Looper Heard but not spotted



Dear all,

        Ok, been a small bit of time since there's been one of these posts,
however, after seeing one of the more fun shows in a while, several
"yo-ho-ho's" later wanted to bring this up.  Our boy who makes a few Stick
Players cringe along with making even more bass players wonder was heard
using a looper to produce drones and very quick (less than 12 seconds)
repeats of passages.  Couldn't see what Les was using for his looping gear,
and know that he was using lots of different digital delays (at least two
at one go) flangers, wah's and quite a few more distortion effects.  Les
Claypool only did this about 4 times through out the concert with Frog
Brigade, however, what a wonderful show.
        Slightly off-topic, only caught a few of the covers, though 
opening with
"Locomotive Breath" was a scream (think that it was to spot several of the
"over-thirty-fives" in the audience).  Shame that he didn't play "Silly
Putty" or actually play/sing more of the various Peter Gabriel songs that 
he
was going through in one of the many medley's during the show (Games 
Without
Frontiers was the most prominent).

        Catch you on the flip side!

                so fragile, so ephemeral...
                it arouses such a bittersweet,
                almost heartbreaking fondness."
