god this song is awesome

5th time watching all of this video i love this stuff

Les has entered the pantheon that boasts Tom Waits, King Crimson, Capt Beefheart...

That sax solo sounds like an Adrian Belew Guitar solo. Ha!!!!, I can't remember all their names, but this record and Fungi or Foe have great musicians and songs on them. Thx for a life of ass kickin music Les!

The sounds they make are weird, this song is weird, these people look weird, this is great music.

If i heard this on the radio i probably would not give it the time of day....j/k Les Rocks!

@cellerfullofpopcicle @cellerfullofpopcicle That's a "whamola", which is sort of an electronic version of a washtub bass. It's a single bass string attached to a giant whammy bar, with a fretless fingerboard, an electric bass pickup, and it's played with a drumstick.

Les is more than worthy of legend status when he passes away. He's up there with Jimi and James Brown.

I heard Primus twice in two days-Vienna(Austria)+Sopron(Hungary). I consider meself a very lucky dude. After the gig in the Vienna our friend went downtown to eat the vienners wurst (sausage!), and he met Les, Ler, Jay and other members of the crew. Result = Primus put all of us (8 of us) on guest list in Sopron. Two best days of our life. Being waiting for them to come to Europe for 20 years. We missed these years 2012 gigs due to our newborns, but we'll catch them up soon (they love Europe!!!)

what an awesome crew of musicians on stage in that vid!! Gotta love the whamola!! Les Claypool is and always will be my favorite musician!!

The first two songs are from Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, "Long in the tooth" and "Whamola". Then comes a couple of extracts from the 5 gallons of diesel DVD featuring Holly Mackerel. It's pretty hard to keep track of all the projects he is into specially when he plays songs from other projects such as Oysterhead and Sausage with whoever is playing at the time. Pretty amazing!!

feeling rather dorky in the brain.

Listen to this, that´s why i love Primus!

This is about the best Eva'! Les Claypool is my favorite genious!

That dude's electric guitar is so badass!!!!!

Last night in Calgary ...an awesome show! Eargasmic. : P

Cant believe i get to see the frog brigade in june so excited

universal musical perfection

Splendid.

hahaha i have this dvd its so amazing!

They definetely should give option to like videos periodically

It's nice to see some official videos up on youtube.

sledge-O-matic and the whamola

Love Les!

Amen!!!

amazing performances. god I wish I could be his drummer

"WHO'S GONNA DO WHAT SIMON SAYS?!!" i cant wait for hookahville!!! this is gonna be great!!!

@xlxDaGxlx This is from Bonnaroo 2002, I believe. You can get the entirety of Les' set, or at least most of it, on his DVD "5 Gallons of Diesel".

06:00 on : damn that Nimbus 2000 solo is good !

People is claiming: It's time to Mr.Claypool to do the "BEST OF"! My humble choice: introducing1)DingDang/Whamola (from this live set or the album "Purple Onion"); 2)Granny's Little Yard Gnome (from Les album withThe Holy Mackerel "Highball with the devil"); 3)Thela Hun Ginjeet (from California jam or the "Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade") 4)One Better (From "Of Whales and Woe"); 5)Little Faces, 6)Army's on Ecstasy (from Oysterhead); 7)Cosmic Highway (instrumental); 8)Vernon the Company Man, 9)Holy Mackerel,10)Phantom Patriot (from Les and His Fancy Band);11)Filipino Bay, 12)Scott Taylor (the !),13)Elephant Ghost (from "The Big Eyeball in the Sky"- of Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brain project)...Bonus track:14)Riddles Are Abound Tonight (why not?)...maybe a cover, one from "Of Funghi and Foe"and something of Duo de Twang?

that goose is a legend now..! hes 100% unreal, fact. and seinfeld!? i just dont know what to say.

Billy Joe Shaver brought me here.

Cant wait!!

GREAT!

Goddamn Boy! Tear That Sax UP!

dude its still that cool. you're just long in the tooth now, and we're watching primus watch us behind 3d glasses. :D you don't know what its like to have primus STILL tourin' strong! and better than ever, and still have time to kill between seeing bands and finding a spouse.

I miss the days when Primus was in its prime! Les Claypool always puts on a good show though.

All of the stuff on this youtube vid is Frog Brigade, the last sets are just with Brian Kehoe as the guitarist. Only the first two songs are Frog Brigade songs though

The best

les will posses my mind to the grave...I don't recognize him unmasked...Is that the "guitar playing redwood" from Frog's Brig? Saw FFB do the whole Animals set in NYC...see you in NJ with primus...thanks for comming back so soon...

Granny's little yard gnome is so sick! no one can sound like Skerik... not to mention les...

Why wasn't this used in Borderlands? This is awesome!

@Zhim74 5 gallons of diesel is the name of the dvd

At 5:50 what the Hell kind of instrument is Les playing!? Les Claypool can make a broomstick sound good. Much respect much respect!

bad ass...................

I'm a MidWest Hoosier....getting long in the tooth......

Nay, young Hunterwibush. He may have made a fumble, but he is still far beyond human...

That second song goes fuckin hard

I know buckethead. I only heard the song by Primus called the devil went down to Geargia.

Does anybody know the name of the last song on this video? The one where Claypool is wearing horns.

WHAT IS THE LAST THEME THAT SOUNDS

Does anyone know the name of the song near the end of video, with Les wearing the ram horns?

they say its a bit longg in the tooth now

does anyone know what the name of the last song played in this video?

The song after whamola is grannys little yard gnome

what's the name of the song that's played at the end with the DMV lyrics thrown in there?

Whats the last song called?

that would be sweet and sour,are those sausges made with veal?i love those veal ones.ty

@cusso74 Radio plays the hits. 90% of radio listeners want to hear the hits. It's higher with women listeners. That's why you don't hear this on the radio.

@cellerfullofpopcicle Wait, I went to 8:37, not 8:27. Not sure that thing is actually an official instrument, it looks like a modified drum.

Anybody know if Skerik and Eenor are on Les' current tour?

In Japanese it's like zakkenayo, or minna daiben suu, or anata wa baita. kuso gaki. you know.

Whats the title of that last track? can't recognize it...

what was that third song?

@TarpTrap Hahaha!! Indeed.

try watching this high, you won't believe it

what is the name of the song that starts at 10:27 ?

@cusso74 Nice!

@blacksquirrel963 It's called a whamola

@craziness5932 Ill be there too!!!

You youngins don't know what it was like to live in Berkeley when you were 20 yrs old ... Seas of Cheese had just come out. But during thr Frizzle Fry days ... Oooooo Nellly. Those were strange days indeed. You had PRIMUS, Mr Bungle, and the MELVINS just getting their feet wet in the bay. You hippies had your Zeppelin (cool), but we had a mix of RUSH, Residents, and XTC

to meanjeandj: its a delay pedal that reverses the delay. not a didgeridoo.

Them horns tho

is this really from march 2009? with eanor and the crazy drummer? and the old Holy Mackeral guitarist? is he taking those guys on tour nowadays or something?

I love this performance. Anyway,what does it mean the title 'Long in the tooth',.. pls anyone translates it into japanease?

I'm kinda new to Les' music. So can someone tell what band that is onstage with him?

fuck yea skerik!

alright. thanks =)

Price is right! 4:41

The sax sounds like a dog barking in the night.

yes it is Tim Alexander

the percussionist looks a little les insane without his goggles on

im guessing this is from the flying frog brigade

theres a lil thing in the center you rub with wet fingers and the skin on the back is pushed like to change the sound

4 people were so stupefied they hit dislike by axident

Looks like Herb!

getting old. the term long in the tooth refers to a horse as it gets older its teeth apear long because the gums recede. thus I'll take my dirty with a splash of vermouth (martini) i kinda like being long in the tooth!

Granny's Little Yard Gnome

whos that on the drum set?

I assume this is from Bonnaroo 2002?

this SUCKS!!! and I love it..

nothing like it....i want to take it everywhere...how do you put it on a mp3 player? you cant buy this in a store can you? the live sets..

Name caller.

Is this on fungi or foe?

8:12 to 8:38 wtf is he doing?? It's badass but like what the hell was it lol

@niminiminimnim That's so sad :/ There really is something surprisingly enchanting about a woman playing the acoustic bass... Those damn boybands, ruining music with their only-existing goals of making money!! Look at the bright side: You probably would've ended up doing hard drugs. Still, there's no reason to give it up if you don't want to! I started playing piano when I was 20 (and had never played before. Perhaps briefly a very few (like 8) times...), and now, as almost 22, I'm a demon!! :O

Dude did a pot solo what

ahh dude Les get rid of that Vneck, not cool man, love everything else you do though, such an inspiration, fa sho.

Hy look its les in the front row at 01:00 !

Actually long in the tooth means old, as some animals have their teeth grow longer as they grow older.
