Stereogum reports on the scene

"Jane's Addiction received the Genius Award (joining godlike alumni Clash, New Order, and Primal Scream). Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, and Eric Avery (the holdout since '91) played "Jane Says," "Mountain Song," "Ocean Size," and "Stop." Reuters reports that Farrell thanked the crowd by "alternately guzzling from a bottle of red wine and dispensing its contents to fans in the mosh pit."

"Here's some shaky cam of "Ocean Size," from a dude rocking out in the front row."
