Remember, even Cathy Berberian knew that you don't do it without your fez on! Get this crazy baby off my head! 4.10.11. Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade - Live Frogs Sets 1 & 2 - 2001 - Prawn Song. Live Frogs Set 1 is a live album by Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, released by Prawn Song Records on 10 April 2001. It chronicles the first part of the 8 October 2000 show the Frog Brigade played at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the second part released as Live Frogs Set 2. It is primarily composed of originals by the various side projects of Claypool and his fellow band members, sandwiched by two covers. Featuring legendary bassist Les Claypool, original Primus (and later, Sausage) members Todd Huth and Jay Lane, Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, Eenor ("the world's first guitar playing redwood tree") on guitar, and saxophonist Skerik, this jam album does not completely revolve around the bass of Claypool. The seven song set, featuring the Pink Floyd classic "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", keeps the jam session going for at least 5 minutes a song, rotating solos between Claypool, Huth, Chimenti, Eenor and Skerik. This album was the winner of the Best Live Album at the Second Annual Jammy Awards show in 2001. Live Frogs Set 2 is the second set of live recordings by Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, released on July 24, 2001. The album is a complete performance of the Pink Floyd studio album Animals. It is introduced at the end of Live Frogs Set 1 as "more Pink Floyd than any human being should ever withstand", as the band's version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" comes to an end. Taking a welcome break from Primus, this Les Claypool side project finds him reunited with Sausage bandmates and original Primus members Todd Huth (guitars) and Jay Lane (drums), but this time they've brought a few friends along for the ride. Keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, who's also in Ratdog with Lane, has played with jazz legends like Pharoah Sanders and James Moody; saxophonist Skerik has played with New Orleans funksters Galactic and world music experimentalists Tuatara; and guitarist Eenor was chosen by Claypool from submissions he received from musicians around the Bay Area after placing an ad in the paper. Together, they tackle an hour-long, seven-song set that's long on prog rock-style jamming and short on "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver"-like accessibility. As if to reinforce the prog connection, the group's live debut opens with a 14-minute cover of King Crimson's "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and closes with a 12-minute version of Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond." The five songs sandwiched in between are expanded versions of Sausage and Holy Mackerel tunes, but with the additional instrumentation and extended noodling, only "Riddles Are Abound Tonight" sounds much like the original version. Even if your wankery tolerance is low, Claypool fans will enjoy hearing the ol' boy obviously having the time of his life jamming with some mighty fine musicians. It may not make you forget the brilliance of Sailing the Seas of Cheese, but Live Frogs should help you forget the blandness of The Brown Album. © Bret Love © 2011 Rovi Corporation.

If it takes serious chutzpa to play a legendary band's classic album live in its entirety, what type of cojones are required to record said performance and release it on your own label? That's precisely what the Flying Frogs' frontman Les Claypool has done with Live Frogs: Set 2, paying homage to Pink Floyd's dazzling (but underrated) 1977 conceptual epic, Animals. And although purists may bristle at the mere thought, it's actually not half- bad. Sure, it's a bit strange to hear Claypool's nasal twang tackling the pastoral balladry of "Pigs on the Wing," but when his crack ensemble launches into their sizzling version of the 14-minute "Dogs," all is soon forgiven. The sound stays surprisingly faithful to the original songs, making the album sound more like the work of a tribute band (albeit the greatest one since Phish covered Quadrophenia) than musicians best known for innovative bands like Primus, Ratdog, and Tuatara. But open-minded Floyd fans will realize that Claypool's imitation is the sincerest form of hero worship -- er, flattery. © Bret Love © 2011 Rovi Corporation.

Tracks 1-5 Set 2 are covers of songs from Pink Floyd's "Animals" album. N.B: Both these sets were released as two separate albums. Quirky and eccentric at times, with a few "madcap" vocals thrown in, but great musicianship on both discs, and HR by A.O.O.F.C . If you like King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, etc., you should find something here to interest you. It makes a change to hear Pink Floyd's great "Animals" re-interpreted.

Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Twas a magical night in the Warfield Theater. It's truly a great place, old-fashioned balconies and nice, airy atmosphere. I arrived late enough to catch the end of Boomshank and endure the B-Side Players. I purchased a Live Frogs CD, returned and saw a familiar-looking bald drummer toying with a drum-set onstage. Then, after half an hour, Les, clad in his customary antiquated military garb, odd hat, and joke glasses, took the stage with the brigade. It's going to be a good one tonight, he said. Just thought I'd let you know. He nodded at Eenor, and they hopped into Thela Hun Ginjeet, which stirred up a mosh pit, prompting Les to say I'm glad you're having fun, but respect the people around you, especially those of you in the mosh pit. Things died down, but every time he returned to the main bass line it started up again. He was a sight, bounding around with his tasseled epaulettes and the frills on his chest bobbing up and down. How does a thirty-seven year old man hop up and down for so long? Then Sgt. Pepper/A Little Help From My Friends keyboardist Jeff Chimenti filling in for absent saxophonist Skerik which is fast becoming their theme song. Jay Lane, who was sporting a bull/pig's mask sang A Little Help with altered lyrics such as, Are you sad because you're on your own/Fuck no! I get by with a little help from my friends. Ken Brooks played saxophone during Climbing Up the Ladder. Shattering Song: the second best song of the night. The bass was much clearer than the relatively muted sound from the album. During the heavy parts the mosh pit opened up so Les had to say Ya know, I see a couple of boneheads, and we don't want boneheads. Respect the people around you. This is the last time I'm going to say this. Brian Kehoe, (and it's rumored that MIRV himself is somewhere in the building) was introduced and proceeded to shred. 16 Shells From a Thirty Ought Six. Boring. But I knew what other song they would do on the upright, and that was Hendershot, which included a truly marvelous solo by Eenor, after which Les asked a bespectacled man Mr. Carney, I hear you know something about surf saxophone. Can you give us a sample well, more than a sample, how about a slab? The song ended with El Sobrante called him Hendershot. Berkeley called him Hendershot, and so forth. Hair, a Larry Graham song, had the most outrageous bass line. People did what may best be described as grooving; a gentleman called Houseman provided some vocals. I only same some' because Les stopped him in the middle with Hey Houseman, Houseman, Houseman, let me, let me tell you something: I say it's not fair to judge Houseman by the length of his hair.

Though he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or "spokesman" of the group. One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders-Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).

  • Pacific Rim Receives HUD Grant
    San Francisco FOGHORVolume 90, Issue 19 University of San Francisco AprilN 13, 1994 Pacific Rim receives HUD grant James Tedford News Editor A groundbreaking ceremony last Tuesday officially commenced work on converting the decrepit Wabe Theatre on the Lone Mountain Campus into a new multipurpose, fully- electronic conference facility. This task is merely the focal point of more extensive renovations, such as upgrading classroom electrical circuitry and bringing classroom access to conform with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Making these alterations possible was a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, steered though the bureaucratic channels by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi-D of California's 5th Congressional District. Up to $100,000 in additional funds will be provided by the University for in-house computers and equipment for the conference center. The main part ofthe project is the restoration ofthe Wabe Theatre, which has been predominately used for storage since the acquisition of Lone Mountain in 1976. Glenn Loomis, Director of Plant Services, said that the space now occupied by the theatre will be converted into a multipurpose conference center for the San Francisco Center for Pacific Rim Studies, which the entire University community will be able to use. The Oakland-based Brocchini Architects will oversee theconstruction, while Nibbi Brothers Construction Fr. Schlegel, Congresswoman Pelosi, and Lou Girardo on hand at the groundbreaking ceremony of San Francisco has been selected as general contractor. Loomis' timetable slates the completion ofthe project for late Center for its presentations. Not only is it inconvenient and communications link berween the conference center and fall of this year.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fan-Based
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fan-based movement launched to “thank the Grateful Dead for 50 mind-bending years” April 21, 2015 – When you go to an anniversary party, you bring presents, and the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary shows should be no exception. So say the Deadheads who started nfadead50.net to organize massive displays of gratitude for the band during their upcoming Fare Thee Well shows in Santa Clara, Calif., and Chicago, Ill. But what do you get the band who has everything? “We’re calling on Deadheads everywhere to do two things,” said Rob Neff of Baltimore, Md., who founded the group’s Web site and Facebook group. “The first is that we want to raise the largest donation ever collectively given to the Rex Foundation, the band’s charitable foundation.” Fans can always donate to the Rex Foundation independently, but if donors go through the Not Fade Away site (http://www.nfadead50.net), they can earmark their donations as being part of the fan-based movement. Fans are encouraged to follow the instructions carefully. The Rex Foundation is keeping track of how much is raised through this effort, as an explicit “thank you” to the Grateful Dead from the fans. And the second present for the band? “We also are calling on everyone to sing ‘Not Fade Away’ to the band at the start of the second set all five nights of the Fare Thee Well tour,” said Neff. Normally, if the band plays the song “Not Fade Away,” it happens at the end of the second set.

  • 2017 High Sierra Music Festival Program
    WELCOME! Festivarians, music lovers, friends old and new... WELCOME to the 27th version of our annual get-together! This year, we can’t help but look back 50 years to the Summer of Love, the summer of 1967, a year that brought us the Monterey Pop Festival (with such performers as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead) which became an inspiration and template for future music festivals like the one you find yourself at right now. But the hippies of that era would likely refer to what’s going on in the political climate of these United States now as a “bad trip” with the old adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” coming back into play. Here we are in 2017 with so many of the rights and freedoms that were fought long and hard for over the past 50 years being challenged, reinterpreted or revoked seemingly at warp speed. It’s high time to embrace the two basic tenets of the counterculture movement. First is PEACE. PEACE for your fellow human, PEACE within and PEACE for our planet. The second tenet brings a song to mind - and while the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band gets all the attention on its 50th anniversary, it’s the final track on their Magical Mystery Tour album (which came out later the same year) that contains the most apropos song for these times. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. LOVE more, fear less. LOVE is always our answer. Come back to LOVE.

  • This Is a Great Band, and I Had a Great Time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Founding Member (Guitar/Vocalist)
    “This is a great band, and I had a great time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead founding member (guitar/vocalist) “Inspired and accomplished musical discourse at such a deep and serious level: I had no problem at all believing that this was what the Grateful Dead sounded like 40 years ago.” David Gans, Grateful Dead Hour “I've always been impressed by DSO, but the other night I thought they'd taken it to a new level. It was some of the best Grateful Dead music I've heard in the past 20 years, and that covers some ground. Somehow, Jeff Mattson manages to play Jerry's parts perfectly in the spirit, but without any sense of being imitative. And boy, does the band pick up on this energy. Big fun!” Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead publicist & biographer 1980 – 1995; Author “A Long Strange Trip: The History of the Grateful Dead” “As one who is classically trained, I actually always thought that DSO was very cool, treating Grateful Dead music as repertoire- much as I've tried to do in my various bands.” Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead founding member (bass/vocals) “Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest “There are moments where I can close my eyes and go back 30 years and have it be every bit as rewarding and satisfying. Dark Star is an amazingly legitimate representation of the Dead.” Dan Healy, Grateful Dead sound engineer 1966 -1994 “Thank you for a real good time.” Jon Fishman, Phish drummer after sitting in with DSO “The Dark Star Orchestra re-creates Grateful Dead shows with a flashback-inducing meticulousness.” The New Yorker “...recreates the Dead concert experience with uncanny verisimilitude.

FUNK MEETS ROCK ★ FLEA: FUNK CHOPS WITH PUNK ATTITUDE BY KARL CORYAT AND SCOTT MALANDRONE, FROM 1992 AND 1995 INTERVIEWS ★ Flea’s personal musical interests are centered around jazz, but it’s the energy and ethos of punk mixed with the style and techniques of funk that have driven him and his band, the multimillion-selling Red Hot Chili Peppers. Despite three times being voted Best Funk Bassist in the early ’90s—granted, it was at the pinnacle of funk-rock’s ascendance—Flea would describe himself less as a funk bassist and more as a player with an individual style, firmly grounded in punk. “My playing has always been very physical,” he noted in 1992. “A constant whackeda-whacke- da-whack. I don’t do it to impress people; I just play what’s fun. Understand that my roots are in punk, which was all about playing hard, fast, and loud. As the Chili Peppers got more and more funky, it was a natural evolution: the energy of punk translated into the music we felt like writing.” Flea has also plied his funky chops on such hit songs as Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” and Young M.C.’s “Bust a Move.” How did you first start slapping? In high school, I saw some guy slapping on a bass, and I thought, “Wow, that’s cool.” So I started doing it.
