Live Frogs: set 2
So if you are into Pink Floyd like I am, and you like Pink Floyd’s Animals this album is going to rock your world. Seriously I’m fairly positive that in the history of cover-albums there has never been a more awesome cover for any Floyd album!
Colonel Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade was a cover band that recorded two live albums: Live Frogs: set 1 and Live Frogs: set 2. It was released in 2001 by a band that was assembled by Les Claypool. Les Claypool is a very talented bassist, mostly known for being the bassist for the band Primus. But when he assembled this group they created something so beautiful, that when I first heard it I was left speechless!

The album is a complete cover for the Pink Floyd’s album Animals. In the first frogs set they also covered parts of Shine on You Crazy Diamond, showing that they were true Pink Floyd fans. But Les Claypools frog brigade totally went out of their way to show off what they could do with audio effects on a live-podium They copy-cat the effects almost perfectly and it doesn’t sound like a cover band at all. It just sounds like it could’ve been Floyd playing this live, except for the voice which is a bit different. But the rest is just so great.
This is a great item to add to your collection if you’re a Floyd fan. So be sure to check it out!
