Primus - Videoplasty - 05 - "Tommy the Cat" (re-edited)

[@awllypollyas8292]

After 4 weeks of nonstop practicing I can finally catch up to les' playing speed in this performance. My friends are gonna have brains gushing out of their ears once I show them.

[@ZillMob]

I can't do any of the things in this video! Good job you! Oh wait, this concert was the only time I ever crowd surfed. I was wearing a full body pickle costume made from egg crate foam pads that go on beds. You still win, I do think mine is on the tape. Big maybe Not positive. I am in another spot for on second

[@aripaloheimo7121]

It’s unbelievable how Les makes something that hard look so easy ....

[@ZillMob]

Everybody and I mean everybody seen in this video looks like they are all going as hard as they can. I was there (brag) it was super rad and this video is great cause it holds my memories for me

[@nicolascorrea8252]

i love when les claypul play fender jazz bass

[@aldousorwell3807]

I love when BRAiN plays the skinnz.

[@stevemcrichards8768]

The sickest ever performance of Tommy the cat. You can't touch that shit! Rippin'!

[@shrunkentemple]

Only time I have ever seen Les on stage without his Carl Thompson.

[@matthewellis6516]

Then youve never seen them much he plays a precision a lot

[@fanaticaldueling6337]

@@matthewellis6516 I've seen him play a lot of jazz basses. He's playing a fender jazz here

[@CouchEconomyTX]

@@matthewellis6516 his pachyderm bass is great. But you hardly ever see Les with a Jazz bass

[@benp.320]

@@CouchEconomyTX Wynona's Big Brown Beaver he uses a jazz bass

[@mladd777]

At 4:34 till end, to me, this is the most impressive thing that Les probably ever did. That Tommy the Cat is awesome.

[@cayerman1]

I was in the front row of this concert and you can see me in the video! lol

Who Are You On The Video?

+Javier Reed @ 5:27 I am on the left side of the screen front row and then I put my hands up and screem. hahaha

Thats sick

[@tankmaster1018]

You are the luckiest son of a bitch ever! Lmfao! It must have been fantastic...

[@garethlorman1136]

Saw brain and spin guy that year at the wardrobe in Leeds, fucking amazing! Lovely people, respect.

[@DiamondLifer]

Best lineup.

[@honeybadger1810]

The bass is so thumpy and quick and percussive it's amazing I know how to play the main riff but not anywhere near like this

[@stevemcrichards8768]

Massive testicular fortitude helps.

[@barbamatteo]

LES with a fender bass...

[@tamashorvath6069]

Primus in its prime

[@gentelmanjunkie542]

Primeus.

[@kovalevisgod]

I know they were influenced by Rush and it may be totally by accident but that part where Les and DJ Disk are going back and forth kind of reminds me of "The Battle" portion of By-Tor and the Snowdog from Rush's Fly By Night album. I dunno...maybe it's just me. Either way, for the love of god...don't edit out Brain's drum solo.

[@DLites151]

The start of To Defy The Laws of Tradition, before the actual song starts, is them pretending to tease the crowd with YYZ in my opinion

[@dwprado25]

That DJ Disc experiment was terrible. Thank God that didn't last long.

[@ZillMob]

Not the greatest, but i do think it lived the exact right amount of time. It was like 1.5 years

[@scottcooneymusic6736]

why did you take Brains solo out? da fuq. I personally like Jay and Herb with their technical symbol work and whatnot. But brain is cool in his own way.

[@vinceventura2393]

Agree!! I like his style much more than Herbs. And believe me - I have seen both live. Brain has the same technical skills. But he´s cooler!

[@Musistics]

Re-filmed. Very sexy, still.

[@Munimun]

I wish I were that bass guitar.

[@dkyelak]

You cut out the drum solo and Buckethead. Fail.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

dkyelak: Honestly, I could do without Buckethead -- an over-rated guitarist, in my opinion (notable more for the gimmick of his wearing a fast food chicken bucket on his head than his actual skill on guitar)

[@alreddy13]

yEAH I think I would have benefited from the solo's HA!! The Brain plays fucking hard tho. I havent seen this in years!!! I try to look for it but it's only VHS :( bummer

[@ZillMob]

there is a fantastic double disc set with a cd for rhinoplasty and a dvd for videoplasty. It's a boss set! It has the original cheesy home video from like 1988, a bunch of Buckethead material The thing is loaded with extras! Much like pink floyd's the wall dvd. There are even hidden Easter eggs if you mess with the remote control

[@bytor9579]

Fucking love that speed up tempo at the end

[@theosarissky2129]

No matter which bass guitar you have. Only matter how you can play with it.

[@atsstockburn]

WTF? Buckethead at 3:14? Why isn't he on the guitar strings?

[@crossblood89]

I looked this up just to see the Buckethead part and you totally just edited him out?!?!?! WTF

[@dkyelak]

Sorry, the long version with Bucket and the spin guy was better.

[@lucasdias001]

Don't edit out Brains drum solo! Who are you to do that?
