If you're planning to include the DVD "Live at Slane" on your list to Santa this year, make sure you clarify which one, because U2 aren't the only ones who've been rocking down the walls of the Irish castle.

In August, the Red Hot Chili Peppers played a show there to more than 80,000 fans and a recording of the event will be released on DVD November 18, the same day the band issues a best-of LP with two new tracks.

The earliest songs on the DVD are "Power of Equality," "Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge" from the band's 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but most are from the Peppers' last two records, 1999's Californication and 2002's By the Way. Highlights include "Californication," "Scar Tissue," "Around the World," "Zephyr Song" and "Throw Away Your Television."

The Greatest Hits album takes over where the band's 1992 record What Hits!? left off (although a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" from Mother's Milk appears on both). There's a sampling of tracks from Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication and By the Way, and one song from 1995's One Hot Minute, "My Friends," the only Chili Peppers album to feature guitarist Dave Navarro. Greatest Hits also includes the new songs "Fortune Faded" and "History," which the band recorded during its By the Way tour. Other songs recorded during those sessions might make the band's next studio album. The record also includes "Soul to Squeeze," which previously was only available on the "Coneheads" soundtrack.

Greatest Hits will be available in two formats. The first will be a single CD and the second will be a combination CD and DVD package. The DVD will be comprised of 15 videos including two that are previously unreleased in the U.S., "Road Trippin' " and "Universally Speaking." The DVD also includes interviews with bandmembers and video directors and behind-the-scenes footage of 2000's Californication tour.
