For today’s installment of Full Show Friday we look back at long-lost supergroup Oysterhead. This trio featured Trey Anastasio of Phish on guitar, Primus bassist Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland of The Police pounding the skins. The group first came together at Superfly Productions’ urging in 2000 to play a show during that year’s New Orleans Jazz Fest in The Crescent City. Les, Trey and Stewart hit it off and reformed a year later to record what stands as their only studio album – The Grand Pecking Order. Oysterhead’s only tour took place towards the end of 2001 and for five years that was it.
The group reformed at Superfly’s urging to play Bonnaroo in 2006. Oysterhead’s entire set was webcast and a rip of that broadcast has been uploaded to YouTube for our viewing pleasure.
