Incubus Plays Benefit Show for Chilean Miners

Unfortunately, I'm just seeing this concert video for the first time a whole month and a half after its initial release, but, alas, here it is for your viewing pleasure.  After the mining incident in Chile, Incubus while already touring in Chile, played a benefit concert in order to supplement the trapped miners' salaries which they were not being payed while they were stuck underground. 

This video is pretty fucking sweet--Incubus plays a couple of classic tracks plus a Brandon Boyd-original, a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black", and a totally new track called "Surface to Air".  We get to see Incubus behind the scenes of the benefit concert and the creation/re-arrangement of a couple of Incubus tracks with string sections along with a badass, high-energy concert shot from a ton of different angles including in the crowd (where the energy is absolutely electric).  I hope you guys enjoy watching this vid as much as I did.  (Thanks to Enjoy Incubus)
