Live Frogs Set 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Live Frogs Set 1, a live album recorded with Colonel Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade, is a set of covers from various artists, including older Claypool groups. Featuring Les Claypool, former Primus guitarist Todd Huth, Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, Eenor ("The world's first guitar playing redwood tree," said Claypool of Eenor) on guitars, drummer Jay Lane of Sausage, and saxaphonist Skerik, this jam album does not necessarily revolve around legendary bassist Claypool. The seven song set, featuring such classics as Pink Floyd's "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. While Claypool's bass mastery is unmatched, he leaves plenty of room for the other soloists to shine for the crowd, making Live Frogs an excellent album for Claypool and jam band fans alike. Although a few songs tap into the bizarre nature of Claypool, such as the self-explanatory "Girls for Single Men", most of the material on Live Frogs is tasteful and enjoyable by most jam band enthusiasts.
