Happy Birthday Les Claypool | Primus & Oysterhead Videos

We’d like to wish a very happy birthday to one of the best bassists in the game –Les Claypool. Les has been splitting his time between Primus and Duo De Twang thus far in 2014, but will soon turn the focus squarely on Primus with the extensive Primus & The Chocolate Factory Tour set to begin in a few weeks.

We want to celebrate Les’s birthday by re-sharing a few full show videos we’ve posted over the years we think you’ll enjoy.
