Great conversation. In all my 62 yrs I have seen my fare share of live performances and missed twice as many others. I got into Claypool early 2000's and have seen him almost a dozen times in several incarnations. I caught the C2B3 performance in Sacramento Ca. 11/03/04 at the Crest Theater, an awesome venue. It was the best concert I've ever attended (there were a few GratefulDead show in the early 80" that were mind bending)Regardless of the heavy dose of 2CI I had consumed which grabbed me by my shortie hairs n dragged damn near everywhere, I survived this funky groove heavy onslaught and the walk to a hotel room in the rain created extra ripples in my brain matter where I keep the memories of that night. And having a crisp clear recording of the show to refresh the memories is priceless... With Les there is always more. He's found a way with that bass he plays, makes me swim in pools of clay...

the best song of purple onion indeed! i want to say that in the reprise of the last track, Les doesn't do root notes, in fact, he does a strumming with full octaves which goes like (in bass tabs and refering to A - D - G strings) 3 - 5 - 5 / 5 - 7 -7 / and ends it with a powerful strumming in 8 - 10 - 10 that is why you listen more powerful than the rest of the song, plus the envelope filter with that distorsion in it. great podcast! i really enjoyed. i really study this song back in the 2021 bc i was really obssesed with it. in my personal opinion, the Boonaro version of 2009 is the best in RU-vid because he samples in the reprise with Wynonas Big Brown Beaver!!!! Salutes from Argentina, buenos aires !
Loving this C2B3 stuff! Do you have any insight into the 2002-09-13 show at Slim’s that I believe was professionally filmed for (I assume) a DVD release?
🤩😍GREAT SHOW!! Thanks for sharing! Right there with ya in regards to Carpenter! My fav!💕 dang, this episode is gonna be on repeat for awhile for sure! 😎
Internet quality in 1996 was a lot better than people expected, especially with the rise of cable companies offering "high-speed" internet that was several magnitudes faster than Dial-Up, as well as DSL connections becoming significantly cheaper for the public.
