Primus Southbound Pachyderm Live (Epic Version)

This was taken from The Wiltern in Los Angeles on 10/17/2003 during the Tour De Fromage. Les was wearing his long nose clown mask and cowboy hat during this performance. While performing he seemed to be in a trance. I like to think that his outfit inspired this over the top performance .

A wizard is never mistaken, nor he sings wrong lines. He plays exactly what he wants.

[@rwl1919]

The man is clearly a wizard.

Ralph TheWonderLlama best comment ever

[@ChrisBarnette-zk8iy]

Greatest drum fill ever and it's at the start. What a song, what a band..

[@stevenswapp4768]

Hell yes! That IS, hands down, my favorite drum fill ever to exist

[@fezziemin]

:15 "AWWW SHIT" on the left side

[@fadiayat5372]

I've been playing drums on and off since I was 14 years old. My first two influences were Rush and Primus. I've been in a band for over 15 years until recently. I've not picked up a pair of sticks since valentines day 2016 (when I found out I got booted) . . . Let me just say, that listening to Primus drum licks is the best motivation for a depressed drummer without a band.

[@banklikefrankwhite1]

Fadi Ayat I know the comment is old, but I'm curious. How have things gone since your comment? I know what it's like to get the boot. Especially if it has nothing to do with whether you're good enough or not I hope you grew and got past it, maybe even used it as motivation to get another project going

[@nuke97]

From one musician to another.....Never stop playing! I feel you though and can relate.

[@CartoonKidOLLY]

Barrel McDerpinbarrel where the fuck are you from??? That sounds AWESOME!!!

[@t.sewell1513]

Better than the album!

[@janmckissack5384]

I saw them last night in Denver and they closed with this song. So F’n great man. Thinking of going to the Vegas show next June. Some bands after I see them live a few times I’m good but I can’t get enough of Primus.

[@nuke97]

Cheers! Hope to make it to the Vegas show as well.

Para mi el mejor tema vanguardistas y de virtuosismo que representa lo que era esa época en música, y unos de los temas que escucharé hasta morir.

[@jmcateer0]

same here, metal is my bread and butter for music, but Primus will always be my favorite band.

[@VikoTheBassist]

The album version ends at about 6 and a half minutes from this version, after that is what you can only get from a live Primus performance. I got lucky to see them close with Southbound Pachyderm, that was about 15 minutes (7 minutes of jamming)

[@lelorieradrien965]

God Larry is incredible on this one.

[@nuke97]

Yes he is.

[@kenchavez3234]

Curious as to when they really started stretching out their songs I.e. this and American Life. Now I feel like they love to take the music for a stroll.

[@nuke97]

They debuted jammed out renditions at the start of the Tour de Fromage era in 2003. The last time they had that level of jamming was the 3D tour.

[@masterpbk]

Agreed my friend, I always see people that love Primus. But I don't know many other than myself who think of them as the best band. Ever. I'm a death metal guy, and my favorite band remains Primus. Primus Sucks!

[@woopchicken8371]

masterpbk I agree.nobody plays better live. their live recordings on KZbin is awesome!

[@masterpbk]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[@aeonflux4586]

Heavy tango, fuck stick!

[@janokaj5768]

AWWwWW shit. 😂 i can't

[@spectrodetempo5459]

Anybody noticed the almost-Tool tone in 8:45?

[@StefanG5]

yes, that was Schism there

[@nuke97]

Tool took some inspiration from Primus IMO. They used to open for them all the time in the 90's.

[@jellyjamforever]

I would pay $1000.00 dollars to see Tool and Primus play a show together. Please!!!

[@t.sewell1513]

I seen Tool and Primus on the 1994 Lalapalooza tour. Tool was supporting the drop of Undertow and Primus was playing from Pork Soda. Les actually hinted at the new album coming. Which turned out to be Tales from the Punchbowl. It was an epic day to say the least.

[@davidstarr853]

Last time I caught a Tool show it was precisely this. Primus and Tool. It was fucking awesome. I was just so incredibly fucked up too. Real fun time. Primus and Tool. It really doesn't get any better.

[@danielm4114]

Let's not give Ticketmaster the idea that people would actually pay these prices...it's bad enough out there as it is.

[@ryanoutlaw9124]

I saw both in Pensacola! Amazing show!

[@nuke97]

@NotATubeSurfer Hahahaha Thanks for noticing! My hope is that I can have Primus thumbnails in all the dirty parts of KZbin. The way I see it the more attention Primus gets the better for everyone :D

[@scottlondon8382]

This is just 3 gods who are all in the same band

[@willconlon391]

I think about 1000 of the 34000 views are mine

[@duncansmoviesandanimation6555]

What outfit was Les wearing here? Was it the red overalls?

[@fadiayat5372]

anyone know which drummer is playing on this recording? Sure sounds like Timmy!

[@nuke97]

It's Tim.

[@VikoTheBassist]

Tim, he was with them in 2003

[@bojanks15]

1:19 i came

[@JKoooozie]

Some of the best jam you can make. Primus fucking sucks.

[@miguelsmith5243]

Every time they play the Wiltern the shows have been incredible. PRIMUS SUCKS.

[@fadiayat5372]

Almost. Rush is #1

[@nuke97]

Primus does bring a very particular energy to the Wiltern. There is something special there.

[@koagulasepositiv]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@dashriprok5852]

That sucked

[@jgworkstation]

primus sucks...derp.
