About this episode
After Primus went on hiatus in 2000, Les Claypool was at a musical and professional crossroads. Eventually, he assembled a group of friends as Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade for some festivals, and after solidifying the lineup, took to touring the States in a small Airstream trailer. These efforts results in Live Frogs Set 1 and Set 2, which provide a glimpse into the early Frog Brigade experience: lots of Pink Floyd, Sausage, and Holy Mackerel, and a liberated musical experience in which Les and his fellow Frogs stretch, jam, and explore their sonic realm. The Frog experience introduced Les to the jam scene, which embraced him no matter what iteration performed, creating a new audience, and sound, that would eventually cross over into Primus and other projects. We dig into Live Frogs Set 1 and 2 to compare and contrast the original Animals reocrding to what the retooled Frog Brigade presents in 2023, and appreciate how the band elevates some righeous numbers from Sausage and Holy Mackerel. Get your frog on!
