Fans grieved when Les Claypool put his funk-metal band Primus on ice, after he declared that he had reached an aesthetic dead end. It seems the bass-wrangling frontman has worked himself out of his creative despondency. Claypool's band of collaborators, including original Primus guitarist Todd Huth, Critters Buggin' saxophonist Skerik, Rat Dog's Jay Lane and Jeff Chimenti, Pearl Jam/Chili Pepper's skinbeater Jack Irons, and newcomer Eenor, turn out 70 minutes of live alchemy with the sum so much greater than its seemingly disparate parts. The rag-tag band take obscure diamonds in the rough and transform them into extended, edgy soundscapes that tickle the ears and intrigue the mind. They breathe new spectral light into King Crimson's "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" while striking such a heady funk groove in "Girls for Single Men" and "Riddles Are Abound Tonight," that you'd swear Bootsy Collins was on board. Just when you think you're beginning to understand where this eccentric outfit is headed, they switch gears and you find yourself on an island paradise swaying with the palm trees on the surf-o-delic "Hendershot." Live Frogs is jam rock of the first order. --Jaan Uhelszki
Product Description
The full title/artist is 'Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade Presents - 'Live Frogs-Set1'. Primus main man Claypool continues to broaden his horizons with another musical alliance. This comes on the heels of his recent success with Oysterband (which also featured Trey Anastasio of Phish and Stuart Copeland from the Police). This CD was recorded at The Great American Music Hall on October 8th and 9th 2000. The tracks included here represent a typical Frog Brigade show. All of the original songs are garnered from Claypool's two side project releases to date. 1994's Sausage release 'Riddles Are Abound Tonight' and the album 'Highball With The Devil' from 1996. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.
