Saturday’s benefit for the Natasha Shneider fund gave us an incredible and very moving night of music from some guys you’d never have expected to see tear up onstage.  The setlist was unbelievable, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Josh Homme and co. play better, and hear PJ Harvey sing with the Queens was quite possibly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.  Spectacular stuff.

The recording is decent – you can check out the sample to see if it’s for you.  The Fonda can be kinda iffy sound-wise, and the mix felt a little under-textured, but every so often a tune like “Run Pig Run” would really come alive in there, so maybe it was just where I was standing.  Hopefully somebody who knows the room better got a nicer capture of the evening, but for those of you itching to check this show out, I figured I’d post this until something sweeter comes along.  My apologies, incidentally, for not knowing the names of the tunes Alain played solo in the encore – if anyone can enlighten me, I’d really appreciate it.

One last thing: I can’t really make you guys do anything, obviously, but if you’re downloading this, I can’t encourage you enough to consider donating to the Natasha Shneider fund.  The show was a benefit for pretty much one of the worthiest causes I’ve heard of in a long time, and it clearly meant a lot to these musicians.  You can read about it and make a donation – and seriously, even just a few bucks is very good karma for you, I promise – at natashashneider.org.  Enjoy!
