Les Claypool

In 2016, Les Claypool was already making waves as part of The Claypool Lennon Delirium, a unique collaboration with Sean Lennon. Just before this live performance of 'The Court of the Crimson King,' they released their debut album, 'Monolith of Phobos,' which showcased a distinct blend of psychedelic rock and experimental sounds reflective of both artists' styles. The performance took place at the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, a fitting venue for Claypool's eclectic approach to music. Fun fact: Claypool is known for his unconventional bass techniques, and his work often includes quirky humor and complex rhythms, making his live shows a mix of musical intricacy and pure enjoyment. This cover pays homage to King Crimson, a band that undoubtedly influenced Claypool's musical journey, connecting the dots from the progressive rock roots to his modern twist.
