I'd say that Perry Farrell, lead singer of Jane's Addiction, is a creative visionary and marketing genius. Farrell may have foreseen the mainstream recording industry death spiral, and concluded that the only way to make a reliable buck is by selling tickets. So the frontman created a festival to promote Jane's Addiction's farewell tour in the early 90's, and that event has evolved to become what we all know and love as Lollapalooza. Now Jane's Addiction is back and features its classic line-up of Dave Navarro (guitar) and Stephen Perkins (drums), with Chris Chaney (bass). The legendary band's intimate North American tour should give fans a rare opportunity to get their rocks off up close and personal.
Jane's Addiction performs Wednesday, February 29, 8:30 p.m. at the Auditorium Theatre, 885 E. Main St. $42.50-$49.50. 222-5000, rbtl.org.

Correction: the band's classic lineup consists of Farrell, Navarro and Perkins along with original bassist Eric Avery, who played on all of three of the band's releases from its first period of activity (until breaking up in 1991) and played a major role in the songwriting.
