1991 compilation Live and Rare; however, this was recorded in 1986, predating the Jane's Addiction album.)

I knew it was important to speak to the artisans, but I really felt I was addressing the powers that be, too." "Jane Says" and "Pigs in Zen" were rerecorded for Nothing's Shocking, the band's major label debut. "Whores" and "Chip Away" were rerecorded in 2009 by the reunited Jane's Addiction for the NINJA EP, a collaboration with Nine Inch Nails to promote the joint NINJA tour. The album included two covers: "Rock & Roll" by The Velvet Underground, and "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones, the latter retitled "Sympathy". At least one other song, "Slow Divers," was recorded for the album but left off for unknown reasons. "Slow Divers" would eventually be released ten years later on the band's 1997 outtake/alternate/live/new compilation Kettle Whistle. No singles were released from Jane's Addiction.
