Primus Tickets

Good show, not their best, they seemed to be on cruise control, going through the motions. It felt like they did not want to be there.Another day at the office. Playing live music should not feel like a day at the factory, well that's how it looked. Soory guys, let me punch my card, the night is over and I'm gone. A 2 hour show with an intermission, wow they really are out of shape! The place was overbooked. No videos or pictures, I watched the show not my cell's screen:)!!!

Oh my god! What a concert! It was my first time seeing Primus in real life. It was just purely awesome, the setup was pretty cool, music was amazing, energy was there. Probably the best intermission ever. Popeye Cartoons !

best three piece band of the past 20+ years. always a pleasure to see them play.

Great group and great show. Thanks to the staff for keeping things under control :)

The show at Metropolis was great. I gave it a 4-star review is because in my opinion, there should have been a few less extended jams in order to include the songs "My Name Is Mud" and "Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers" in the set list, which are two crowd favorites. Also, it seems to me that the volume of Les' vocals could have been louder, although that seems like a common occurrence at concerts these days. The musicianship was otherwise unparalleled, which fans of Primus have come to expect. All in all, I'd highly recommend this concert to people who appreciate musical talent, even if they are unfamiliar with Primus' work. While the music is often off-the-wall, Les has enough pop sense to put a good groove in his songs and it wasn't unusual to see women dancing during the show.

the only word to describe this band would be Primus!!! the music, the ambiance, the sound and the visual effects are as unique as the band itself. Would definetly go back if the opportunity shows up! The new album is a good as all the others. the only thing is They should have mixed the old songs with the new ones instead of making two different sets... the second part was not as fun because we didn't know the songs yet... It would have been nice to know a few song in the second part of the show...but that's only a detail!

Primus was Primus. Les was Spot on, Ler played excellent solos, and their new (Old) drummer Jay Lane was just like he sounded when the bands first album. Killer setlist and killer show. I can't wait to see them again in October.

Played everything you would want them to for a trip down memory lane.

Visually stimulating, unbelievable music. Over all amazing show!

all the bands were amazing but primus was somewhere beyond amazing

Primus did not disappoint and the openers fit with Les's usual eclectic tastes.

It was a blast...the masks were creepy! It was a good atmosphere!

The sound was good, Primus sounded just like on the albums so in that respect the show was great. Unfortunately they spent way too much time "soloing" (read: aimlessly noodling) away on their instruments for extended periods of time during almost every song which got old really fast. It's not the 1970's and I'm pretty sure most of the audience wasn't high on LSD. I wish the band would've just stuck to the songs themselves because we would've gotten twice as many if they had (they didn't even play Winonah's Big Brown Beaver which is probably their biggest hit). I'm still glad I saw Primus, but I wouldn't road trip to see them again, and probably wouldn't go to another show unless it was cheap and in my city (Saskatoon).

Lots of off the wall jamming that I totaly didn't see coming. There playlist is unforseeable. I've been a long time fan and thought I heard it all from these guys.... I was wrong.... It was Bleeping Amazing! There were a few songsI have never heard before, he came out on stage with a monkey mask? so it might be new material (sounded good). I really hope they come back soon, it was a night I'll never forget!

venue is terrible, but Primus owned anyway. no matter how bad the venue is the show is still woth it. killer setlist

the openers kicked off with a flourish of manolin, banjo and a gas tank. speedy fingers and an enduring wrist on the gas tank! I was disinterested in the second act...sounded bad to me. Then Les came on wearing a pith hat, the songs he played were all recognizable and apprieciated.

Les Claypool and Primus are always a fantastic show. The peerless musicianship, mammoth creativity and tangible chemistry of this band never disappoint a music fan looking to renew their excitement about the possibilities of music. But beware, the Oddity Fair tour is, by definition, an exercise in self-indulgence. The opening acts, hand-picked by the band, are both exploring strange ground and unusual genre mixtures. Split Lip Rayfield, who have been described as cow-punk, are unreal musicians (blistering solos on mandolin and banjo accompanied by a "gas tank bass" player) and The Man's set pummelled the audience with what seemed like one long sonic boom. However, the venues these bands are playing in aren't serving them well, and they come across as novelty acts that should be limited to 15 or 20 minute sets. (Not true, though! I bought an SLR CD that night and it's fantastic! They just need a room with more folk-oriented acoustics.) Likewise, while Primus tickled the crowd's fancy with classics like Defy the Laws of Tradition, Harold of the Rock, Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers, Southbound Pachyderm and My Name is Mud, their set was peppered with long (albeit highly creative) interludes that gave the audience a little too much time to think about their aching feet. The self-indulgent approach also relieved the band of any obligation they may have felt to play crowd favourites like Tommy the Cat, Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, and Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. While the performance, itself, was spectacular, it was tough not to feel just a tinge of disappointment at not getting to see the band's biggest "hits" performed live.

all in all was a great show. definitely one of the better sounding shows at EEC.

They played so much stuff off the brown album which they NEVER play! It was epic.

Unbelievable show, set list could of been better but all together an amazing event. The best SHOW I have ever seen.
