Primus - live at Red Rocks Webcast - August 12th 2010 (Full Show)

[@jeremybennett5442]

dropped some blotter when I saw them with tool earlier this year...one of the best experiences I've ever had

[@arianaz4]

TOOL at Red Rocks for back-to-back shows in June 2010 were phenomenal. Right up there with the 1998 Ænema tour & the Lateralus tour in 2001. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@matthewkipila885]

That's the only way to see primus

[@randyzaucha8745]

With Tool? OMG...might be overload?

[@ymmit7459]

Caught primus twice on tribute to kings tour, Tool in March Columbus Ohio. Seller last year for me concert wise!!

[@davidchrist1037]

Primus as with TOOL, both fantastic and Worth every dollar to see live. Red Rocks Is #1 venue in the country.

[@brianmonahan6627]

+Shoogo Golden Boy is one of Primus' best creations... In fact, I have a new appreciation for The Brown Album than I did 19 years ago, and even then I appreciated and dug it hard.

[@shoogsxd]

+Brian Monahan Haha, yea. And this live version of that track is really great

Otterstrøm aww

[@jasonschrantz342]

2010 was an amazing summer at red rocks. we had rush twice, tool twice, and primus all in a 2 month span.

[@laurenelizabeth7833]

Damn dude ..... I bet that was awesome

[@schelcidbiel]

Woah my friend that's cool

[@tommypizzza]

Was awesome for the people able to get Tool tickets. I swear, scoring tickets to Tool is like catching a leprechaun sometimes.

[@canuckian79]

It's been about 3-4 weeks that I've discovered this vid. Out of the 90k+ views, I must be responsible for at least 1k. I cannot stop listening to this goddamn show, in the morning, in the car going to work, at work, on the way home and at home. Primus deserves FAR more recognition than they've been getting over the last 25 years. Keep ripping that bass Les...we stand back in total awe... P.S. Jay Lane is a fucking boss.

[@beganny]

still going?

[@canuckian79]

@@begannyYep! Now's he's on tour with Flying Frog Brigade and Sean Lennon (2023). Cheers!

[@MissLadyMaire]

It is impossible for me to not watch or listen to the entire show every time i open this. And i watch it a lot! Was lucky to stream it live the first nite. Thanks!

[@DelDuio]

Absolutely, he's the #1 reason why I picked up a bass almost 22 years ago. I had no idea a bass could be played like that. He's a master, 100%

[@sfletcher75]

Was at this show. Visiting my best friend Brian Haines who was living in Fort Collins at the time. We drove up to Red Rocks for the show. Missed The Dead Kenny G's and sat through Gogal Bordello who were decent. Primus on the other hand...were the TIGHTEST band I've ever witnessed live. And, I've seen a ton of live music! Absolutely amazing!!! The venue was also just incredible...It was spectacular being inside of all the Red Rock beauty...I'll never forget the show or the venue.

[@AmateurRecords]

Primus, Primus.... Man They Rock!!! Saw 3 Primus shows so far, all at the same venue, with all 3 different drummers in 3 differents decades. 1999,2002,2011.

[@worldbfree47]

Jayski is awesome on the drum kit here. He makes that hi hat wish that it had never been born. I also like the tuning on the drums themselves.

[@jamessanderson4177]

This is possibly the best live performance I've ever seen! Golden Boy sounds amazing.. Loving the covers too. Primus need to release a new live DVD.

[@johnnyperona7422]

The ? is "Over the Electric Grapevine." It's on the Tales from the Punchbowl record. Thanks for providing the rest of the times to find songs! Greatly appreciated.

[@johnbrown2169]

Les is more.

[@hectorleon6622]

more than a month ago i saw primus for the first time in mexico city, three shows and i cant stop watching these videos

[@johns1159]

Holy shit! This is 12 years ago. And I've never heard such an incredible bass solo / drum accompaniment like on Tommy the Cat ever!

[@brainphreak]

Ill be seeing them on the 30th I think, awesome 3d show! Super excited for the 3d'ness!

[@Randy7240]

I actually was at this show and the third time seeing Primus at Red Rocks. Always freakin epic!

[@03121970able]

What a great performance Les!!

[@TsvetanTsakov]

Primus are soo cool, that's insane bass play!

[@CalebBlock]

this show was so worth the ticket I bought! great to be able to relive it thanks for the upload Brainphreak

[@CYGNUSnr]

That's a combo of awesomeness! Les Claypool playing Pink Floyd looking like a rock version of Mr. White with Slash's hat! Cool in all levels!

[@realityrealtor7047]

that's obviously not slash, that's tommy the cat in the hat

[@MrToonfish]

2002 drummer of the year... Jay Lane, it's not for nothing that 10 years after he's still on the best drummer with Tim Herb Alexander. It was good to see Primus with that lineup in Brussels this year. Would like to see the 3D show.

[@adrianarose3556]

I simply cannot wait to witness them at Red rocks in April!!!!!!!!!!

[@mastodon0124]

Les, you are a bass GOD

[@MrGmanDan]

Les is a Bass Beast Extraordinaire! Everything he does is absolutely incredible! PRIMUS ROCKS!!

[@brainphreak]

haha yeah I want to spend the New Years with my family so gotta do the concert the day before. I went last year and saw them with the Residents too, was awesome.

Sad they didn’t do Mr.Krinkle

[@temporarytree1642]

The one after Jerry was a racecar driver was over the electric grapevine

[@Gunmoku]

That is Eugene Hütz from Gogol Bordello, the majority of his band is also on stage as well. They're also an amazing act as well, highly recommended.

[@Gunmoku]

Damn right Jay Lane's awesome. He's one of the better alternative drummers out there. The other drummers that've been with Primus over the years, Tim "Herb" Alexander and Brian "Brain" Mantia, were both extremely good, but Jay brings that little extra touch to Primus' sound that keeps them different from all the other alt-rock bands out there. His drumming on Green Naugahyde is second to none.

[@michaelmier9512]

One of my all-time favorite bands, Primus plays to the edge of reason -- then takes it a bit farther!

[@VioletDeliriums]

Thanks...I could not remember it when I made the list! So long since I'd heard it.

[@vernier1000]

Amazing bass solo on groundhog day !! Thanks

[@FanOfBodom]

Saw Primus on this tour, it was awesome.

[@DaveTheTuberx]

Les is a musical genus. Although many of his songs have simplistic lyrics, the musical talent portrayed in them is prodigious in its own right. NOBODY has a sound like Primus, and I really don't think there's anybody else out there that could pull it off as well as these guys.

[@SavageTilley]

yes yes it is and it's wonderful!!!!

[@stanphries]

Damn, what a show!

[@SuperLocalsearch]

saw les minus primus at the anchor inn...it was insanely good, he's a true virtuoso and maestro

[@chessboxing2]

ive always loved primus.

[@randydelgado4548]

SAW PRIMUS!!! WHEN THEY OPEN UP FOR RUSH!!! DID NOT UNDERSTAND AT THE TIME!!! NEVER NEW ABOUT THEM!!! RUSH IS MY ALL TIME NUMBER ONE BAND!!! WENT HOME AFTER !!! DROP A FEW MORE AN ROAD MY BIKE!!! WOW!!! PRIMUS!!! ROCKS!!! BRIGATINE66

Damn, Red Rocks sounds amazing.

thank you for the awesome show. i keep coming back. it's pudding time children!!!!

[@CalebBlock]

this was a great show to be at. first primus experience

[@ivansloe]

And a Tom Waits cover... I am speechless. Every time I hear this band I get more and more respect for them - truly individual music.

[@xtheunknown4662]

Over the Falls is Awesome 😮

[@sconeofark]

I missed this show. So I took eleven bong hits, and watched this.

[@DrBoneright]

Les on the whammy bar at around 3:59 during Pudding Time, is insane. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

[@derfdoow195]

THAT WAS EFFIN" EPIC!!! those dudes still have it!

[@MrDuneedon]

Don't forget their studio EP, "Miscellaneous Debris," released way back when...which might have contained their first released Floyd cover ever? Kick ass version of Floyd's "Have A Cigar" on there, among cover songs from other artists, including Peter Gabriel's "Intruder."

[@Stev0BabaGhanoush]

Here Come the Bastards, in all of it's 5/4 glory.

[@brainphreak]

They have released multiple Floyd covers before, check out the les claypools flying frog brigade. "The band released two live recordings in 2001, Live Frogs Set 1 and Live Frogs Set 2. Set 1 is a mix of covers and originals, including "Thela Hun Ginjeet" (King Crimson) and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (Pink Floyd). Set 2 is a live cover of the entire Pink Floyd album, Animals. "

[@Noblesavage77]

They never disappoint.... Until it over🔥🤘

[@shaunware1390]

True originals, Great Stuff!!!!

[@Kadail1]

Seeing them on the Dec 31st New Year Show. Websites says more news to come, I hope Gogol Bordello show's up or someone else to ring in the New Year!.

[@georgdettmer62]

Awesome-that Guys back together-Awesome

[@VioletDeliriums]

Yes! I hadn't heard the song since the 1980s and I couldn't remember the name! Thanks!

[@smegmabill]

amazing cover,yeah. they released have a cigar on a single in the 90s also. (miscellaneous debris)

[@sconeofark]

Primus is the most beautiful misapplication of technology ever achieved

[@SalfordMartin]

That Groundhogs day just blew me away!!!!! and im still pissed at myself for not knowing this vid existed until now!! call myself a Primus fan? ;-D

[@txag95]

Don't forget Primus' Miscellaneous Debris EP. It's all covers and includes a Floyd cover (Have A Cigar) on there as well.

[@VikingVertigo]

Big in Japan featuring Gogol Bordelo (Original by Tom Waits from the album Mule Variations).

[@VitalemRecords]

Oh, why couldn't this video not have been streeeeetched??

[@canuckian79]

Jay is nothing short of spectacular in this particular performance. He really gives Primus a new range to work with in my opinion. Jilly's On Smack is proof. One of the most original songs I've heard in a while. watch?v=W7OW5cmmwyQ

[@fatfender48]

Great great. Just great.

[@punkfan97]

this is the 1st time i've gotten a good look at les's set up i'd get lost with that many pedals hell i'd to get a few effects like he's got

[@Boofmauler]

this golden boy is legendary

[@rachelslaughter4155]

It would be nuts if Les, Ryan bass from mudvayne, and flea play together. That I would be like a spice of heaven to me

[@eatbliss]

These gentlemen are soon to be, if not already, an iconic symbol of modern American folk music. They are no less a voice to their generation than Woody Guthrie, or Bob Dylan were to theirs. May the universal supreme one always bless and show favor on Primus, F4or itD izz, way n f4evr! Love Out Loud lol lol lol

I have seen stp at red rocks way back when

[@TOOLnPRIMUS]

THANK YOU!!!

[@brainphreak]

it is a song by Danny Elfman which was used in the movie "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"

[@chuckfarley5415]

This version of Groundhogs Day should be broadcast throughout the universe for all beings spritual and living to behold ....

[@chuckamuck06]

OMG 47:00 Gogol Bordello and Primus playing Tom Waits. My life has been made complete.

[@brainphreak]

Check out the album "Larry LaLondes Zappa Picks" to hear some picked by the man in Primus himself! :) There are so many albums you must dig to find the funk influenced ones, but Zappa starting in the 70's has some hefty funk!

[@TimElfring]

Gotta love Les's top hat!

[@clippers334]

Just........wow

[@jeffreysteakin2623]

love love love

[@Badboyrune2k]

Just when you think the awesome has reached the absolute limit Gogol Bordello walks up on stage with Primus.

[@tommypizzza]

Let's not forget Gogol Bordello opened for Primus, which was a whole nother show of its own. Not bad for $50

[@brettchapman2928]

This is real talent!!

[@shellylucas7656]

I love Primus, and this concert was spectacular. I know we all get older, but seeing Claypool wearing khaki pants kind of breaks my heart :)

wow i loved the tom waits come Big in japan...

[@11rfpro]

Oh hell yes Golden Boy!!!

[@frizzlefry420oh]

Yes they came out with a new album in 2011. Green Naugahyde. Despite what the critics say, I think its a pretty kick ass album.

They played with the Residents!? I bet that was amazing..

Nobody plays bass like that! Les, Billy Sheehan, Gene Simmons, and Paul McCartney are my favs. I know Gene is not that great, but he inspired me to play in the first place.
