I'll never forget the night they opened for Rush in '92 at the Seattle Coliseum. I was sort of familiar with Primus as most of my friends were diehards, but that night I 'got' them in their totality. Clearly, Primus was not just another opener of tours, as I suppose Rush once was to Kiss. Primus was a group cut from the same cloth. One highlight which stands out was when they for no particular reason decided to cover 'Master Of Puppets'.
@RoarOfWolverine2 жыл бұрын
@@DrMackSplackem That reminds me of when my wife and I went to see Rush for the Roll The Bones tour and Primus was the opening act. That was probably around 1992, now that you mention it. Now I’m older than you and had been following Rush as my favorite band since 1976, so I wasn’t familiar with Primus at all, I was there to see Rush mainly. There were a group of teens that were sitting behind us all wearing Primus T- shirts,so they must have been huge Primus fans, which is cool, except the idiots got up and left the arena right after Primus was done!!? They certainly missed a great show. I can’t imagine that even if I wasn’t familiar with the opening act, I’d stay just to get my ticket price worth. I mean Primus is good and all that, but we’re talking about the holy trinity of prog/rock here. Damn what a bunch of knuckleheads. I have wondered since then if any of those kids became more familiar with Rush and regret now walking out on the best part of the show?
@DrMackSplackem2 жыл бұрын
@@RoarOfWolverine Yeah that was the album and my second Rush tour. You have to remember that those kids were probably as rabid about Primus as we were about Rush, which they probably hadn't had much exposure to (and who knows, they may have had a curfew or something). Also, there are some bands that I would laugh about from MTV or whatever, only to be totally blown away by their live act. So in that sense, those kids were missing something by leaving early all right, but they might not have been ready for it just yet. It's nice to see that a band which was that good and that weird was also persistent enough to become widely accepted. It's actually kind of hip to be into Rush now, and you don't even have to play an instrument.

@MrRioting2 жыл бұрын
WOW. For those of you that don't remember how these 3 got together? Les and Larry were interviewing drummers after letting Curveball go, (who's floor I was crashing on at the time, thanks, Curveball, you got me through a tough time financially! 🙂) Tim Alexander came along and they began jamming Rush songs, which coincidently, they all knew note for note. I've been trying to learn how to play Rush songs on drums since I first started trying to play drums, learning every note on Moving Pictures.... or TRYING anyway...(that's how OLD I am, Moving Pictures had just come out. A masterpiece in production at the time and STILL, and an inspiration for me to become an audio engineer, and yes, I engineered Primus' first 2 tours and was their live guy for 3.5 years.) For anybody who has also tried, you know, it's HARD!!!!! So for these three to get through the entire 2112 album, UNREHEARSED, NOTE FOR NOTE together, was an amazing feat, and Les looked at Larry and said something to the effect of "This is the guy" though I wasn't there for that moment. The rest as ya'll know, was history. So for me, just now seeing this warms my heart. Full circle. If ANYone could fill the shoes of Neil Peart so Rush could go back out and do a tour, Tim Alexander is unquestionably the ONE guy who could. (hint hint if anybody in either camp is listening... I'm sure it's been suggested). Then Tim could play in both bands on the tour! Make all of us really happy, like Ecstatic! Kudos of course to Les and Larry also, I've been trying to learn how to play that song on guitar for about 30 years unsuccessfully, and bass too. Maybe because I'm a drummer, and not even a good one at that!! Lol. @ Headband Harvest: I believe it's Rancho Relaxo. I had the privilege of fishing that pond with Les once, Thanks Les! Also had the privilege of fishing Yellowstone with them boys also! Caught a huge rainbow in the Gallatin River just north of West Yellowstone after a night with the Green Ranger. Larry will know what I'm talking about. That night, we almost started the Yellowstone Fire #2 when our campfire got out of hand suddenly, spreading quickly into the grass. The water bucket in camp had holes in it and made it extremely difficult to extinguish! Leroy, (drum tech) and I carried the bucket back and forth from the river, about 20 yards away, as fast as we could before the water ran out the bottom and threw it on the flames until we were exhausted, actually floating the burning logs in the fire, and they still wouldn't go out! We finally picked them up and threw them in the river, and they tumbled down the Gallatin STILL BURNING as we watched in horror! WOW. Them were the days.... Now I do sound for reggae festivals... 🙂 Wish I would have known about this tour!

Very good guys. Rush (A farewell to kings) with Max Webster (High class in borrowed shoes) was one of my favourite Toronto concerts CNE August 23, 1977. This song also got me through grade 12 poetry, it was the poem Ode to Kubla Khan along with numerous other Rush classics. Cheers

Kudos to Primus for playing this album on tour. Amazingly accurate musically. For anyone who has not seen the Rush cover band Lotus Land please do. They are awesome also.

My first time hearing this even though I've been a Primus fan for a long time. Now I'm pretty sure that the Primus music I've always liked is just the tip of the iceberg, and it goes a lot deeper than I imagined. Just really spectacular music.
