Erik was saying bootleg info would be a good thing to add into the "Show Information" section of the entries gigography. I'm writing some for my records, so I'll post them here and offer them to be used on the site.
I am also including a 3rd part I propose for the "Show Information" section: Notable Moments. This would be a little sub-section for including memorable Perry quotes, or anything out of the ordinary to mention (such as a song that was performed differently than usual, or even making note of a rarely played track). This could be very handy, especially with the new searchability, for locating shows.
I'll post a bunch in this topic and encourage anybody else to join in.

Re: "Show Information" expansion
Jane's Addiction - October 01, 1986 - Club Lingerie, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA
http://janesaddiction.org/tour/tour_det ... tourID=412
Recording Information:
Total length: 29:30. Soundboard. Sourced from unknown gen cassette. Rating: B+. Decent sound, but some tape hiss and other minor issues including a few brief cuts throughout. The first track, "Up The Beach", is missing the first few seconds. The last track, "Mountain Song", cuts at about 3 minutes.
Notable Moments:
"Thank you very much. We're the Grateful Dead."
(near the end of "Ocean Size")
"You're all dead! Take this! Oh! Come on! Come on! Yeah! Come on! You're gonna die! Come on! Rock out, you lazy motherfuckers!"
(before Summertime Rolls)
"Huh? Five? This guy says we got 5 minutes. If we only have 5 minutes, you guys riot, okay? 'Cause I ain't getting off. I'm just getting started."
(poetry improv during the beginning of Summertime Rolls)
"Man, what a fucked week it has been. I had to deal with the Lord. And the landlord. I had a talk to a priest, fight with a beast. Find out which is least. In my head, my head, my head."

Re: "Show Information" expansion
Jane's Addiction - November 13, 1986 - The Pyramid, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA
http://janesaddiction.org/tour/tour_det ... tourID=415
Recording Information:
There are two versions of this recording, both sourced from the soundboard. The version commonly found on mass-produced bootleg CDs (such as Live & Profane and Live Too) is A+ quality, but omits "Slow Divers", "Jane Says", and "Summertime Rolls". There is a more complete version (43:39), said to be taken from Dave's personal tape, but is lesser quality (tape hiss and occasionally choppy). This version, while more complete than the cleaner version, is still missing the first minute or so of "Slow Divers" and a few minutes off the ending of "Summertime Rolls" (cutting at about 2:25).
The track "Whores" from this recording was included on the Kettle Whistle rarities album.
This show is sometimes mislabeled 10/23/1986, 2/14/1987, or 10/15/1987 Dallas, TX.
On the silver bootleg CD versions, 4 additional songs are included after "Mountain Song" (No One's Leaving, Then She Did, Ted, Just Admit It, and Ocean Size). These songs are not from the Pyramid '86 show, but rather a different unknown show, likely from the Fall '87 tour opening for Love & Rockets.
Notable Moments:
Like some other shows from '86 and '87, the band opens with a short acoustic set ("Slow Divers", "My Time", "Jane Says") featuring Eric on rhythm guitar.
Dave plays keyboard on "Slow Divers". This version of the song has been bootlegged on a 7" as well as a silver bootleg CD, both titled Whole Lotta Love. There are 2 known live recordings of "Slow Divers"; one where Perry sings "you got a joint to sell me?" and the other where Perry sings "you got some dope to sell me?" The "joint" version is from 1/26/87 Roxy (and was officially released with overdubs on Kettle Whistle). The "some dope" version is from 11/13/86 Pyramid Club.
This is the earliest known live-on-stage recording of "Jane Says". Perry introduces it by saying, "Here's one we haven't done in a long time."
(before "Whores")
"All right, let's get down into it."
"This is my new friend Roxy. Ain't that honey swell? Get into it, Roxy. Come on, baby."
(poetry improv in "Pigs")
"Bring the lights down, man. Little Perry's gonna teach you how to behave yourselves. I want you all to go up to a fountain, and sit there for three days, and bathe yourselves. For three days. Don't bring your radio. Now come on back with me. I want you to grow a garden. I want you to raise some animals. And I want you to be a slave for one year. I want you to be a better person."
"Thank you... for listening."
"Thank you all. Thank the Pyramid. It's a good club. You guys should check it out sometime when you're in Hollywood. Except for the owner. The owner's a bald-headed dick. But we love the Pyramid people. But if you see a bald-headed fucker walking around here with a bad attitude, you'll know who I'm talking about."
(at the start of "Mountain Song")
"(makes kissing noises) Open up, it's me! Oh, baby."
(before "Summertime Rolls")
"I hope you've all done a lot of drugs, as we all have. Because then you'll think we're good and come to our next show. And we could stay alive. We don't have a place to play next, so if anybody's got a cool backyard, we're up for parties."
(at the start of "Summertime Rolls")
"This is about the season that fell. Sometimes you gotta fall."
(poetry improv in "Summertime Rolls")
"Well, I don't lie. And some say that that's a lie. I don't deny."

Re: "Show Information" expansion
what do you think about underlining the little sub section note areas (i.e. 'Notable Moments' and 'Recording Information') ? I think that'd help highlight that info

Re: "Show Information" expansion
Wow those look great intertwoven.
When I was updating some of this stuff I was careful not to steal from your place and I love that you're involved here now and adding this stuff into the database.
It's amazing what a few Jane's heads can do when they work together for the benefit of the community.
Again great stuff!
Thanks for getting involved and sharing your wealth of information.
