Primus Concert Schedule
American Rock band Primus first came together in the mid-1980s, bringing fans a distinct style of Alternative Rock that wholly distinguishes them from their contemporaries. Primus' tour dates -- which include their 2017 Ambushing The Storm Tour, 2014 Primus & The Chocolate Factory Tour, and 2014 Spring Tour -- have taken the group across the globe. Their tour stops are mostly centered in the Americas but often include legs in Europe and Oceania as well. During their live shows, Primus delivers their trademark brand of rock, metal, and funk elements, laced with ridiculous lyrics sung by bassist Les Claypool (along with his legendary slap bass stylings). Their musicianship is combined with wild costumes and a sense of theater that get audiences moving and laughing in equal measure. Primus' superb musicianship and stage presence haven't gone unnoticed. Their early 1990s work, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese and Pork Soda, both went platinum. In addition, Their 1996 release, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, and their 2013 re-release of Sailing The Seas Of Cheese both earned them Grammy nominations: Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Surround Sound Album, respectively.
Primus Background
In San Francisco, in 1984, founding member and bassist Les Claypool linked up with guitarist Todd Huth and drummer Jay Lane to form the original Primus. The lineup has gone through several changes over the years, featuring other greats like Peter Libby, Robbie Bean, Tim Wright and even temporary touring members like Buckethead and Danny Carey. Throughout every iteration, though, Primus has always had a knack for putting on stellar shows and concocting unmistakably quirky music. Primus' debut album, Frizzle Fry, garnered them some success with smaller hits like the eponymous "Frizzle Fry," "Pudding Time" and "Mr. Knowitall." They enjoyed even greater acclaim with their 1991 release, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, which included classic singles like "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" and "Tommy The Cat." Since their inception, Primus has released more than seven studio albums, with numerous singles gaining spots on the U.S. Alternative charts. Perhaps most enduring is Primus' legacy. The trio has always featured powerhouse musicians and eccentric vocals. Claypool's work on bass, however, redefined the role of the instrument within a rock context and provided a blueprint for the inclusion of tricky (but funky) bass licks in future works by other bands like Incubus, Korn and Limp Bizkit.
Great show. Just them, their instruments & some lights. Played for 2 and 1/2 hours. Played some different tunes as well as favorites with some improv in-between. 3rd time seeing them but 1st time in such an intimate venue. Would highly recommend if your a fan
The concert was incredible. Light show was awesome!!!
Wow, what a show! First time seeing Primus, and I was definitely more than impressed. They played my favorite song (My name is mud), and it warmed my soul. Will definitely be seeing them again when they come back in town.
The venue was so easy to get into. Easy to get out of. The concert was amazing. All the bands did a superb job. Thank you!
Tell everyone the details of your experience is what I'm doing. Primus is the greatest. Primus with APC and Puscifer was most excellent. Great show. The final song was amazing! All 3 drummers going at once and all 3 bands collaborating. It was truly trippy. APC played some of their best songs. The Puscifer songs were okay but not the best songs I've heard. Primus played a lot of good classics but was limited due to the nature of the concert. Still one of the best concerts I've been to and I've seen over 100.
Simply put, each band was superb. Incredibly grateful that I got to watch with such great seats! Excited to see more shows in the future! Rock ON!
Amazing, upbeat, nonstop music & Maynard was fucking amazing.
Primus has been playing for decades and has such a unique sound. They play those beats and riffs with such astounding skill. Great familiar rhythms that take me back to Jr high. Keep it up, guys. Thank you for existing!
A lot of fun, all the bands played off of each other and I was smiling and crying it was so good
It was a great show, except for the sound wasn't great. I had a hard time hearing the lyrics, and Les Claypool's bass sounded distorted at times. Also, I wish I could have seen the musicians on stage a little better.
