I'll never forget the drive to this show. We should not have arrived safely, but did. Oh man, to be 20 years old again..

[@marcoilariuzzi]

Changing key, change rhythm, rearrange a song require some skills, but changing time signature is another level altogether. Geniuses.

This happened 20 fucking years ago. Pre 9/11. Holy Jesus. I was 12 and the only thing I knew about Les Claypool was that his band sang the South Park intro. On a different note, I feel like this theater never gets the respect it deserves. To people from out of town it probably just looks like an old-timey movie theater that only plays past-their-prime movies before they hit home release. Those who know, though, understand that there have been some legendary performances there. In the heart of unassuming Davis Square.

I'm glad we see eye to eye.

Don't think I've ever seen Claypool without glasses.

[@bitwise420]

After the first set, the drummer holds up a bag of weed and off they went. Then came back and played Animals straight through.

[@joehynes5452]

Such a gem to find a live version with video!!

[@electricwaster]

[@oldnatty61]
