Hey! So I went to the Irving Plaza Primus show a few nights ago; it was somewhat rad ... here's the setlist, in order:
Seas of Cheese John the Fisherman Groundhog's Day Duchess & the Proverbial Mindspread Scissorman Tweekers/Highball Kalamazoo My Name is Mud Puddin' Taine Bob's Party Time Lounge The Family and the Fishing Net Tommy the Cat/The Awakening (w/DJ Disk)
and a little two-song encore:
Silly Putty (w/DJ Disk) Jerry
Call me jaded, but I've seen slicker Primus sets ... Ler's solos on "Groundhog" and "Bob's Party Time Lounge" weren't quite up to the same level they were the last time Primus was in NYC (at the final Sno-Core date) ... though Les' playing was pretty tight (especially on "Silly Putty"), and Brain's solo during "Duchess" was sweet. "Scissorman" was definitely the coolest of the new covers; Les was really getting into the song, supplementing it with cool little "scissor" hand gestures for the chorus ... "Family and the Fishing Net" was some weird stuff; Les' voice was distorted almost to the point of incomprehensibility, which was both irritating and pretty damn cool at the same time ... "Jerry" began with this really cool acapella introduction by Les ... but why am I writing all this? Check it out when it airs in a month or two on HBO ... |
