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.
Incredible performance with the sound and visuals was one of the best Prinus concerts I’ve been too
No one quite hits the mark like Primus and they continue to hit it out of the park!
Such a great show. The venue was very nice and people were allowed to go outside for fresh air or a smoke. The band played some great tunes and the sound was perfect. Can’t wait until They return again.
Awesome show! Primus got the place rocking! The Rush songs they did were right on!
I loved it!!! It was the best concert I ever went to!!
They put on an unbelievable show at both riverside and Las Vegas. Les, Larry, and Tim are the freakin best definitely will be buying the next vip ticket that comes my way, and who knows maybe more than one?? Definitely was inspired and blasted away!
It was awesome to receive band like Primus in such a small venue would like to see more big-time bands play smaller places like this
This was a great smaller venue to see a concert at. There was lots of free parking close by. The staff at the venue were super nice and friendly and everything was organized well. Concert was fantastic. Great sound quality. Awesome band! Really great experience.
Although I find the old riverside municipal auditorium still a great place to see a show. Unfortunately the sound was horrible. Everything was like in the mud no articulation of the difference between the instruments and voice. Lighting was horrible. No front light at all could not see the band members or what they were doing.
Les Claypool and Primus are so freaking badass. Thanhs for coming to RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA again!!!🎶🤠🎸🤘🦫🎶
Primus is still as great as ever live. This tour was amazing! Primus played many deep tracks, jammed the songs out and their rendition of the 'Farewell to Kings' album was spot on. The drum kit Herb played and the guitars and bass guitars Ler and Les played was a nice added touch. They were the same guitars Neil, Alex and Geddy used in 1977. Overall it was a fantastic show!
Wonderful venue. I honestly don’t think there is a ‘bad’ seat here! Primes was amazing as usual!!! Perfect restart to the concert season!!
my favorite band of all time once again delivers a mind blowing performance...
I'll be scoping out other shows at the San Jose Civic. I love the location and size of the venue. The Black Angels were exciting to watch. I love the Primus Bay Area crowd. Primus was fantastic.
Very fun enjoyable show. A few more beer and food options would be nice. Also the vocals weren’t audible enough. Music sounded great. Not sure if that’s the band sound man’s fault or the venue. The extra $18+ per ticket seems rude.
Great show. Very nice venue,clean bathrooms. The sound system was great. The crowd was pumped up but not crazy rowdy. Had a great time
The performance by Primus was world-class. The venue is terrific, especially the food and beverage staff. The security at the door are excellent as well. I would rate all of these 5 stars. However, the "security" in the performance hall have a habit of flashing blinding light directly into the audience's eyes, including for the side of stage which, one, distracts from the performance and, two, makes it unavoidable that it will be seen by audience members since they will all be looking towards the stage. Blinding the audience with bright lights can be a safety hazard and a health hazard for those with eye conditions. Please develop performance hall security protocols and procedures that are in accordance with health and safety standards. In the venue fails to do so, then a next may be to examine what federal, state and/or county regulations exist regards the use of bright lights in concert hall during performance and how and if these regulations are enforced.
My only gripe was that the details to the VIP package were extremely vague throughout the whole process. I was under the impression that the VIP package included guaranteed seats in the first 15 rows , instead it was early access and some cool swag. Had I known, idve paid for GA . Primus played an awesome show however
Loved the show they rocked. myself and my wife were just soooooooooo looking forward to hearing MUD but they never played it, even after others in the crowd were chanting it as well.
Can you ask for anything more than Primus playing Rush? I’m not sure there are many other bands in the world that could do justice to Rush playing Farewell of Kings and Primus is definitely one of them. Hearing Primus songs as well is icing on the cake! Second time I saw a show on this tour and it was worth every penny!
