Les Claypool plus Gogol Bordello plus Tom Waits Songs

Equals sheer freakin' awesomeness. I stumbled on some crappy cell phone videos of Les Claypool and Gogol Bordello playing together at Bonnaroo in 2008 -- an entire set of Tom Waits songs. A little more poking around turned up a much better quality (free, downloadable) audio recording of the entire concert at archive.org!

Kirk Hammett (of Metallica, highschool friend of Claypool's) shows up at the end, bizarrely. Few of the songs feature Claypool bass pyrotechnics; it's mainly just great music, and totally worth checking out.
