The Claypool-Lennon Delirium, the supergroup comprised of Sean Lennon and Primus’ Les Claypool, brought their tour to NYC’s Irving Plaza on Tuesday (8/30). As with the last time they were in the area, they covered Pink Floyd’s “Astronomy Domine” as well as the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” in addition to a bunch of material from the group’s debut album Monolith of Phobos.
This time though, they also broke out a great rendition of King Crimson’s “In the Court of the Crimson King” and “Thela Hun Ginjeet,” and Les also busted out a little bass solo rendition of “Pure Imagination” as a tribute to the late Gene Wilder. (Primus did that whole Willy Wonka thing, you may remember.) They were also joined by a very special guest for the last song, Sean’s mom Yoko Ono, who helped out with the Primus song “Southbound Pachyderm.” Watch video of that below.
Pictures are in the gallery above, and you can check out the setlist and the “Southbound Pachyderm” below.
