Watch The Claypool Lennon Delirium Set That Will Air On PBS’s “Front Row Boston
As the year winds to a close, there seems to be a consensus that The Claypool Lennon Delirium is one of the best new projects to come out of 2016. Consisting of Les Claypool, the legendary madman bassist of Primus, and Sean Lennon, infamous guitarist of The Ghost of A Saber Tooth Tiger, the two have been blowing minds across the US with their dark and twisted psychedelic rock.
To acquaint new listeners to the project, Front Row Boston, a project produced by WGBH Music and Crossroads Presents in association with NPR Music, was there to capture the Claypool Lennon Delirium’s show in August at the House of Blues in Boston.
The resulting footage is a aesthetically beautiful and sonically expansive introduction to the Claypool Lennon Delirium, which also features keyboardist Pete Drungle and drummer Paolo Baldi of Cake. Those with patience can catch the set on television this Saturday, December 17, at 11:30 PM on WGBH 2. Kindly, the folks over at WGBH Music have made the video along with a setlist available now online, both of which can be found below.
The video that will be airing slices out the non-Primus covers performed during the night. Luckily, many of those performances have also been made available online. Front Row Boston’s website also contains covers of The Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” and King Crimson’s “The Court of the Crimson King.” You can also watch The Claypool Lennon Delirium cover King Crimson’s “Thela Hun Ginjeet” below.
