The Claypool Lennon Delirium - Southbound Pachyderm | Live at House of Blues

08/26/2016 Boston, MA.
Jam session and bass solo at the end, enjoy.

[@danielk8906]

If you have ever played the bass you must see Claypool at least once. It's unreal. You can literally FEEL the notes rolling off of his fingers. It vibrates through your soul.

[@heatherwhatever7714]

Great description.

[@DingDangg]

Seen him twice

[@ncdoomtrooper]

I play guitar and Claypool is absolutely mind blowing on bass ! I’ve seen them several times and it’s always absolutely incredible!

[@groovyone]

I've lost count of how many different times I've seen him. Not that the number is huge. But my memories from 1997-2012 are pretty cloudy. I believe it's around 8-10.

[@Mogget01]

That 2D bass of his is amazing

[@Weedwhackers25]

When les claypool was born the doctor said congratulations it’s a legend

[@m.rogers9490]

FANTASTIC DRUMMER .

[@GuitarDeuce]

Les is a mad musical genius. The fact that he’s stood the test of time speaks for itself.

[@snrp0169]

Yes exactly The fact that he has been the lead guitarist as a bass player for fucking 20 whatever years like he deserves all the respect

The Arena flooded and I ran from the lawn and started hopping seats till I got to the 5th row center stage while Neil Young was playing. The area started flooding and the power went out. Did Neil stop, Nope! They continued on until back up generators got started. They literally was playing by flashlights. Sparked up a hootie and soaked it in. The rain stopped and the second stage started with Primus. That was when the mud people where born. I will never forget that day.

[@RChero1010]

I grew up listening to both Primus and Tool among many other bands whenever I saw my dad. I agree that this song has that sort of vibe even if the sound is different. Anyways, ended up buying tickets to see them with my dad before covid, finally saw them a few weeks ago in Cincinnati. This was the song they ended the night on after their second set for the Rush tribute and it was a really cool feeling in the pit as the song went on. Everyone was listening.
