It sounds like the same song for 90% of the show played very little of what I went to see. Unless you are a huge primus fan save your money.

Primus was amazing!
Primus was by far one of the best shows i have seen. Les Claypool is so whimsical and that bass line is one of a kind

Mastodon / Primus
Mastodon and Primus always put on a really good show. The venue was good and I liked the close proximity to Fremont Street in Las Vegas. Sometimes I wish the bands that play would pull their fans online and play with the fans want to hear but it’s not a perfect world so I’ll take what I can get and it’s always awesome regardless.

Primus and Mastodon killed it

What happened?
I have seen Primus 31 times now, and this year the 3 times I have seen them has got to be the worst, I don't mind Mastadon, I although each song sounds the same they looked like they where having fun, Les, on the other hand looked like he was sick of playing shows, I seen him in Colorado at red rocks in May, and he at least faked it well, but this time he didn't speak to his fans, he was zoned out, and didn't look like he was having fun at all, I even got a aftershow pass, and didn't care to go because I didn't want to put on a front, and lie to him to say I enjoyed the show. Yes it was super hot, and outside, but this is what happens in Vegas in July, but we sweat our asses off to be there with him, even the long wait of 2 bands I didn't care much for. Either quit, or give your fans a reason to keep coming back.

Great Primus show !
I really liked all their song choices. It was really great to hear this band again. I hadn’t seen them in years. They put on a very good show and I recommend highly!

Primus sucks!!!
Best venue for an incredible band!! Great opening band too... we thought everything was exactly how it should be!

Unique bass, to say the least
It is pretty surprising the sounds he can produce from a bass guitar, very much on his own level. I had a good time, particularly the longer songs, but overall sorta ho-hum to me.

Bio
Primus Concert Schedule
American Rock band Primus first came together in the mid-1980s, bringing fans a distinct style of Alternative Rock that wholly distinguishes them from their contemporaries. Primus' tour dates -- which include their 2017 Ambushing The Storm Tour, 2014 Primus & The Chocolate Factory Tour, and 2014 Spring Tour -- have taken the group across the globe. Their tour stops are mostly centered in the Americas but often include legs in Europe and Oceania as well. During their live shows, Primus delivers their trademark brand of rock, metal, and funk elements, laced with ridiculous lyrics sung by bassist Les Claypool (along with his legendary slap bass stylings). Their musicianship is combined with wild costumes and a sense of theater that get audiences moving and laughing in equal measure. Primus' superb musicianship and stage presence haven't gone unnoticed. Their early 1990s work, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese and Pork Soda, both went platinum. In addition, Their 1996 release, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, and their 2013 re-release of Sailing The Seas Of Cheese both earned them Grammy nominations: Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Surround Sound Album, respectively.
Primus Background
In San Francisco, in 1984, founding member and bassist Les Claypool linked up with guitarist Todd Huth and drummer Jay Lane to form the original Primus. The lineup has gone through several changes over the years, featuring other greats like Peter Libby, Robbie Bean, Tim Wright and even temporary touring members like Buckethead and Danny Carey. Throughout every iteration, though, Primus has always had a knack for putting on stellar shows and concocting unmistakably quirky music. Primus' debut album, Frizzle Fry, garnered them some success with smaller hits like the eponymous "Frizzle Fry," "Pudding Time" and "Mr. Knowitall." They enjoyed even greater acclaim with their 1991 release, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, which included classic singles like "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" and "Tommy The Cat." Since their inception, Primus has released more than seven studio albums, with numerous singles gaining spots on the U.S. Alternative charts. Perhaps most enduring is Primus' legacy. The trio has always featured powerhouse musicians and eccentric vocals. Claypool's work on bass, however, redefined the role of the instrument within a rock context and provided a blueprint for the inclusion of tricky (but funky) bass licks in future works by other bands like Incubus, Korn and Limp Bizkit.
