Stew's awesome Oyster background vocals

I just noticed Stewart really hollering in the background on "Polka Dot Rose." He really starts letting it rip about 2:30 into the song. Why, when I have heard this song 100 times, am I now just noticing this?

Here's hoping for more of the same, and soon.

(Hell. I'm happy about the Police, but I had been really looking forward to an Oysterhead record this year.......)

I second the desire to hear SC hollering. Or singing. Or holler-singing. Whichever he can muster.

I just had the vision of Anastasio and Claypool coming onstage during a Police performance. :shock: That would be the craziest mash-up. I think Sting would wet himself.

DiveMistress & DM: I concur, ANY new material from Oyesterhead would be well received :!:
When I last seen them perform (fall 2001), Claypool was up on stage talking to the crowd and giving Stewart the gears about having been in some band called The Police and proceeded to get the audience howling with laughter. :D
This was the last time I had seen Stewart perform live and he was at the top of his game (as per usual) :!:
I think Sting would mess his drawers if those two showed up :!:
:D :D :D Eleventeen more days until meltdown 8) 8) 8)

When it was finally sure that there would be a reunion, I thought (just for a second), "Fuck, that means no Oysterhead album!" I quickly shook myself out of that, of coarse I want to see the Police more then have a new Oysterhead album.... but I was so looking forward to one + a tour!

Mmmmyeah. I really like Claypool. Course, Andy Summers will be well worth seeing as well...

FYI for anyone in the NYC area: Claypool will be playing June 2nd at the Nokia Times Square.

Are you sure it's Stewart? I always thought it was Trey.

I think it is Stewart a'hollerin. He's got a pretty distinctive voice.

Like in Roxanne. I couldn't pick Andy out if I tried. Stewart's just all out there.

*sigh* I wanted to see him in Philly this time around on June 3 but I have an arts festival to work that day, darn it. I'll probably be too exhausted. But he puts on a great show so if you can catch the tour I'm sure it's great!

Damn, sockii -- you just can't seem to win this year! Think you might get a second wind that night? Perhaps with a caffeine crutch? I mean, it IS Claypool.

Oh yeah, that's ANOTHER one I'm missing. Fah.

Considering I'll be up from about 5am that morning to set up a tent and be outdoors working until 5-6pm, we'll have to see. Les usually doesn't even hit the stage until about 11pm, so it would be pushing it.
