Les Claypool

[chuckc]

Probably wont be much interest in this but anyways...

I saw Les Claypool this weekend and i was just amazed at the talent of his band. It was one crazy mindblowing tripped out show . Les and his bandmates sure knows how to get into your head and rip you apart.

Some wierd stuff but mostly mindblowing jams and sounds. Definatly soemthing that makes you realize that live music still is where its at.

His present band touring for his new album consists of

les playing bass, a femal sitar player (indian instrument that ravi shankar plays), a zylophone, tribal drums, regular drums, a saxophone player....and many effects for all of those instruments

definatly a bit wierd but parts of it were just incredible sounds and jams that would please any music fan. def reccomend this to anybody who has a broad mind and taste in music.

How funny, was there both nights as well
with the Christmas light stage and the infamous
birkenstock throwing incident, won't see too many
line ups like that anymore.

i believe we went to the first night.

dave navarro started the opening melody of "ocean size" then WHAM! perry got hit in the head with a boot and left the stage.

btw, that was the second boot that hit him that night. after that he was like, fuck this shit, and they booted.

i'm just glad to have heard "three days" live. it's still my favorite track by them; a classic ten minute epic that has so many layers.

Re: Les Claypool

Must agree
That three days was pretty surreal
Not sure if the floor was a pit or more like a sea of bodies
in constant motion it was crazy.
Slept in my car to make both shows
Nothing like Zen, Trip Away, and of course Perry
with his routine of getting wasted on stage.
Oh where have the good times gone.
Have a couple of Janes shows
if you are interested, but still can't figure out
how to upload a folder on Mega, can only seem
to upload a song at a time. Oh well.
