JOHN FRUSCIANTE TRACKLISTS

JOHN FRUSCIANTE Niandra LaDes and Usually Just A T-Shirt (uncut / cassette version) {75:51 cdr}
Notes: John Frusciante's first solo album is an amazing record. Unfortunately, the version most people are familiar with is incomplete. When American Recordings released it on CD, they removed 2 excellent tracks. The cassette release included the full recording, but was quite rare and not many people could find it. Luckily for me, my good friend Doug was one of the lucky few to buy the tape back in 1994. Just recently, I talked him into trading me the original tape, which I transferred to cdr.
The recording has not been compressed or equalized, keeping it true to the original sound. Yes, there is some tape hiss, but most of that is from John's original recordings (and is also present the regular CD version). The two tracks that can't be found on the cd are "Ants" and "Usually Just a T-shirt". These tracks have been known to pop up online and in various collections sold on eBay, however the vast majority of these have been sourced from compressed mp3 versions, so sound quality is sacrificed. Additionally, they are "out of context" in such instances. In this version, you get to hear the complete uncut album, in proper sequence, as John intended it to be heard. (Well, to get technical, it's actually two albums: Niandra LaDes and Usually Just A T-Shirt were separate albums John recorded, and they just happened to be released together as one.)

John Frusciante - VPRO DutchTV Special 1994 20m video
John talks about death, drugs, life, River Phoenix, Kurt Cobain and Rock N' Roll from his house in Hollywood. John looks awful.
I have 2 different versions (edits) of this video. One is poor quality and includes "Stuff" at the end (see below) and one acoustic song. The other version doesn't have "Stuff", but it has 2 acoustic songs, and is better quality.

John Frusciante - "Stuff" video 10m
This is a film produced by Johnny Depp, Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), and contains a cameo by Timothy Leary. It's basically an abstract tour of Johns house (that later burned down) with Johns music and poetry playing. John introduces the film.

John Frusciante - 1/20/97 Viper Room 40m cdr
This was the first time John was at the Viper Room after River Phoenix died, so he seems a bit emotional about it. He gets in an arguement with someone in the crowd who says he's got the "magic touch" like Jimmy Page and asks why he's doing this "shit". John and the rest of the crowd tells this guy to "shut the fuck up". "Landslide" is a Stevie Nicks song.

John Frusciante - 2/6/97 Smalls In Hollywood 25m cdr
This show was with Bob Forrest of Thelonius Monster and features various Thelonius Monster songs and covers. Landslide is a Stevie Nicks cover (John sings backup vocals on it). Angelo Moore from Fishbone sings the Beatles cover of Helter Skelter.
Setlist: Try / Anymore / Micheal Jordan / Landslide / My Lover / Under The Bridge / ...And The Rest Of The Band / See That My Graves Kept Clean / Helter Skelter

John Frusciante - Kentucky 4/?/97 15m video
This is a superb quality video from the Nuttstalk tour. The performance is shot by a camera sitting on stage 10 ft. away from John. Contains an acoustic set and an electric one with Norwood on bass and a drummer.
Setlist: Unknown / Life's A Bath / Untitled track from Niandra ("blind yer head in catastrophies") / Unknown / Moist Vagina

John Frusciante - Unknown Nuttstalk Tour 97 15m video
Excellent performance and video shot by an audience member right in front of the stage and by a camera on stage. Only contains the electric set with Norwood Fisher. In the first jam, John does some great solo work and plays with the end of his patchcord on the bridge of his guitar with a wah pedal like Tom Morello does. Contains some great closeups.
Setlist: rage styley jam / My Smile Is A Rifle / Moist Vagina (snippet) / jam

John Frusciante - Texas 5/24/97 15m cdr From Nuttstalk tour.
Setlist: Pen Cap Chew (cover of an unreleased Nirvana song) / unknown / unknown / Your Smile Is A Rifle

John Frusciante - Anchor Inn, Omaha 4/26/97 10m cdr
Nuttstalk tour. Norwood Fisher from Fishbone plays bass and a drummer also plays with John. Setlist: Unknown / My Smile Is A Rifle / Moist Vagina

John Frusciante - Bottlekneck, Lawrence KS 4/28/97 20m cdr
This is an excellent John show from the Nuttstalk tour. "My Smile Is A Rifle" is really great, it's a more "coherent" version for a lack of a better word. The solo is brilliant, it's remeniscent of his RHCP era playing. Norwood Fisher and a drummer play for most of the show.
Setlist: Smile From The Streets You Hold / I Can't See Until I See Your Eyes / Unknown / Moist Vagina / My Smile Is A Rifle / Jam (sounds like it's based on the Foxy Lady riff)
