Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, Remain in Light Play Last Show Together in Tampa

Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade embarked on a huge 41-date tour across the U.S. from the middle of May and stretching through the middle of July. Eleven of those dates also featured Remain in Light, the superb Talking Heads show headlined by Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew and featuring Cool Cool Cool. Their final date together was on Tuesday, June 20, at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa. MusicFestNews photographer John Strojny (Silent J Studio) captured the action, a lot of it through blue-filtered lights!
