Perry Farrell Showcases His Influence Over Coachella

Perry Farrell opened the Sahara Tent on Day Three of Coachella accompanied by a DJ, guitarist and female singer, all dressed in silver and white. The forefather of Lollapalooza -- and hence the traveling American music festival -- opened with unfamiliar material before launching into Jane's Addiction's 'Just Because,' which led directly into a dancehall remix of 'Been Caught Stealing,' as a giant white inflatable was paraded through the tent.

Farrell pulled out others from Jane's songbook as well, including 'Stop' and 'Jane Says.' Crowd pleasers for sure, but looking around the grounds at Coachella's extras -- like art installations and vending villages -- Farrell's biggest influence might not be purely musical.
