Jane's Addiction at T.T. the Bear's Place (12-11-1988)

On December 11th, 1988, Jane’s Addiction played at T.T. the Bear’s Place in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This show was the second performance in a two-night run at the venue for the band, who were on tour in support of their seminal debut record, Nothing’s Shocking, which was released in August of that year. The band also played a few other back-to-back shows in other cities leading up to this gig, including two nights at the Metro in Chicago and consecutive nights at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.

T.T. the Bear’s Place operated from 1984 until July of 2015. For 42 years, T.T.'s was a prominent venue within the Boston music scene, playing host to both national touring acts and local bands, with 250 nights each year featuring live music. On March 31, 2017, the venue reopened as a completely renovated live music venue called Sonia, now part of The Middle East complex.
