Primus Tickets

Let me start off by stating that Primus is my favorite band. I have seen them over 20 times in the last 18 years, and Les in some other capacity countless other times, so I would say that I set the bar high when it comes to Primus. That said, they never disappoint, but I would rate the show in Cleveland as an average Primus show. There was a equipment malfunction with Les' bass during "Jerry" which is completely out of his control and I can forgive, but you couple that with a rare mistake by Les that caused him to have to restart "Mrs. Blaileen" and the mere 90 min. set, and your left with a very average show, especially for those of us diehards that paid full ticket price. I expected a little more after a 6 year absence in Cleveland. I will say that the addition, or re-addition if you will, of new/old drummer Jay Lane seemed to be a great fit. The band seemed to have great chemistry and did not skip a beat, no pun intended, with Jay on the kit and without Tim Alexanders presence. It was great to hear songs from the Brown album which I hadn't heard live in over a decade, but I would have loved to have heard something from Antipop in which there was none. Ler (Larry Lalonde) seemed to be engaged a lot more which sometimes tends to be lacking at Primus shows, so that was an added plus. Overall, I would again call the show average on my Primus scale, only because I have seen many a great show from them and I am probably a tough of a critic. At least they didn't see a Michael Moore film before playing this time, so their mood seemed to be pretty positive. :) I would love to hear some new material sometime soon....Please!!! Yes I am begging. :) It was great to see them again, and I hope there isn't another 6 year hiatus for Cleveland.

Primus was okay. I guess when you pay $49.00 GA for tickets to see Primus one would think they would at least play 'My Name Is Mud'. Also, when the show ended they just left. No "thanks for coming out to the show", or anything. Gogol Bordello's music made me think 'Borat' was going to come on stage at anytime and pick up an instrument.

GREAT show! The Dead Kenny G's were a surprisingly entertaining group. Very off the wall and original jazz stylings with a bit of a hard edge. Gogol Bordello was absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best live acts I've ever seen. The audience had a lot of Primus fans, since they were headlining, and I got the feeling that the people that knew much or anything about Gogol were in the minority. Throughout the course of their electrifying set, Gogol had won over the entire crowd, whipping them into a frenzy of good-natured hell raising. The atmosphere they created is like no other live act I've seen. Primus was good. They are of course, incredibly talented and have a huge catalog from which they pulled some of their more obscure songs, which was cool. However, the energy of the crowd was so high after Gogol Bordello that I wonder if screeching to a halt with slow, heavy songs and 10 minutes of improv (in almost every song) was the way to go. Primus delivered virtuosity as expected, and Les has a great rapport with the audience, but it was not as much of a fun atmosphere once they began to play. Overall, an amazing night, and an amazing show. I would recommend this to anyone.

Right up in front ... Deaf from standing near speakers... Throat hurts from screaming... Best show i seen in along time. Lost my over priced t-shirt in the pit. Awesome!!!

A+A+A+A+A+A+, primus killed it and it was in Brooklyn. amazing venue. amazing beer

The Dead Kenny G's opened the show with a twenty minute set of jazz and punk from what appeared to be a pretty talented trio of musicians. Great saxophone player, the drummer tackled xylophone and drums at the same time and good bass player holding it together. Gorgol Bordello played an hour long set of energetic gypsy punk and their fans loved them. I am unfamiliar with their music, but I left impressed with talent and charisma. Primus came on after 8, opening with "Pudding Time" followed by "Here Come the Bastards". The set was very strong with songs like "Harold of the Rocks", "American Life", "Jerry was a Racecar Driver", "Pressman". "Southbound Pachyderm" was awesome as was "Over the Electric Grapevine". Sadly, no "My Name is Mud", but when they finished their encores with "Tommy the Cat", I couldn't say I felt cheated. Beautiful outdoor venue, saw Faith No More there at the beginning of the month and this was another great show. Look forward to more concerts in this performance space.

seen many, many rock/metal shows over the years including some of the best like Tool and Floyd but this show and venue blew anything ive ever seen out of the water. life changing show. SHOW HIGH FOR @ DAYS+ AFTER!!!!!

This whole show was pretty awesome, as evidenced by the massive crowd stretching all the way back to the water. The venue was pretty cool but I wish the beer tent hadn't been so far back because I wasn't going to risk losing my prime spot for a beer or water. The bands were amazing and Primus is still is churning out pure greatness. It was my first time seeing Les Claypool and I'm hooked.

I haven't seen Primus for years prior to this event so I was excited to get tickets. They put on a solid performance of new material as well as several classics that I was hopping to hear. Would have wished for better seating options at the venue to relax and enjoy listening to them jam. Gogol Bordello kicked butt! It was hot and sweaty and lots of jumping fun. They sounded good for an outdoor venue and the crowd enjoyed their energy. I wish the set times were adjusted a little later across the board. The entire show was over and everyone was forced out of the park before 11pm. Must have been rules of the amphitheater. All said, a fun night.

Primus was everything I had hoped them to be-tight, focused, fun, driving, and technically amazing. Gogul Bordello was very repetitive, and consequently tediousl Essentially they played one song, and played it over and over with minor variations. It was like to going to a polka concert. And, they were allowed to play way too long.

I had such a good time at this show, that I was actually a little depressed for a couple days afterwards. I doubt I'll see another show this good until I see these guys again.

The performances were good but the show started way too early and ended way too early. The layout of the venue is not very good.

Fun show. Awesome venue. Perfect weather with amazing an amazing NYC skyline behind us. Primus sounded fantastic. They opened with Pudding Time and closed with Tommy the Cat, both of which were great but I thought the set list could have been a little better overall.

Great music, great venue, great weather, and great company. Everything was excellent, couldn't have asked for more!

Primus are a must see! Amazing show and setlist. The williamsburg waterfront was an ok venue. Claypool puts on a show. His stage banther is funny. When Claypool was talking about the Manhattan skyline, someone threw a shirt on stage. Claypool replied with, "I don't want your dirty F*%*ing laundry." Great!

Great show down in Brooklyn. Primus was terrific. Gogol was good too.

I was actually there for Gogol Bordello but even though I was late for the concert and only caught 30 minutes of them, I still enjoyed it! I didn't know Primus but they did put up a good show. The crowd was so fun and interesting too. I'd definitely go to any one of them's concert in the future.

AMAZINGGGG! The band hasn't lost their touch! They were dead on!

could have been better. ended too early. primus didn't play long enough and other bands kinda sucked.

Primus is good and i cant say that i dont like them, but gogol and primus are two totally different musical styles and probably shouldnt have been billed together. regardless i was happy i got to see gogol, they effing rocked as usual and never dissapoint. everyone was jumping during gogol, barely anyone was during primus.
