This CD is pretty good, I saw these guys at the Civic in Santa Cruz and they rocked better than on this disc. They played more Pink Floyd. Yeah this is definitely an excellent CD to trip out on when you're going to bed or whatever, awesome bass from the man.

Every bass player should hear this!

A most excellent live album. Les Claypool did one heck of a job putting together his band, because they sound like they've been playing together for years (which is the case with Todd Huth and Jay Lane). Claypool loves to kinda talk to the crowd in the middle of the song, whether to introduce a solo or something along that line (Eenor's "Jim Bush" comes to mind). You won't find overly difficult basslines or even a bass solo on the entire album (except for a VERY short one at the beginning of Riddles Are Abound Tonight). I'm a sucker for live music, and you should buy this album if you are too.

Definitly a great recording, but not up to Les Claypool standards. First of all, the set has five of seven songs coming from Sausage or Holy Mackerel. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is suprising to see becuase of what is to come on the second set, but Claypool does mix it up by playing the Jack Irons version. Other wise there's not very much variety campared to bootleg recordings of this set that include "Harold of the Rock" and "Colonel Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade" (Beatles cover of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"). Secondly, the commentary on Live Frogs: Set One isn't as exciting or humorus as it could have been. Definitly not a shining moment for Claypool's acute wit. And lastly, the sound quality didn't seem to be up to par, considering other live Claypool productions such as Suck On This and and the bonus tracks from Rhinoplasty. Overall, Live Frogs: Set One is a good album, but don't pay twenty dollars for it. Wait a few years and snatch it out of the Bargin Bin at you local hardware store. I'll have my eye out for Live Frogs: Set Two (cover of entire Pink Floyd album, "Animals"), and hopefully it shall be more impressive.

If you love Primus, get it. It's got Sausage and Holy Mackerel cuts on sandwiched between King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet and Pink Floyd's Shine on you Crazy Diamond. A magnificent live set bordering on genius and insanity. Les is surrounded by his huge bass sound and backed by some really bad mothers. Like Primus it Sucks. Just INCREDIBLE.
