Chad Smiths new DVD was just released. Over 3 hours of glory on 2 discs, including the 30 minute jam with Josh, Flea on trumpet, and Fru at Federation Square. Too bad this thing is $40.

Anyways, just thinking about crucial concerts for anytime in the future..

A ranking if you will:
1. PJ Harvey
2. CocoRosie (because I got screwed over the first time)
3. Banyan (fuckin' same deal)
4. Devendra Banhart
5. Antony and the Johnsons
6. Elton John
7. Eric Avery or Jane's Addiction (whichever is more likely)
8. Gnarls Barkley (hopefully with Klinghoffer)
9. Tori Amos

groups I've seen that deserve another dose:
1. SoundTribeSector9 (because they blew me away the first time)
2. SANTOGOLD (same as above)
3. Project/Object (because they're unparalleled)
4. Zappa Plays Zappa (almost same as above :-x)

Frusciante, Gorillaz, and Led Zeppelin are givens. They best be planning shit.
