I love how Les just has his car keys dangling of his belt loop like he’s on a break from his janitorial job to do this concert real quick.
Welcome to late 90s alt rock style. Work boots, baggy pants, wallet in a chain, and keys at your hips. Waiting for the kids to bring this style back on TikTok so I can look fashionable again
Hell yeah, shows his humility 😂🤘🏼
The best part is that this is somewhere in Germany I believe, so what do those keys even go to? Lol
As was the style at the time, til the Kaiser took that away
@@CurlyDaZippy Oh, it's back behbeh. Cargo pants and wallet chains are hot right now.
Watching Les take off into his legendary strut never gets old.
Yes I love it! I was seeing if anyone mentioned that. He does it good on Those dam blue collar tweekers. Les Claypool is super funky!
@@brinkybrinkz yes yes! I love watching his strut! Besides that being my favorite Primus song, he tears it up on that song…. every time.
So, as lovely as his strut is and he's really stylish with it, as a musician it's more about keeping time. Not that Primus play in particularly odd time signatures but it still helps with the muscle memory.
Yup I love his moves in the DMV video
Edward Norton is a hell of a bassist.
I said he looks like Ed Norton and the wicked witch of the west from the wizard of oz
Ed Norton. Damn that shite is fun-E!!!
More like Christian Bale to me.

Thank you!!!!! Trump24
Thank you!

Les plays the bass like he invented it
It's because he's Les Claypool
I just naturally assumed that he did.
this is the truest statement that ever was
@@YouShookItThreeTimes What a great song, not much of a primas fan till I saw this!
@@DanielFlores-kq5is Me either. I've listened to them once in a while but this live performance is one of the best I've seen from them.
Les Claypool has one of the greatest walks while playing the bass and it's awesome
Les?
Its Leg Claypool, Dork!!!!
The Les Claypool strut ....yeah
No.
He was also great in OITNB as porn stash
He's from the Petaluma area and its all farms. Looks like a rooster strut to me.
Just turned 61 and I still love it when I stumble across a Primus clip I had never seen.
Age is nothing
Hilarious moment at 26:16 where Brain shakes his head after Les makes him go way too long on the outro to My Name is Mud, then we see Les walking the other way laughing his ass off while he switches his instrument. The original troll lol.
I love these guys man.
at least the song after was a little more chill so brain could recover from that
At that point brain had just joined the band, he was messing up on the outro, so Les was making him repeat it until he did it right a few times in a row. It’s like joining the army y’know
Les: I'm going to do this 26 times. ...I'm not going to tell Brain.
Brain: Another one? Ok. (repeat x26)
Concert is in Germany. Les addresses the crowd in Spanish. I fuckin love Primus.
I caught that.
I fuckin' love Primus too... They suck!
Like Arthur Morgan yelling "Vamos" to the German family he saves.
Crazy , but atleast they played in Beloved Germany
@@IAmClownbaby lol love arthur
An odd band... but it steams a good ham.
wheelzwheela Seymour, the concert is on fire!
@John Smith May I see it?
Best thread ever.
Ham... ham..ham... ham... stayin' alive!
Love this reference lol
One of the best things about UA-cam is being able to watch all the live concerts from over the decades.
You can’t appreciate how good a player Ler is until you try to write something over a les bass line. A truly unique band who has no contemporary equal
The non humorous version of primus: tool
They lay it down ! I am from the Bay Area and you can hear a lot of what we heard every day. It’s unique
So true 😂@@kingtaco4064
No doubt and Tool just can't compare to Primus. Are you high? Tool is great for their own reasons.
@@kingtaco4064The comment seems to water down Primus. No offense.
All three of them absolutely nailing what playing lead, bass and drums should be about. Amazing chemistry.
I see Primus as being a simplified and abstracted version of Rush (when I think about trios, if Les played keyboard too 🤔).
Oh, you bet. They're all amazing at what they do.
Yeah, it's like...
Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Rush and Primus all nailed power trio in different ways but all nailed it. All are hall of fame level, but Primus is the only one that got there while being PRIMUS.
Overwhelmingly, the most slept on band on that list. Arguably the most creative, too.
Les Claypool is probably one of THE most unique instrumentalist/vocalist ever.
Seeing a German mouth the lyrics “these damn blue collar tweakers are running this town” is something only primus can do. Amazing band
What you mean by that?
I was full of joy seeing the mix of people singing along, people getting into the grooves, and the usual 'confused first timers'.
Why? You think Germans aren't good enough at English? Or do you think it's something about German work ethic? Seriously confusing comment, but a couple people liked it for one reason or another
@@Homanjer Don't worry about it
@@Homanjer Primus and their lyrics are already very weird by American standards, so it's just endearing to see their songs resonate with people from another continent.

You are thanked
I love you... thx
I love boyfriend
@Shocked none
What song does he play in the middle of Blue Collard Tweekers? I keep hearing it performed but can't find the song! @girlfriend
16:02 Tom Morello is very excited
lmfao the dude totally looks like him
09:46 Tim Commerford too!!
Where??
Lol
Funniest YT comment I've seen in a while, lol
It's funny when ever the camera cuts to the crowd. You can tell some people "get it" but most are just flat out confused.
They know primus sucks
his singing is confusing them
@@emusmilesop3417 Oh do I love Primus...! They suck!!!
They are idiots, just standing there!
@@justinecamp7922 Did you know that most people won't admit, but are quite uncomfortable to dance, move and groove to the music in a crowd when it is that lighted...?
I love this era of Primus. I remember being devastated to hear that Herb wasn't their drummer anymore, but was floored when I saw them live with Brain. Totally different groove, but mind blowing in its own right.
Brain was the drummer when I got hip to em, he had a turntable with his kit
I 100% agree. I thought the same when I saw them. He totally reminds me of Dave grohl just minimal drums but a complete powerhouse!!
tim will always be hands down the best drummer.
As a drummer myself, nobody but Danny Carrey compares to Tim on the drums but Brain was a killer in his own right.
Brain is such an underated drummer. Yeah, there's folks that can play more complex stuff out there; but brain's groove is just amazing.
He is one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice pfp >:3
@@chubetube Thanks fam
BRAINNIS THE SHIT
He has a pretty hilarious how to drum teaching video. It's likely on UA-cam
The bass riff from "my name is mud" is just about the best ever.
Les Claypool was great in Fight Club and American History X
I was thinking the same thing....
yeah, it's fuckin ryan gosling
lol
Jajaja, I think you are confused. Edward Norton was the starring of both movies.
Jean Deschamps I hope he's ironic

Also give thanks to the guy who uploaded such balanced and mastered version ❤
The decision by German concert promoters to dose 3/4 of the crowd with animal tranquilizers prior to the show was, in retrospect, a mistake.
The Germans, efficient to a fault. Jah, das horse tranx for Der primus fans jah?
@Tripper Harrison how does that even relate to anything.
People around here like to actually listen to the music, instead of constantly chatting and yelling ;-)
Hysterical man!
They're Germans. They're probably deeply analyzing it, and figuring out how to apply it to their engineering prowess.
15:15, man that crowd is electrified. Talk about pure energy.
Those fools don't realize the greatness they're witnessing.
I'm seeing a bunch of attentive people throughout the video who are clearly appreciating the band that's playing for them, whether they're fans or not. I prefer seeing that over wasted dudebros going nuts and missing the entire show because they think they're in a Slayer pit
It's at Rockpalast. The Rockpalast crowd who XTC played to in February 1982 were like that, too.
Michael De Leon
Hence the bliss baby.
looks like they are enjoying the music without having to stand in retarded mosh pits all the time. see nothing wrong here
This band cannot be copied. They are Gods!
BRAIN!!!!!!!!! Great drummer I love his style
Les was leased to Primus from the ministry of funny walks :)
Ministry of Silly Walks.
Les is probably the long lost cousin of Chuck Berry...
I was thinking he must be the offspring of Chuck Berry and Groucho Marx...
and he has something to do with this ua-cam.com/video/v2AC41dglnM/v-deo.html
Say no more!
Great drummer :D
@The ABC Jug Band North Drums are rad.
That's Brain!!
That's brain on the drums! Honestly se s drummer his grove talent is goals
Earlier that day, the band experienced an accident where all of their clothing was lost, and sadly the only clothing store nearby was “the gap”
For real?
I was going to say, Les usually wears a funky outfit onstage.
Pretty sure that's not even Les, i think Shia Lebouff stole their clothes and replaced Les with himself. It seems method acting works on bass skills.
I was in N.Y.C. years ago and was caught in a huge downpour and was with my mom. I was soaked through and our hotel was in Jersey. The closest shop was The Gap, definitely NOT my style of clothing, but I needed something to replace my clinging silk dress. My mom bought me a pair of jeans and a black and natural striped v-polo shirt. I felt so damned preppy! Like I was a totally different person! Normally I would only wear jeans to work and dresses the rest of the time, and a polo?! No way!
@@konami1979 When I saw him in Portland, OR with one of his other bands he was wearing a full head pig mask. It was a great show!
I'd love to here some classic Primus live. Sailing the Seas of Cheese was my 3rd album I ever got as a present. I was 6. Thanks to my uncle for that one.
thats quite an uncle you got yourself there
damn nice
I was given KISS - Double Platinum (from my Dad) and Queen - News of the World (from my Dad's best mate) on vinyl for my 10th birthday, I was pretty sure nothing would top that, but damn, Primus for your 6th is badass dude.
Best Primus gig on the tube.
absolutely
Their set from Woodstock 94 was pretty damn good.
Yeah this would be second to woodstock. Much more energy.
Bonaroo was pretty good
The signature Les Claypool "kneelift while playing bass." 😂🤣😂😋
I love it! Lol 😁
Primus is so unique in their sound
Toda vez que tô me sentindo meio pra baixo ou triste venho aqui e assisto esse show por completo que faz melhorar meu dia em 200%
Maybe the last time we saw Les perform with normal people's clothes
First and last
Hernán Salto
His wardrobe case got mixed up with the Dawson’s creek boys.
i wouldn't dress like that tho
His clothes are usually pretty normal.
before abnormal fro's
16:03 Tom Morello snorting in rhythmes.
The late 90s were another world.
Early-mid 1990s u mean?
1997 was end of 90s music revolution. Unlike today there was still great music being put out 97-99..But the feeling, the movement was over early 1996
50%...TALENT. 50%...comedy. 50%...MESS. I know my math is wrong but that's what makes PRIMUS 50% more entertaining than most.😁
Man I never get tired of this video. All 3 are on their game! I love Brain's style!
Man, that bass on the intro to Shake Hands With Beef is so fucking good live. Fantastic tone
+reniisgod dude, you know it.
And just in general, it's one of the coolest bass line ever
+reniisgod and that's one nasty ass intro to My Name is Mudd
+reniisgod dirtier bass then any bro dub step out
+TOOLnPRIMUS any fuckn day dude
This must be one of the tightest live gigs ever , absolutely phenominal .
Have you seen Woodstock 94. EPIC EPIC EPIC
Blows this show to pieces
Not even remotely close
Ever see any real bands ????
@@mrfclef1 Such as .... ?
This ones alright but like guy above said, woodstock 94 performance is much better than this one
@@meatazzsandwich I'll check it out , thanks 🤟😁
Another concert I can smell through the screen
Crazy shredding just tearing it up.
What a powerhouse trio.
WOW!
Les gets me so....yep. 😂
Lol Les dresses exactly like you would think when you hear his music. He even has the keychain with 1,000 keys on it, hitched to his waist 😂
Well you know, the measure of a man is how many keys he has!
I wear 1000 keys too.
I look like a janitor.
@@panchoperodo4310 You must be the man! I have a friend with MS and he has a ton of keys on his chain, he can't remember what most of them are, but he has a lot. He is in a wheel chair now so at least his pants don't fall down.
Les Claypool is a mad genius! And the drummer is excelent!!
Don't you always wonder how long it took the first timers to realize: Holy Shit, the bassist is the lead.
All the band is awesome
Pure talent and energy
Les dressed like he has a job interview after the show
Hahahahahah
They're called clothes dumb ass
..at Blockbuster for assistant night manager.
Ziontrainism: He looks like a '50s/'60s Latino gangster who's trying to pretend to go straight.
Les dressed like he was going to a cook out lol
how has nobody mentioned that shifty guy that keeps running away from the camera. first appearance at 30:07 and then at 31:00
29:50
LMAOO...the hat dude
time traveler.
22:30 i think thats also him
Fritzl?
That Tommy The Cat performance was amazing.
One of the most talented bands ever.love em.
Ler is one of the mort underrated guitarists of all time.
Rand Mcnally adam Jones and larry is a underretead guitar players. 2 monsters
He makes the list for top 10 worst haircuts.
Teague Anderson Shhh his hair looks sick here
@@baddecisions4554 ?
I think he gets exactly the rating he deserves. None.
Primus Sucks !!!!! One of the best bands on stage ! Period .
Came here to say this
@@hjdorn lol
I’ve been listening to Primus pretty regular for the last 20+ years and I’m still blown away by the caliber of their playing. This lineup, with Brain kicking ass on the drums, Claypool playing the bass like a lead guitar , and Lelond absolutely shredding on the guitar is still my favorite Primus lineup.
Les Claypool is still my favorite artist after a few decades. He rocks!
*Les claypool the CEO of bass*
The bass is so good at 39:05 that even Brain has bass face. lol
He's lovin it ! 😂
Les walking like he’s hip firing is legendary 😎👌🏻
Best Primus trio… the brain their best drummer by far and one of my faves!
if I could play bass like this id never leave the house.
You must be crazy, if you could play bass like that, why not go out and play for people "Yo, check out what I can do!"
I've been trying to play bass like that since I started playing, and I can really only play fisherman. I've gotten frizzlefry 25% done. Fuck you, Les.
@@supaF frizzle fry is easy. Until its starts speeding up in that middle part. Then your forearm catches on fire.
Les got where he is because when he was learning he never left the house - he played the bass!
You’d have to never leave the house to play bass like that...
Lady: what are you wearing Les from Primus?
Les: Uh, khakis
Michael, what can I say but nice! Made my day. State farm totally needs to sign up primus for their as campaigns.
He sounds hideous
critical of onions Ok you made me spit out my beer! 👏😂
Well done sir !!! Had me laughing
Sounds and looks so, so good for 1997 upload!
A melhor banda de todos os tempos, na boa msm. Primus é muito afudê
Primus é foda, tem umas linhas de baixo unicas, Les é do caralho!!!
@@canalqueavisaondecomecaovideo Extamente!!! Não tem adjetivo melhor pra definir eles do que UNICOS!!!!

Thanks!
Alan Rodrigues ya lo había puesto, pero igual gracias
This whole set from the beginning comes in hard af!
That snare tone is unreal
Cool they have a song called "Coddingtown". That's a shopping mall here in my hometown of Santa Rosa (California). Les lives in the town of Sebastopol about 20 minutes away. Friend of mine works in a restaurant in Sebastopol that Les and his wife frequent.
Is it D's diner?
Cool story bro
good library there too with a snoopy statue in front
One of the cleanest drum intros I’ve ever heard!
Few today will understand how incredible it was to hold such a concert in Germany 🇩🇪 in 1997. 8 years earlier Germany was split apart and their was best real fear of the world exploding in a mutual nuclear strike. By this time everything felt possible in the West, and the near and far East was opening to our pop culture
These guys are so chill, down to earth, cool. Great band!
this is the most "normal" iv ever seen les dress. i get why he always dresses weird now. everyone thinks he looks like edward norton lol
He’s dressed like he’s getting ready to stop at Mickey Dees for coffee before heading in to Sunday morning church in Des Moines.
Or Christian bale
I love larry lelonde and all but. I think les is that one guy who makes everyone want to play bass. Pure inspiration and talent.
Larry invented death metal. haha
@@ripdeth YES!!! \m/, POSSESSED ,\m/
Ler's innovative, unique style cooked up with and from such diversity and prominent fronteirsmen of multiple genres, coupled with his tasteful presence and texture only he can bring, make him the only person that could've made what we know as PRIMUS.
he's one of a kind. everybody say, "Larry, you're a bastard!" trios like this must be written in the stars or something
I can't help but compare Primus to the Mothers of Invention, so brave a step to do your own thing and not fit any genre, salute!
amen!!!
heard that...makes me think Beefheart "Im gonna booglarize you baby"
I don't think les can sound any other way
This is also why I love Primus, and also why I've been a big beck fan since like junior high and I always end up loving Mike Patton projects 😆
Just do you, boo... Let them figure out what genre you are when you're done if they gotta.
I saw them in a small club in California in 97....this set is awesome....all great songs....great memories...🤘
Is that Brain on drums hell yeah it is
No doubt that Herb is an absolute monster, but I always dug the way Brain brought his own vibe to these songs.
When he was playing at Woodstock, he didn't display the same energy.
I love how the brown album sounds, specially the drums.
jay lane is better
22:20 that dude just doesnt know how to rock out
Haha The face that guy was making is classic
JONNY SLASH I l0lled so badly hahahahaha
LOLLL nice.
xDD damn blue-collar tweeker
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
"Those Damn Blue Collared Tweakers" fuckin slaps man! 🔥🔥🔥
Primus proves it: writing good songs always comes at last.
Les was awesome in American History X
I love how incredibly dark Primus can go...... think I'm gonna listen to this while I play Half Life in a couple of days..... for old times' sake. Perfect pairing, two of the greatest things around in the mid to late 90's.
Wow does Ler attack the first solo of Tommy the Cat, so clean and precise with a kicking groove. Genius playing.
listening to primus is paying attention to a music master class
I had been looking for this exact video for YEARS... Thanks SO much!!!
22:23 guy was on some good stuff
just looks like a normal european
he was on primus
Hahaha !!!!
this is like 3 musicians who can all play their instruments, got together and said, 'let's just play our parts and see if it fits.'
And it works lol
This nerdy-ass/Wally Cleaver look is by far my favorite version of Les, and it was rather short lived. You gotta love it when you can mistake a heavy metal virtuoso for your kid's Sunday School teacher. Makes it all the more SICK!
I'm late to your comment, but he looks like a homie to me.
(Chicano gangster)
I have only heard the name primus.
This video is the first time I ever heard them.
I did alot of time in my past.
These guys put out alot of sound for 3 guy's.
35:05 - "Said Tommy the cat as he herblesherbler into his mighty throat!"
XD nice Les
Man, Primus was firing on all cylinders that night.
This is One of my all time favourite live performances. ❤️
so trippy gd im lost for words every time i see this
Les is awesome in all his glory but let's take a moment and listen, this drummer is freaking awesome!
Those drums sound amazing as well.
Herb always kills it
Yellow Belly That’s Brain, not Herb
Brain who plays w Buckethead....
Not lane?
christian bale is good on bass...lol
You mean Edward Norton?
Christian bale was his replacement that show
Norm macdonald can slap the bass man!
Shia Leboeuf
Hollywood is in your mind
Una maravilla este trío...suenan por 6 músicos...
Awesome post man.. Thank you. Forgot how bad ass these boys play. And I've seen them 3x
These guys are so good that even when one of them screws up you can’t really tell. Les is a bass genius!!!!
