What seriously? They do teach us this sort of thing in American schools. There are 10 provinces (and 2 territories).

And if you’ll notice, the number of Canadian hockey teams + the number of canadian teams that moved to the US = 10.

ZING!

I personally am a 2-3 Venti Frappuchino with double shot of espresso per day guy myself.

Cocconut creme with soy milk is especially delicious.

Good topic, but I take deference to this board being dead. I saved this place once, and I can honestly say I don’t think it needs it again.

Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade (opening: Deadweight) – The NorVa, Norfolk, VA – 11.10.2002

Awesome show. My friend Ricky (the world’s biggest Les fan) and I showed up about 30 minutes early, which I’m sure to you all doesn’t seem early at all, but in Virginia time, that’s comparable to showing up 8 years before the concert starts. The only other people in line were two 40 year olds in Grateful Dead shirts who were shocked SHOCKED to learn that you can’t carry a DAT with stand into a music venue anymore.

So, anyway, doors opened at 7 and we plant ourselves literally front center on the rail. We talked up a security guard for about 45 minutes who told us stories about some of the bands he’d met in the last two years worknig there: Stone Temple Pilots, System of a Down, Clutch, Garbage, GWAR, megadeth, Staind, etc. He also told us what a giant weird dick Maynard was when APC played last year, but that’s a story for another night.

The opneing band was definitely inspired by Primus. They played some funky electric bluegrass-esque stuff and were really good. They played for about 45 minutes.

Around 9:15, the frog brigade made their way on stage, first Brain who set up back and right of center on drums, then the new secondary precussinoist who was left of center and back. Then the saxophonist came out in full devil regallia, then treefrog (aka enoid) came out and man, that sucker was 7′ at least. Finally, Les Claypool came out and he was wearing his usual long nose mask that he always begins with. The cool thing was, his mike stnad had two mikes, one at about 6′ and one around 4.5′, for when he would put his foot up on his monitor and duck down. I thought that was cool.

The setlist went as follows:
Cosmic Highway
Theia
Kylie
Di’s Diner
Holy Mackerel
Space Oddity [Bowie]
Lights
David Makalaster I
David Makalaster II
Whamola => Southbound Packiderm (tease) => Whamola
—
Taxman [The Beatles]

Claypool’s new stuff is much better live, although no amount of energy could save Lights or Kylie, they’re just too Phish-esque. Di’s Diner was a definite highlight with everyone singing along to the chorus. Fans were pretty intelligent, picking up perfectly the switch into Holy Mackerel and singing the entire thing. Claypool left after HM and came back on stage wearing his army helmet with flashlights bulit into the eye sockets. He played Bowie’s Space Oddity to perfection and kept leaning into the crowd and holding his hand just above where people could reach (just being an asshole, I guess). The two versions of David Makalaster were awesome and lots sang along to the choruses for them as well, and people even started jumping around.

The biggest crowd buzz of the evening came during Whamola when Les played about 10 seconds of Southbound Packiderm which caused the whole place to erupt, which I thought suprising since most people wouldn’t recognize 10 seconds of a riff of a song on Primus’ worst album, or so I’d think. Anyway, he came out for an encore, which wasn’t on the setlist, and played a 10 minute funk version of Taxman by the Beatles, ending around 11:30. That’s 2:15 for a concert with only a 2 minute break – pretty good! After the show, some fucked kid jumped on stage, grabbed a setlist and leaped into the crowd. Most clubs, no biggie, but at NorVa, you’re getting your ass kicked by security, who put him in a chokehold. One of the roadies gave my friend Ricky a setlist eventually, which is cool because Les hand draws pictures on all the setlists and signs them knowing people will get them. I think Ricky was going to frame it along with the first ticket sold to the show. Anyway, as we were waiting to by stickers in the merchandise counter, that same dumb kid tried to rip a Claypool poster off the club wall and run out the doors. In the process, he smashed into the ticket taker’s stand thing which – being made of wood – shattered into little pieces. As we left, police were hauling that kid away.

All in all, if anyone has a chance to see Claypool, do so. He’s not playing any Primus, but man, he’s still the most talented bass player I’ve seen.
