Why see Primus?
Their Name is Primus!
The ever-undefinable Primus are composed of bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry "Ler" LaLonde, and drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander, Primus has been pushing boundaries for decades. The band started as an underground appearance in San Francisco and as their fanbase grew rapidly, so did they. Releasing platinum and gold albums, and tracks like 'My Name is Mud', 'Jerry Was a Race Car Driver' and 'John the Fisherman', Primus cemented themselves in the genre and have gone on to tour with some of the biggest names in rock.

OUTSTANDING!!!
My favorite Rush album is A Farewell To Kings, and I have always wanted to see Primus. It was supposed to be outside by the river but it was too cold, so they moved it into the Five.

A Tribute to Kings tour featured a set of Primus originals which were fantastic & A Farewell To Kings album by Rush. A big screen of synchronized video magic played with the music delivering the complete experience! Though Primus is not Rush - they did a very good rendition of the album which all in attendance thoroughly enjoyed. I for one (A Primus concert virgin) - can't wait for my next Primus Show! ...
