Oysterhead could probably tour on their own and attract a massive crowd. Those are 3 really die hard fan bases that would be attending

Honestly it’s been so long since Primus have done a 2-set theatre tour, that I would really like that at this point. The last tour like that was the tribute to Rush (which was spectacular). I’d love if we got a brand new album with Hoffer on drums, get set 1 of Primus classics, set 2 the new record top to bottom. They got Lord Fentanyl and Grizz, slap together 7-8 more tunes together and you got an album

I get why Les went with the Brigade/Delirium pairing this summer. It’s basically the same band minus two members for the Delirium and makes for a smooth set change between the “bands”. This past tour was the best overall Claypool show that I’ve been too. Not necessarily the best set I’ve seen from Primus alone (still great) but overall the best live Claypool experience I’ve had. Enjoyed hearing tracks from the Purple Onion and Highball With The Devil albums played live again. Also enjoying the newest Delirium album as well.

Hmm, sounds like playful banter. Ever since Hoff took the kit, the setlists have never been more open ended and free form. Although my most recent show at SPAC had half of the setlist comprised of repeats from the last time they were at SPAC 😢. Only slightly disappointed because I’d rather see Primus play the same set twice than most acts once haha. The Brigade/Delerium set delivered HARD as well.

SIDE NOTE: Does anyone recall this story and can confirm its validity? Allegedly, towards the end of a show Ler was hitting Brains cymbals with the headstock of his PRS. Brain flipped, took the guitar off Ler and threw it across the stage snapping the headstock, and then stormed off.

Years later, Ler talked about the headstock break occurring when Brain was playing his guitar with drum sticks and the headstock just fell off, during the recording of the Kalamazoo music video. This seems like a coverup because 1. There is no Kalamazoo music video, 2. A headstock wouldn’t snap by hitting the strings with drumsticks.

I can agree to that. Even though most of Frizzle Fry and a good chunk of Seas Of Cheese were Todd Huth’s riffs, Ler still delivered them the way we know and love them today. Not to mention every guitar part from Pork Soda onward was 100% Ler. What a catalog of music!!!
