On Wednesday, The Claypool Lennon Delirium opened up their 2019 spring tour with a stop at Toronto, ON’s Danforth Music Hall. Les Claypool and Sean Lennon recently released their second album together, South of Reality, via ATO. South of Reality is the follow-up to 2016’s Monolith of Phobos, the band’s debut record that displayed their fascinatingly raw authenticity, and 2017’s Lime And Limpid Green EP, which featured psychedelic covers of Pink Floyd, The Who, King Crimson, and Flower Travellin’ Band.
In Toronto, the Claypool Lennon Delirium worked through material off of Monolith of Phobos and South of Reality, which included the live debut of “Broiska”, as well as covers of Pink Floyd’s “Astronomy Domine”, King Crimson’s “The Court of the Crimson King”, and The Who’s “Boris the Spider”.
The band also welcomed Rush bassist and Toronto native Geddy Lee to add some depth on the low end for a set-closing cover of The Beatles‘ “Tomorrow Never Knows, off of the group’s beloved 1966 Revolver album. Claypool and Lee locked into some double bass action beside the son of late Beatle John Lennon. Claypool walked offstage mid-song to allow Lee a chance to take the spotlight. The Claypool Lennon Delirium returned sans Lee and delivered a one-song encore of Primus favorite, “Southbound Pachyderm”.
