Les Claypool & Friends

4th annual Purple Pachyderm Pre-Bird Bonanza
HopMunk Tavern - Sebastopol, CA

Source Info: Tascam DR07mkII Portable Stereo Digital Recorder (auto level on) @ 16bit48khz > Equalized in Audacity

Recorded from front row center, recorder in my front pocket with the microphones hanging out of my pocket.

Les Claypool's shows at his wine parties are quite different from his typical solo/Primus shows in that there is a lot of banter between songs. Some of the banter went on quite long, which is why I broke up the banter in to its own track
Unfortunately, my recorder stopped recording with a few songs left due to lack of storage space. This was my first time recording a show, so it's not a perfect recording, but it's definitely listenable. If you're a fan of Les Claypool, it's worth checking out because these songs are played quite different than normal.

I don't know the names of all the people playing in his band at this show, but they were the members of a band called Big Kahuna, which is fronted by multi-instrumentalist Wiley Woods from the bluegrass band Stiff Dead Cat. There was also a drummer and a female vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.
