![Rig Rundown - Primus' Larry LaLonde [2017]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IQzQ_71-G8w/mqdefault.jpg)
This is the radio show where I first heard Primus. This was on a Wednesday. On Friday, they played a small club in San Jose, called Marsugi's. They were the opening act. Then All supported, then The Melvins headlined. After the show I was walking to my car and Larry, Les, and one of their roadies were sitting in a van next to my car. They were getting high and offered me a bong hit. I declined. DOH!!! But I did buy a "Suck On This" tshirt and cassette tape from Les directly.
Lol! Man you could've said yeah I took a bong hit with primus but nope! Lol
Ruben Mancha
OK. I took a bong hit with Primus.
@@dLimboStick :P Close enough, my dude. I think it's one of those situations where you can tell a bit of a tall-tail if you wanted to and the basic story would be the same. Either way you were at a special place in a special time.
5 years late to this little chat here....but any chance you still have the tape and shirt?
Easily greatest radio session of all time ever
It really excites my bones every time they begin John the Fisherman with a little YYZ.
even better when its tommy the cat. say baby
@@cw1785 she was lookin for that HE cat, and that was me

@@spaghettiopizza8686 and i say unto thee-
Les Claypool is one of the most outlandish, out of this world crazy weird funny, awesome musicians ever. The whole band is perfection.
Frizzle Fry is my fav Primus album
You can hear that that’s the same guitar he recorded the album with. ✨
Les Claypool, "At this point I'd just like to say, we are Metallica and we're damn glad to be here."
Annoyed DJ, "No you're not."
Legend.
when did he say that?
@@jeremiahcole2542 @19:15
Hilarious! Les actually played with Metallica, I think as an audition or maybe even a show or two around the Burton tragedy… Kurt and Les went the same high school. Les has spoken of Kurt in those days, saying: you would have never known he was the lead guitar player for a heavy metal band”.
I always thought it would have been a interesting band if they got together for an album or two… but I also see why not I suppose… 🎯
@@thomaslamothe6245 I think he auditioned but it wasn't a good fit. It was obviously not a skill issue, just very different styles. Metallica also takes itself too seriously to have someone like Les in the band. I'm glad Les did his own thing.
Absolutely!
58:19 that PRIMUS SUCKS came from the heart of a true fan, outstanding
Lmfao
I always find my 12 year old self on these videos lmao
“To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade …only of the brave”
My older brother was tuned in the day this was on the radio. We grew up in the delta and when my 9 year old mind questioned him “who are you listening to?”
He said: Some dudes from El Sobrante.
Saw them live at SF Civic Center a couple years later… my mind was blown.
Not once has this band ever ceased to do so in every new album thereafter.
After about 50 more shows, still as fascinated as that day when I was 9. I’m 42 now.
“…they do satisfy! “
Ill assume your referring to both your life and them corn chex. Albeit that lingering taste of toothpaste, they indeed do, satisfy. Have you a fine day
no way what part of the delta? I'm from the sip

I sent my life alone…
It's kind of amazing how good the kzsu audio is.
Yea right? The audio is surprisingly clear
@@reakwondachef6828 umm it’s a radio station
It’s a radio station 🙄
@The Jit for someone who listens to Primus you’re not cool and you don’t suck
@The Jit I get notifications hah
Les Claypool is an absolutely amazing piece of space on this planet.
"Bob was that you? Pipe down this is important for me"
Pipe down is something only to be said by people tripping balls
Larry doesn't get enough love, always fucking shredding.
I like how les is just taking the piss out of Bob the entire time
Bob took his belt, he took his belt and hung himself, he hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived.
And somewhere between 10:50 and 11:02 the studio clock goes bungee jumping...
Hahaha.
I can't believe they were playing music like this in '89! While other bands were playing the old hair band music they were already playing the music of the 2000 era, and killing it! Damn!
I know and that's what's mind-blowing about it!
Funk existed before the first primus practice, and college radio was a haven for young rock musicians in the late 70s through today. Not so mind boggling when contextualized
This is true, but a lot of the most creative, kooky, bizarre rock bands of the last couple of decades wouldn't have ever existed without Primus. All forms of new music need that first artist to "defy the laws of tradition" as they say.
@@tmmsplace nah I don't think there was anything like this, even in 70s funk bands but I'm not familiar with many so I could be wrong.
Larry is the president of licks,evil,wicked fast and furious,awesome,absurdly brilliant, sends electrical pulses through my brain,puts that spice and psyche all over Les clay pools pace maker,pulse,freaky drunken master ,a foil for the drummer who I have no words for cos he's brilliant tooooo
22:10 Tim singing to tommy the cat is just great
I'm not sure ppl were ready for this.
1989 and they have more musicianship, discipline and stage presence then bands decades into their career
I can’t stop watching!!!!!!
I don’t think they had any idea how good they were at the time and they didn’t care either 🤘
These guys are a well oiled fucking machine of sound and rhythm
Hope everyone doesn't mind an old 60's rocker chiming in but these guys f**kin rock! Les Claypool may be the best base player I have ever heard and it takes a lot for a Jack Bruce devotee to say. We listened to Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Cream, Hendrix, and a lot of jazz fusion, especially Miles Davis circa 1968 to 1973, so it probably isn't that surprising that I would find these guys rewarding. I do believe that Claypool would have been a base player Davis would have liked very much. No expert, no musician, just my humble opinion.
Is he better than Geddy Lee and Cliff Burton in your opinion?
@@zuphie9680 Well my opinion isn't worth anything but Geddy Lee is incredible as well. Les is so innovative and funky while Geddy has these beautiful runs and makes Rush so much more interesting, especially in combination with Neil Peart. I feel Geddy is more subtle and nuanced. Les as a bass player reminded me of the first time I heard Hendrix as a guitarist: " OK, I didn't know that was even f..king possible!". Cliff Burton is exceptional and i enjoy his playing but I would not put him in a class with the other two. Like I said though, my opinion is worthless since I am not a musician and just go on what I like.
Geddy Lee got Les... They supported Rush in the early 90's because Geddy wanted Primus them to open... The Rush fans didn't know what to think....
So Tony Levin dosen't say nothing to you?
@@andrepereira744 Thanks for reminding me. Yes he is fantastic.
God that strat tone is so gorgeous. Just everything about Ler's playing here is so fantastic, and this had to be super super early on in his run with primus. Tim's totally on it too, that snippet of YYZ is so sick. Also very funny to see a younger Les Claypool, always thought he looked like Karl from Workaholics here lol
Ya, Herb & Ler both joined around the same time when Todd & Jay left in late '88. And a couple months later they recorded Suck On This. But Les once said he didn't even know if Ler was any good when he recruited him: sure they were friends from their time playing in Blind Illusion, which was loud & had multiple guitars. So he'd never heard Ler playing alone. Meanwhile Brain was set to play drums, until he broke his ankle skateboarding. At which point Les said "What about that Tim guy, he was pretty rippin'."
Good thing too as Tim & Les were made for each other, musically speaking.
@@haamurabaigreyhome4713I totally agree that Tim and Les were made for each other musically, but I think that Brain was really the only other drummer that could have stepped in after Tim left. His playing on The Brown Album and Antipop is excellent and really compliments Les's bass lines very well. I can never really decide who my favorite Primus drummer is, as they've all been great in their own ways. But, I'd say that Tim is the definitive Primus drummer.
this is the line up that really took them to the next level!!!!so far ahead of their time..
Probably my favorite live version of Tommy the Cat damn…
I saw Primus live for the first time in Detroit in 1991for the first time, most recently last summer 30 years later, before flushable toilets and the combustion engine. Music like this happened because kids didn’t wear helmets every where:)
funny!
I first saw them in '92 at Lollapalooza. They played last. Les came out and said "we're Primus, most of you won't like us so you should probably go home." Then everyone started chanting Primus sucks! I didn't know what to think but I was an instant fan
Wow incredibly tight , shit , the drummer is a machine, a little YYZ with John the fisherman, these guys were locked in for this epic session , kudos to the station engineers for great recording!!
this is best fucking video on youtube
+Anthony Mendez There are plenty of great vids to be found if you search for either 'Primus 1989' or 'Primus 1990'. Give it a shot.. ;D
+Sunil Aneja uhh primus is alive and well and still killing it !!
+Sunil Aneja damn your lucky
+Anthony Mendez I agree there`s no one today can say their better than primus
Primus sucks, big time.
How much better the world is with primus and rush😵😨😁🤔
man. i was 15 in 92, when i was introduced to Primus. we used to get thoroughly stoned and just trip out. its perfect for the altered
Primus are just in a league of their own aren’t they
He is so ahead of his time, that when I got my first primus cd, i didn't play it for my friends as it was so different, like the sea of cheese might be too much for them!! 😅
This is from 1989? There was NOTHING like this back then. People must've freaked out.
+David Fisk I think people are still freaking out over primus
+David Fisk now imagine going to your local dive club in '86 and having some no-name opening band step up and say "We're Primus, and we suck!"
there's very little like it now
I think I paid 8$ for my first Primus show, there was like 3 other bands, that made it big(not yet though).
No big labels, just good tunes, with good fiends. I had never heard of Primus till that night in early 87.;They came on stage and said, HI WERE PRIMUS AND WE SUCK. Then blew me away..........
David Fisk
NO there was not.
YES we did!
There was no coverage of this back then on the national basis. Literally it was emo 80s and glam rock '80s and it all sucked .. sorry for those who love that portion of rock and roll history.. Primus got their first song, played on music videos with pork soda and as a kid. I loved it. And yet because there wasn't any internet I figured it was their first album, and follow them for almost 10 years before finding out that Suck on This, Frizzle Fry, and even Sailing the Seas if Cheese, even existed😮, nuxh less getting to hear rhen 😢. Even so, I got to see them twice before I knew of those albums , and oh what a glorious day it was when a neighbor of mine heard my speakers playing Primus and he introduced me to the albums I had never heard even though I was alive when they came out and my life changed forever-4-the-better🙂💚🙏🙌✊💯
"We're being seen by tens of tens..so..ahahaha"
Thank You UA-cam.
One of the dopiest bands ever
Founded in 1984, putting out all this bangers already in '89, I can totally understand that Les needed a break in '02 and put Primus on hiatus.
Saw this projected on the wall at a Stanford eating club in 1992 or 1993. Couple of people who worked at KZSU and two or three more of us. Glad it survived.
hahahah 13:06 damn dude that drop into that funky shit always gets my juices going.
The whole song is just satisfy's, just like them corn chex.
Ler, (Larry).. Formerly from POSSESSED! 👊
Can’t believe les claypool can play this good on that much acid, that’s right bob.
Epic. I was born in May of 1990… One of my first memories was scolding my parents after crying because they didn’t take me with them to see Primus at Woodstock ‘94. 😢 They laughed. I made my dad make me tapes of all the Primus he had in the house. 😁 Thank you for this…
I have seen this and listened to it numerous times. This is the first time I noticed Les wearing a Steal Your Face Shirt…..nuthin left to do but smile smile smile. Thanks for the epic post - top notch and on point in their early days. They just keep blowing the roof ( and my mind ) off all of the gigs as they grow and get better with age…. sick.
I was raising two sons while Les was achieving greatness with his band. We're the same age and his guitarist is awesome and gets no credit.
This video recording is sped up just a half a beat. Or the live recording itself is slowed down a half beat. But you can get this show on CD online. Can't find it streaming anywhere. But its rad to think that in 1989 you could have been cruising around Stanford on a Wednesday and hear this coming thru your speakers. Just a straight up vibe. I fucking love it.
Bro the Sgt Baker performance is fantastic
Just Fantastic....I'll never tire of Primus/Claypool and Company.
Les in a greateful dead shirt…. Talent respects talent…
I will always love this band!!!! ❤️😀😘
1:02:29 "hey what the hell you got going on over Therese!" I love les so much
One of the greatest bands ever.
The year of 1989 had
Primus: Suck on This
Faith no more: the real thing
Red Hot Chilly Peppers: mothers milk
WHAT
+NEXOS and ozma by the melvins!
+NEXOS louder than love by soundgarden!!!
Nirvana-Bleach too
+NEXOS Paul's boutique, Pretty hate machine, The mind is a terrible thing to taste.
Also Nirvana Bleach, Pantera writing Cowboys from Hell which would come out in 90..I'm sure there's probably at least 1 or 2 others I can't think of lol
.. oh yea....must have been when Metallica started writing the first album aka Black Album, that was the beginning of the end of the "true" Metallica we all loved lol.
this is by far my favorite primus performance
found this video back in 2013/2014 was workin on Marine Diesel Engines in Pt.Pleasant Nj. Still remember jammin out in the bilge to this… changing out rocker-arms on a Detroit Diesel 12v71….one of the Bogan’s Fleet in Brielle…great stuff!!
Been listening to them for 20 years off an on. We would have been friends frfr
I saw them live in 1997 outdoors at offshore. Some dough had a red laser. Les go's "why don't you do eomething constructive with that thing and burn the general warts off your dick" haha. I was 17. I'm now 43
Ler's best performance of frizzle fry solo IMHO. My inspiration to pick up the guitar.
I’ve always felt some kind of connection between old school Maynard James Keenan and old school
Les Claypool
Especially Maynard in those yoga pants and sandals in that one band he was in
@@eis904 C.A.D
@@eis904 maynard in that pink onesie having a nervous breakdown 👌
I can see it. They were both completely irreverent to everything and loved to take the piss out of everybody and everything.
Les was just more overly goofy, and MJK was more stoic and tongue-in-cheek.
I'M IN LOVE WITH LRRRRRRRR
Me too daniel
2022 and this slaps
They all look so stoned!lol
if they were you'd never know cause i didn't see anyone chug any water or beer. dehydration sets in very quick
shawn hapney not dehydration just cotton mouth. not everyone gets it and some not as bad as others plus plenty of cures for it like a piece of candy or gum or sugary drink. i dont get it unless i smoke alot
I was kinda spooked by the drummer's eyes
27:20 to defy yyz john ground puppies and tommy the cat, that goes hard 🔥
how times were diffrtent wish we could go backwards
HOLY FUCK!!! Did you have a time machine to go back in time to record this, or just the foresight of Nostradamus?
You're a legend for putting all these Primus concerts up in full. I sir, thank you.
This is brilliant to see , and to hear how their songs evolved before they were recorded for an album ,I remember the first song I heard by these , it was Tommy the cat ,when it came out ,I was instantly a fan , it was the drumming that caught my attention ( as a then death metal giging drummer) it had something that I identified as metal drumming ,but it was so far from what I played at that time ( stuff like deicide ,slayer,cannibal ,sepultura,etc )
It sent me into a whole new world of drumming .
this is easily the best youtube video of all time
I second that
Not until this moment did I notice the resemblance between Les Claypool and Christian Bale
8 peoples eyes dont work anymore
Thank you so much for recording this you have no idea how much it means to people
magic captured on video
Nothing like these boys ever and forever
About six months ago I wrote Les
and asked him if he wanted to put out a Spaghetti Western album. He was on tour. What cha doin now Tommy? I am the chicken picking machine gun, throw me some feed Les.
This is so good! Primus is awesome, I want whatever Les is on during this!
Primus sucks!
@@Dr.Acula76 yes, they do indeed!
He's on vision discipline, talent and work ethic
@@noshortselectric5208 ooh sounds dangerous
best band !!! ❤❤❤
6:40 "Hey! So uh, hey this is it. This is live Primus. I hope nobody gets pissed." 🤣
tim had such glorious hair
You can see Les knew they had magic in the first minute
Our Band Rein Sanction opened up for em ,in Ny
