Featured Review

No opening band, just 3 hours of Primus doing lots of trippy music with a few popular songs thrown in as well. The 3D effects were fun too. Managed to get in a little bit of moshing despite Hard Rock Live's strict policy against it. Good time was had by all!

One of the best bands around. Technical,innovative,quirky. Les is the best bass player around in my opinion. They pulled a little andy kaufman moment when they played a long string of classic cartoons (i won't say which ones). People started chanting the old "primus sucks" chant but that was not what primus was after,we had to wait it out. Cool 3D effects and quirky videos. My favorite video was the western themed one with lee van cleef. I would see them again in a heart beat. Les ended with taking his hat off and nodding to the audience. Then the lights came on. Great show.

This event wasn't for everyone, as it was more free-flowing--prog, almost--than the usual Primus show. But still, what a performance.

Primus is definitely one of the best bands around, specially in concert. However, this show was different, very different. Visually, the show was awesome, 5 out of 5. Audibly, not so much. I believe Primus could have done much better, I've seen it. Playlist needs improvement, could have played many other songs that are better and the solos in this concert were WAY too long. I will most likely always recommend going to a Primus concert, as I do this time, however, don't expect to be attending a better show than their last tour.

I last saw Primus play with Fishbone in 1991 and they were FANTASTIC!!! This show was even better, since it was all Primus. Les and the boys have only improved with age. They played both old & new songs and the energy in the place was HIGH! A pit started a few times, but was pretty mellow. Primus is a MUST SEE!

I've been a fan of Primus for over 20 years, first seeing them open for Rush in the early 90's. Unfortunately, it's been about nine years since I last saw them live, and over the years (and with a swap in drummers) it seems they have become more enmeshed in the "jam band" genre. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but their performance at the Wiltern wan't quite what I was expecting.

As part of the "3D" tour, the visuals relied almost completely on projections, with very few front-lights on the band, meaning that they were more or less anonymous. This tended to take away from the energy a little, limiting the communication between audience and band.

The set-list relied heavily on the "hits", and only once or twice broke out of the meandering jams ("Fisticuffs" was one of these highlights). I still rate this a good 4 stars, but just a little too much jam for my taste.

I have seen Primus three times in the last three years, and each show manages to surpass the last, this time in 3D! The effects were super trippy and fun, and these guys are so unbelievably tight. I was standing about 25 feet away from Claypool, and the guy is a freaking mutant. AWESOME!

I've been a Primus fan for the last 15 years. I've seen them maybe 10 times. One thingI like about primus shows is that they play non-traditional venues. In this case the venue didn't put out the sound I've expected from past shows. The low end on Les' bass was just okay where as in the past I've had to sit down because my brain was shaking in my head. The overall volume was too low as well... made parts of the show awkward. Performance was great, 3D was classic Primus shenanigans, I'd do it again.
