So who's going to see Primus on this 2022 leg of their A Tribute to Kings tour? They're to play Rush's Farewell to Kings album in its entirety so I'm probably more excited to experience that. I'm just hoping that they take it seriously.
I have two kids living in Michigan, so I'm going to see them in Grand Rapids on May 31st. Then fly to St. Paul, MN 3 days later to see them again on June 3rd with my youngest son.

Les Claypool... serious??? The whole point is that music isn’t meant to be so stoic and serious. It’s about enjoying it. If we don’t enjoy it, what do we have left?
Anyway, I’m seeing them for sure. Had plans for the original tour and then it obviously got postponed
I'm talking about the Rush tribute portion of the concert. I pretty much know how they'll play their own music. I'll enjoy it either way.
I’m sure it’ll be a serious take on the album by 3 amazing musicians who love Rush. Listen to Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade doing Pink Floyd’s Animals live…legit
This is going to be mind-blowing I'm sure. I just today saw an ad for it. Gotta share this in the Rush thread brb
Will be seeing Les/Trey/Stewart doing an Oysterhead show at the end of the month at the Sweetwater 420 Fest. Wahoo!
I got to play Les's personal Primus machine a few months ago up at his winery. A few years ago before the machine came out I went to the winery after just picking up a Fun House.
I walk in and there's Les and the guy that helps run the place. I was all excited and giddy after getting the machine and explained to Les how I was super excited about it and got to talk with him a bit. He knew the place I bought it from and was asking what else the guy was selling to maybe furnish the winery. After he left the manager guy asked if he could check it out so we took a quick peek at it in my truck.
So fast forward to this past time I was up there and I was talking with the manager about how it was funny I was there with my machine and a few months later Primus came out. He was like yea I didn't even know it was being released and said we have one here if you want to play it. I said of course.
He took me into the office and I played a few games on it. Good times. If you look at the apron it's not signed. And for whatever reason they only had it set for 3 balls.

Seems like they've been changing up the setlist a little every so often. I'm hoping for my name is mud and too many puppies but probably won't happen.

They are playing it right now and it’s pretty gnarly.
EBD52F5D-6CBD-45D0-AEC0-EC044F12D703.jpegIt was a great show! I'm heading to St. Paul to watch it again. About 30 seconds into The Pressman, Les stopped and said he forgot the words to the song. I thought he was kidding.
Got to be in the first audience to ever hear Erin on the Side of Caution live. So that was pretty cool.
They performed A Farewell to Kings and it exceeded my expectations! I've been to quite a few Rush concerts but never had the chance to hear Xanadu or Cygnus X-1 live. So this was definitely a treat to have Primus play both.
