When Perry Farrell, frontman for Jane's Addiction and a founder of Lollapalooza, decided to celebrate his 50th birthday, he invited a group of rock friends to take part in a "Perrypalooza" at Las Vegas' Mirage Hotel Bare Pool lounge Saturday night. Invited to play were the original musicians in Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros (who performed together in the same space for the first time) as well as renowned rock artists Dave Navarro, Slash, Billy Idol, Billy Morrison, Tom Morello and members of Velvet Revolver and Cypress Hill, and friend Juliette Lewis. Tickets to the new type of concert were $100 each.
