Nothing on the Drum & Tuba but here is a second hand review of the Claypool show:
> I went into last night's show with some fairly lofty expectations. I
> walk
> into the Newport with Deadweight still playing and Les is on stage
> with
> them...and it sounds really good. They played for about 10 more
> minutes and
> then they left the stage. Enter Les and Co. David Makalaster opened
> the show
> and it led to a great freeflow jam. I believe it was during Buzzards
> of
> Green Hill that a member of Deadweight came out and played a mean
> violin
> duel vs. Skerik, an early highlight. After Long in the Tooth, Les
> introduced
> Adrian Belew and he came out in a red jammies, and a horned hat ala
> the
> promo shots for the 1st album. They rushed right into a benchmark
> version of
> Belew's Thela Hun Ginjeet. Adrian had a sonic sound that assaulted
> the ears
> and was a welcome addition to Eenor's sometimes anemic playing. This
> version
> was by far the best I've heard. Highball with the Devil was every bit
> as
> aggressive and segued into an energetic drums with Dean, Mike D, and
> Skerik
> all in the mix. Last night was probably the most amped and animated
> I've
> seen Mike Dillion...played with a fire in his belly! Everyone returns
> to the
> stage and they dig right back into Highball. Holy Mackeral followed
> to the
> delight of the crowd...once again Adrian was not just a show piece on
> the
> stage...he was almost arrested several times for assaulting his
> whammy bar!
> Seriously, this guy was the whammy bar junkie. The highlight of the
> night
> ended up being D's Diner! So good to hear this song and have the
> crowd so
> responsive from the get go. Adrian, once again, brought his sonic
> whammy
> antics to push the sound over the top. Adrian stayed for Calling Kyle
> and
> then left the stage. The band went into Makalaster II and then
> Whammola..which is always fun to hear. Adrian rejoined the boys (in
> street
> gear - all black) looking a bit like Mark Knopfler to be honest, for
> Taxman.
> It was a hot version and the crowd gave them a huge response to end
> the
> night. I felt very lucky to get to see this show. Depending on
> transfer, I
> should be able to get these discs out in a week or so. Here's the
> setlist...
