Morphine & Les Claypool - "Honey White" - Hi-N-Dry Studios

[@woodfamily5229]

How can I be a Primus fan and a Morphine fan and just now finding this video?!

[@themostoriganalthing]

Derrick G Wood. Right?! You beat me by 7 months it says.

[@Karmy.]

I know right?! holy shit

[@co6249]

My thoughts exactly

[@plamen9069]

Same ;)

[@antboy76]

Beat me by a year. Born in 1976, If that's pertinent.

[@dustinprewitt]

Ive always said that Primus and Morphine were the two most original bands that defied genres and could only exist in the 90s. Pleasantly surprised to see this collaboration

[@liamsanchezgoestovegas]

Wanna defy genres? Ween.

[@scottsaloney]

This is excellent!!!!!!!

[@mrmarconavarro]

i strongly agree. even being a fan of les claypool, mark sandman's voice was an essential instrument for the music of morphine. on the other hand we have to recognize that the initiative of pay tribute to mark sandman deserves standing ovations from us. congratulations, but above all, thank you. M.

[@loungefly92]

This justifies Mark's greatness.

[@8wheeledassassins.]

I got to hear the Presidents of the United States of America do Thursday live once. It was awesome!

[@serpentswyrls]

I like the way Les Claypool sings here in that it contrasts with the original instead of trying to imitate. It's like he says between the lines, "there's no other like Mark Sandman, we miss you Mark". And that is right.

[@darling_danke_schoen]

MAN! I saw Les Claypool jamming with Mark Sandman at a side stage at H.O.R.D.E. fest in… what… 1996? At Alpine Valley here in Wisconsin. I knew them both then and was stupefied as to what I just stumbled onto. This was not a planned thing, I think… and not their major acts because each played later on the big stage. I won't (and didn't) forget that moment and this here makes sense in ref to that!

[@setboy1]

Not very many musical moments I hear about that I feel jealous about, but you sure have named one of them right here!

[@darling_danke_schoen]

Yeah, I only have a couple truly rock-n-roll stories. Let's see... DJ Swamp at Cactus Club bar hitting on my girlfriend at the time after his set, lol... the time I saw The White Stripes (same place) play when I was high on like 5 hits of acid (sheesh! pretty epic, tho ;) and then there was that time when Billy Corgan came to see the Frogs play there, and Wesley Willis tried to sell him some of his CD's, and Billy said no... hahaha good times! That's about it, tho. I'm retired from rock-n-roll. It's the quiet life with only "boring stories of glory days" as Bruce Springy used ta sing

[@fatsolutions]

That would have been amazing!

[@TheCarlosBill]

Hello Handyman100; well I think you did a great experience. In your opinion, was Mark Sandman's playing more impressive and rawer maybe because of his two-strings-only tuning and slide? Or Les Claypool was more, as he played those exquisite scales and sometimes using the whammy-bar? Was Sandman's bass louder than Les' bass? Did that performance remind you of some remote R&B or even psychedelic rock, or thery simply didn't remind nothing, becasue they were so many years ahead of our time, as I think myself? Thanks if you respond me. I play the bass (live here in Rio) but would like to have seen both live. They together and live...you was in a historic moment!!! Best wishes.

[@jacquiefreteluco8627]

This is what was played: 1997-08-02 Alpine Valley Jam, East Troy, WI, USA 01. Birthday Cake* 02. Eleven O'Clock* 03. Turtle* 04. Pulled Over The Car* 05. Lilah** * - with Les Claypool on bass (Mark Sandman on slide guitar). ** - with Jane Scarpantoni (Ben Folds Five) on cello.

[@OhanaFilms]

This is in no way a dis to Les Claypool, I think this version is cool. Hearing the song without Mark's bass and voice makes you really appreciate how perfect Morphine was together. Every once in a while the exact right people get together at the exact right time with the exact right talent. I'm glad Les joined them for this. I'm sure he realized he had big unique shoes to fill.

[@mlf1980]

they were indeed perfect.. Mark was one of the best lyricists since Joplin. Cash, Hendrix and SR Vaughn.. indig both new and old blues but nobody beats Mark

[@johnmartin9451]

Hey Karen, then why are you dising? You know Mark's dead. STFU. This was a genius mix. I would have never paired Les and Morphine, but it freakin' works. Glass half empty aren't you? This beats the shit out of Sammy Hagar replacing ELR.

[@EtcEtcAndEtc]

Great musicians. Mark is sorely missed

[@rirkc]

Two of my favorite performers coming together. Love.

[@Ruleroftheblind]

I'd just love to hear Morphine doing a Primus song. Preferably, Tommy the Cat.

[@WhatInTheActual]

💯🎶🏝🐈

[@evanwhite7226]

This would be perfect

[@bassiclymike]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Les (and Jerome and Dana and Billy) for doing this!!!!!! Phenomenal tribute to Mark! In another world, it would have made a great Primus song!

[@necastivac]

Dana Colley killing it...

[@scotthebert6129]

This is probably the best quality recording of Les Claypool's signature bass in existence.

[@Homanjer]

There's others of similar quality. There was a live show recording from Jimmy Kimmel's show in 2011 I think. One of the very last shows he played that replica piccolo bass. A few months after he was already playing the pachyderm basses.

[@Homanjer]

Also signature bass? The bass which he is known by mostly yeah but that bass wasn't built for him or anything like that so I wouldn't really call it a signature.

[@seanscott7070]

It took sometime to get past the sadness of his death, but im just happy that he was here at all. What a legacy.

[@TommyTheCat42]

When Claypool played Boston a few years ago the guys from Morphine came out and played, what a treat it was!

[@DanaColley1]

hey scrogy thanks for making an exception to your rule we wouldn"t want to take advantage however and have too much of a career at our old age. Oh my look at the time got to go I'm late for Bingo down at the Senior Center-Dana Colley

[@jimthethirdprobably]

these have been my two favourite bands ever since i discovered them and i never knew this existed

[@xrcjpx]

Yeah, great, never thought this would happen...or did I. Les & Morphine what a match....hats off!

[@DaBellaDaBall]

Can anyone think of anything that Les Claypool can not do?? I think this is absolutley amazing!!!! And what an awesome tribute to a fantastic band and an incredible man!!! I have been a fan of Morphine for a while but, more a fan of Les' , this only makes me that much more of a Claypool fan!!! He is a musical magician!!!

[@sebastiansmith5546]

It was really easy to ignore his singing and instead hear Mark's voice in my head.

[@CarlosAdrianMorales250283]

my two favorite bassist...together in the spirit of the music. Hi and kisses Mark Sandman

[@francescopaolocoletti]

Supreme! Incredibile version! I love It❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@harrisonwintergreen1147]

Oh wow what's treat! I hope there's an hour of jams like this

[@cooked5439]

i need more

[@rayboseley4650]

A collision of incredible

[@xrcjpx]

yeah Les is the best bassist that has come along in music....I've luckily seem Morphine twice live...great!

[@dawidklucz849]

Great tribute by awesome legend

[@twinsmm1]

Bad to the Bone!!! A friend tuned me on to Morphine a long time ago. So sad when Mark Sandman passed. Morphine... so unique. Glad to see the band made an impression someone like Les Claypool.

[@johnmartin9451]

I would have never thought Les Claypol could sub for Mark but that was pretty good.

[@FrostyJim6969]

So glad I found this. Supremely Bad Ass.

[@primussucks2519]

holy mackerel, i never knew this existed. i love both so much, uh real treat

[@Kampfwageneer]

I interned briefly at that studio before Andrew mazzone passed away RIP

[@fatsolutions]

Wow what an awesome version Les Claypool is amazing, he has done a brilliant interpretation of a classic.

[@davidtingley9978]

Les totally needs to do a Morphine tribute tour

[@neilmartin3220]

Very nice tribute.

[@imsalvation]

[@ramonraulquinterosbecerra3498]

This is a beautiful tribute and I couldn't think of a better person to do it than Les.

[@rainbowrotcod]

Holy shit!! Morphine with Primus! What an amazing combination!!

[@rainbowrotcod]

So true

[@mikeyhout2989]

What a groove.if you dont tap your feet to this, your legs have been amputated.

[@guillermoortega4119]

AWESOME

[@PSUK]

Great tribute to MS. His two string bottleneck slide bass was absolutely key to the Morphine sound though. Thanks for posting! 😘

[@johnbidochka]

Sounds amazing.... two of my favs!

[@Kittle1]

Can't believe I've never seen this, as a fan of Morphine and Primus.

[@donkeypoopoo]

Wow, as a fan of both Les and Morphine... thank you so much for this. Amazing and so sad to see Mark pass so early on and good to see other folks still remembering the awesome mark he made on music in the 90's. He and the band are very much missed.

[@outstandingsound]

Nice work. These guys should form a band and go on tour.

[@PRSGuitarist1]

[@hailsaturn]

Oh my fucking god, this is amazing. I can't believe I haven't seen this earlier. I can't even describe how amazed I am at this with a sentence describing my inability to describe how amazed I am...

[@trishlatham4958]

Luv this song :-)

[@KillYourIdols77]

ACABO DE DESCUBRIR EL SANTO GRIAL! dos de las banda de mi vida en la misma habitacion tocando!!

[@TheVioletBunny]

Wow when 3 icons converge to pay tribute to another icon. Imagine if they wrote new songs as a brand new band with this line up? Mark would be proud.

[@dbldee22]

Awesome!

[@machinescapes]

i appreciate les’s interpretation instead of trying to imitate mark. he knows there is only one!

[@noamericansdown]

very cool both drummers from morhine and dana and les nice job!

[@ravynkat]

les claypool is da man! his hands are like water over that bass...over any bass!

[@nivlemelvin1]

les' tone is fucking phenomenal. RIP sandman, he would be proud.

[@MrRufioooo]

AWESOOOOOOME

[@tommah24]

back when claypool brought the oddity fair to the house of blues in boston, morphine came on stage and performed with him, and it was awesome

[@Rondileles]

perfect!

[@thumpfinger]

Very cool

[@chucku00]

Great to see Les with Morphine, I always had the intimate conviction that Primus (Sausage, C2B3, etc..) and Morphine were connected in some way all across the United States of Unconsciousness !

[@risingpower]

lol les claypool's voice. dunno how i listened to that in high school. but nice tribute to mark.

[@155moops]

great!

[@thomasyoung7286]

That bass tone. Stuff of dreams

[@zhiguli8]

Thomas Young not if you heard the original

[@Wolfeboy212]

Oh fuck! If Morphine were ever to tour again, this would be an excellent lineup!

[@ashbyguy]

the members of Morphine now have a band called the Ever Expanding Elastic Waste Band. Mostly play Massachusetts, I believe.

[@deltabilly1]

Dana and Jerome tour sometimes with vapors of morphine

[@Thrarin666]

Morphine and Les together! crisis!!

[@renafielding945]

Too good to be true

[@Dreadmonkey1]

Wait, this was thing? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

[@fireheart0]

You guys totally tour together that would be straight up awesome and or make a band pop up option

[@mistabook]

Surreal.

[@argonauths]

i consider Les as one of the best bassists today but Marks sound was miles beyond..

[@johnnyrokkit]

As a few folks have already stated, *nothing* can possibly compare to the original Sandman vocal on a Morphine track. But I do dig this for what it is. Another tremendous bass player and vocalist putting his spin on this for the sake of a tribute. In that way I can appreciate that thin veneer of Primus funk layered on top. RIP Sandman, Long Live Les and remaining members of Morphine!

[@federicoionescu4067]

Increíble.

[@sketchesforyou8020]

I'm from Somerville, holy shit.

[@raulfernandorodriguez533]

Obra maestra !!!

[@SCROGY]

@maverickdoesgoose Avant-garde (French pronunciation: [avɑ̃ɡaʁd]) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".[1] The adjective form is used in English to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.

[@joaquinalbonico723]

R.I.P billy conway 1956-2021

[@Mortslake]

Some people r so stupid, this is a TRIBUTE. Of course the version with Mark was best...
