southbound pachyderm ALIVE from pachyderm station les claypool live bass primus

live jam session they did during covid

[@INTJerk]

This is what the chemistry of a band looks like when they've been playing together as long as I've been alive. A pristine performance.

[@mikefries2146]

It's so dope, I love it!

[@seivaDsugnA]

You get an elephant moving in any direction at significant speed and you've got a good single.

[@adderon7476]

Pack the trunk

[@MatChew75]

The level that Tim Alexander is playing at after having two heart attacks is amazing God bless him. And Tim has been so vital to my drumming career easily one of my biggest influences

[@mk3driftmotion]

How did I miss this till now! These guys are legends!

[@casvandijck9338]

They sure are

[@ZackyDaley]

I'm a pretty newer fan I've obviously heard of Primus but I'm really getting into them now 25 years later LOL

[@mk3driftmotion]

@@ZackyDaley Primus, Soundgarden, Nirvana, and the Police, those were my #1 high school favorites!

Nice pic lol

[@ehill1536]

Originality is hard to find... exactly why I love Primus.

[@bopeep8205]

Herb is so incredible. His ability to rock with pocket is truly unique.

[@jaredjabouri7935]

He makes it sound the way mushrooms feel.

[@3three3three3three]

he's definitely my favorite drummer. i feel like he comes from the same alien planet as bill bruford and danny carey

[@MrSuperg1978]

that's Herb...Herb the "Ginseng" Drummer

[@thomascrawley99]

@@3three3three3three theres footage of him and danny playing where you can definitely see danny smile at some of his fills, great appreciates great, herb just serves a much more nuanced community, i completely agree with you though, id love to see him in a more prog rock jazz scene, and based off the newest single, we'll at least get to see more prog stuff from him!

[@jf3661]

They are so good it's unreal. They just get better and better. The way there songs change and grow over the years is just spectacular. Primus rule!

[@NickJohnCoop]

This is one of his best tunes ever and very personal.I remember going to a show in my my hometown of Perth,Western Australia. And it was done like this. Perfectly.

[@cnskate36]

I think it’s crazy at six minutes you think it’s over, but that’s when it really gets good!

[@TimJackson-eq6iy]

This is my favorite Primus song.I remember the first time I heard it. I was enraptured.

[@user-lh6ho9ov5w]

ENRAPTURED !! YESSSSS!! ❤😊

Herb, you kick-ass. THANK YOU!

[@stevemcrichards8768]

They still got it. Got this on cassette when Tales from the punchbowl came out in 1995.

[@blakew8357]

Loved primus since I was a young kid. Now 27 and about 5 years ago when my fiance bought me tickets to a concert they had nearby it was life changing. Best concert I've ever been too. The place was packed like fucking sardines and smelled like great weed. Good times.

[@TorlingJarl]

incredible. my first primus concert (6 days ago) was exactly as you describe. Truly one of the best bands that has ever been.

[@cmgngmc]

I LOVE THIS TUNE

[@nickparrinello3302]

The talent is out of this world!! Love this tune

[@direfox6095]

Probably the best jam I will ever see.

[@jonnymoka]

What great jam! I just love these guys , grew up rocking to Primus and was great From the beginning

[@etiennedegaulle3817]

Primus sucks.

[@YogsenForfoth]

My favorite primus song. ❤️

[@TheIsemgrim]

i had the pleasure of seeing primus once, on a festival. the scorpions, sum 41 and some limp bizkit coverband was playing at the same time and it was lik 33c outside and primus played inside:P needless to say less then 100 people went to see primus. it was fucking awesome. they played great and i could actually see the artists for once.

[@marysanders6663]

How can anyone not appreciate their talents

[@Reprodestruxion]

“Cough” Mick Karn

[@timjackson5680]

This is my favourite Primus song. Arguebly Les' best bass lines.

[@daveismoseley]

What I’d give for one well mixed performance

[@MatChew75]

And as usual Larry LaLonde was one of the first great metal guitarists and he was in the band possessed one of the original bands from the 80s that play Death Metal and he was their lead guitarist just another underrated guitarist like Alex lifeson

[@tylerfletcher1291]

Hot damn Tim Alexander is fuking incredible!!

[@tylermccurry1836]

i can never get enough of this tune so heavy but so jammy at the same time

[@ragnarrothbard3418]

This movie will be a Christmas tradition in my house thanks to the dude who uploaded it on KZbin just long enough for me to rip it. I bought a ticket. If they release it as a concert film I will delete my pirate file. I vow to pay all the money that they want to charge for it and thus far I have. Why!? Why!?!!!!!! Why is this movie not available for purchase!?!? I want to cry for the people who didn't rip it.

[@chucku00]

People can say what they want, I think Les is an awesome and unique vocalist (I didn't say singer, not the same thing).

Sometimes live versions are better... Specially in closed-off environments like Pachyderm station! Perhaps a better studio than Les' own studio, judging by what they produce here.

[@MatChew75]

To me there's not a better band the past 30 years and more significant to the music world then this Trio and they're the best to do it since Rush I also saw them open for rush in 1992 for sailing the Seas of cheese and roll the bones the greatest show I've ever seen. And I think this is the best drummer bass combo there is in music sorry Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor Yes I do believe that Tim Alexander is a better drummer than Danny Carey.

[@piratexander]

anyone got the full show? willing to drop email

[@ryphraph604]

Is that Tim Alexander, if that’s the case this is the original members

[@ZackyDaley]

I'm pretty sure

[@jolemite2639]

Yes it is. And it's the classic lineup but not the original. I believe the Sausage line up might be the "original". They were before this lineup anyway. Les, Todd Huth & Jayski Lane.

[@erikbman3099]

Any neck of Claypool must be stressed and abused to the max

[@NewGuyMedia-xe7bm]

Nope , it's usually standard or drop. Most of his basses are piccolo bass. Thiner strings, longer scale. That part of his unique sound

[@mineboy8082]

​@NewGuyMedia-xe7bm yeah that's true. I mean he uses the gauges for those strings but still tunes standard
