Primus Live in 4K FULL CONCERT at Yaamava 2024: Les Claypool's Legendary Bass Performance

[@tomg529]

Primus isn't just about Les, Tim and Larry are very much a big part of this band

[@LiveRockMusic]

I should have given them more love

[@jarodeddy859]

No Ler, no Primus. Know Ler, know Primus.

[@matthewmccalister5594]

Right! I can't believe that is how he chose to introduce Primus... What a fucking insult to the other people that create the Primus sound. no Les no Primus. No Tim no Primus. No Larry no Primus....

[@QuiteTheGentleman]

@@matthewmccalister5594 well.. i agree tim is the most primusey of the 3 primus drummers, but you can't discount jay lane and brain to that degree

[@joshuasmith-rr2bb]

No shit

[@kingkillah101]

I met Tim backstage at the first Bonaroo. We were both watching Bucket of Bernie Brains, and I boldly leaned over to him and said "you can drum circles around this guy." He looked at me with a "young man" gaze, and said "that isn't what this is all about." I learned a lesson there, that music isn't about competition. It's about respecting the music and holding each other up. I was young and felt like a dope. Thanks for the kindness, Tim.

[@scottarchibaldmusic]

Tim is a great drummer , but you should check some of Brain's other projects and drum solos. I'd say they are equal talents. .. Different styles.

[@kingkillah101]

@@scottarchibaldmusic that wasn't the point but thanks. Of course Brain is a beast 😁

[@richardcrompton6009]

I get what you are saying ? Or not saying … i love Tim much more … but maybe that’s because of my experience rather than their talent /timeline. I just remember listening to a live bootleg in my borrowed mini metro car driving around country lanes in the uk trying to impress my girlfriend ….Tim smashed it .

[@kingkillah101]

@@richardcrompton6009 I asked him at the time (01?) why he'd left Primus...he just kind of shrugged and said "Blue Man Group" 😂🥁🔥

[@Osirisxoffline47]

yeah i didnt know they were coming to my city next friday on the 9th ... i bought tickets last nighy when i figured it out

[@dangavel1283]

wish they would come back to australia.

[@Bearlyontime]

My name is Mud is 1st song I ever heard by Primus decades ago and I was blown away by his bass lines. The whole band is solid 👍🏾 Thanks for this!

[@LiveRockMusic]

THICK bass

[@Suuko123]

Phenomenal setlist! They even played Welcome to this World, my favorite :o ty for recording this in such amazing quality!

[@LiveRockMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JonathanWillow-zz7rb]

They hardly played Welcome to This World.

[@EricJh21690]

My first concert was Primus at the Pavilion in Boston back in 2004 when I was 14. Went with my dad...was only them and they played for around 3ish hours. Incredible show...blows my mind how it's been 20 years. I need to catch em live again before they decide to hang it up.

[@EricJh21690]

Also they played Frizzle Fry from front to back that show/tour..plus many other songs and of course an amazing drum solo from Herb etc.

[@buncle1020]

It’s awesome to hear them playing Fats for the first time in a while. Same can be said with Antipop, dusting off old gems is a beauty

[@LiveRockMusic]

I love seeing those songs!

[@AllegedGroovemusic]

Fats literally blew my mind listening live. Could not believe those sounds we're coming from a bass. If there's a better bassist on this planet I need to know their name.

[@Hodge729]

What song is fats?

[@buncle1020]

@@Hodge729 “My Friend Fats” come on man

[@gordonfreeman2470]

Wow, unbelievable... Les is still awesome and Larry since Possessed! Drummer was great, too! Wish they wld have played Jerry was a racecar driver though... great gig!

[@LiveRockMusic]

I was hoping for that too

[@clowncentral]

drummer was great too....ha ha

I was at this show! It was my 91st time seeing Primus.

[@DaveWossum]

It was 6th and two nights in a row.

[@ClaytonBigsby1776]

@DaveWossum That's rad! I slowed down going to shows after the "Plandemic" I'm looking forward to more Primus shows in the near future & officially see them 100 times! The best are their NYE shows in Bay Area.

[@LiveRockMusic]

You are a legend

[@LiveRockMusic]

Do it!

[@schelcidbiel]

​@@ClaytonBigsby1776 listen to their newest ep bud they think people like you are stupid

[@matclairoux]

In Montreal, "the show will begin 2 min" and cartoons started on a screen. That's when i started crowd surfing 1 min45 straight ending when they got on stage. Small place, packed crowd, priceless.

[@slobash33]

Thanks for sharing mate. I've loved Primus for well over 30 years, I believe they've only been down here to NZ twice and I was too young to see them in 94. Caught them at Big Day Out in 2014. Would love to see them do a headline gig here again :(. Such an amazing band, the three of them are incredible.

[@LiveRockMusic]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshthomas2536]

I'm only 27 and from Australia so I missed alot of their live stuff from back in the day. But if they ever come over here again I'll be following them to each city

[@adityatyagi4009]

Thanks for sharing. I believe Primus is the most unique band in all of rock history. I'll be seeing them soon and can't wait!

[@LiveRockMusic]

Nothing like them

[@tjjohn6310]

I put Primus next to Tool whip are also very creative! 😊

[@andrewryanrhea]

Thanks for the upload! Excited for Madison, WI tomorrow.

[@brandonduncan8859]

First of all, killer setlist. I've seen Primus roughly 13 times and never saw anti-pop live! I did get the fortune to see welcome to this world though. But I'm really surprised they only played out and a half. Anyways, great video thanks for sharing.

[@gwoody4003]

I have heard better "My friend Fats" but that one kinda takes the cake for most psychedelic. I imagine even more so in person. Some of the new effects Les been using are face melting. The Mr Krinkle clowning was top notch as well. I get a weird tingle/panic from Seas of Cheese cus I was straight losing my mind one time, and I was coming back from the bathroom while they were playing it, and felt like the floor was swaying and everyone there had an evil grin and all looked the same, I couldn't find my crew.... idk it was enough to scar me in a good way 😂😂😂

[@LiveRockMusic]

Seas of cheese! Thats my brain

[@TenTenTamten]

The way bass, guitar and drums compliment each other is just perfect in that band

[@marylang4172]

Saw them 3 nights ago at Marymore park, Redmond, WA. Amazing!

[@LiveRockMusic]

Nice! How long did they play for?

[@NickBestStrongman]

Saw that tour in Jan 91 at the SF Auditorium. Been a Primus fan ever since!

[@robertnewman4072]

I have not seen the Primus since 96,when they opened for Rush presto,great to see they are still at it

[@ProffAndy]

They opened for Rush on the Roll The Bones Tour in 92.

[@randyhenderson6166]

Yeah, Presto tour was 89-90

[@sgbtierney]

Saw them in Maine last week. Cygnus X-1 was so great live

[@darrenckern]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing!! I LOVE the Jane's t-shirt! And I agree about the Primus shirt you got being super cool. You and I must be the same age, I saw Primus in concert multiple times in the early to mid 90s. Someone once hit Les with a shoe during a show and he stopped playing right in the middle of the song, I thought he was going to end the show. He said in "voice" as if it was part of the song (and I guess it was), "to youuu who threww the shoe... you sir, are an asshole!" And then boom, right back into the song like they hadn't missed a beat. One of my favorite live bands ever. I know I'm a couple months late to the party, but I see some folks got fired up in the comments about you not giving the other guys enough love, and I agree that they are super critical to the sound. As a guitarist, I have always believed Ler is super underrated, one of the most unique players I have ever heard. His approach to the guitar in the context of this band is brilliant. But hey, simmer down, young fellers! It wasn't an intentional slight, I'm sure. And if it was, I'm sure he's sorry. 🙂

[@LiveRockMusic]

Thanks Darren. It wasn't intentional! Great story

[@jobzagudn]

One of the best gigs I ever saw was these lads . Thank you so much for inspiring me and being the soundtrack to my trippy 20s primus ❤

Love their most powerful and reverent version of Cygnus X-1. I saw Rush perform it on their Hemispheres tour and this is high praise from Les.

[@craiglindholm6338]

Thanks for uploading! This was my forth or fifth primus show while my last one was front row Hollywood Sessanta! I was fifth row dead center at this show and I Think I’ve met you prior to the show starting at the food court! I was the Asian kid and I remember hearing someone talking about seeing them with the Pixies/Jane’s Addiction! It was nice seeing ya if it was you and I agree! The front row crowd sucked and it was super short but at least I stood up the entire show! Got one more stop at Oregon on my actual birthday so hoping it’ll make it up for it! Thanks for the high quality upload!

[@ScottByrnesMindFindMusic]

I beat you by a few months. My 1st time seeing Primus was August 1990 in Boston they were opening up for 24- 7 Spyz. Additionally this was a double bill with Coheed and Cambria so that is why it’s short typically will do two hour show or they have whenever it’s not a bill. And “An Evening With” you get 2 and half + hours There you have it! Last night was 87th time seeing PRIMUS!!!

[@THVT_KDD]

I was here ! 1st time seeing primus ! The intro was awesome ! And my name is mud was heavy !

When I was about 12 or 13 I first heard Primus in a car with my brother and his friends, the driver put on Frizzle Fry and Too many Puppies started playing, I had never heard such heavy madness. Later I was showing my friend from school Primus for his first time and he accused them of ripping off Korn with the ice bell intro. I had to prove to him that it's the other way around as Frizzle Fry was out years before Korn put out their record.

I've loved Primus since the early days, huge fan of Les. Even though the satirical nature behind the songs is integral to the band, I've always wondered, what would they have been like with a really good vocalist, and more semi personal type lyrics.. Not to diss anything Les has done, he's awesome. But a vocalist as great as Les is on bass, Ler on guitar, and Tim and Head on drums. They might have been an entirely different kind of amazing. Anyways, awesome recording! Primus sucks!

His bass tone was extra bright for this show....🙃

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

I wonder what his bass techs think.. It sounds like he plays with a really low action and very strait neck just from the amount of clack and buz he gets when he smacks the strings some.. Its a very interesting raspy sound sometimes..
