Currently trekking across the country on their Onward & Upward Summer Tour, Primus delivered an unforgettable performance last night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with a surprise tribute to their fan-favorite Brown Album. After opening with “Harold of the Rocks” and “Groundhog’s Day,” frontman Les Claypool addressed the crowd with a grin: “We decided this afternoon to do something you’re really going to love—or you’re really going to hate. We’re going to play 7 songs off the Brown Album.” He and guitarist Larry LaLonde then officially dubbed the iconic venue “Brown Rocks” for the remainder of the evening. The band then launched into “Fisticuffs” “Golden Boy,” “Duchess And the Proverbial Mind Spread,” “Over the Falls,” “Restin’ Bones,” “Bob’s Party Time Lounge,” and”Shake Hands With Beef” from the 1998 album. What followed was a deep dive into one of Primus’s most idiosyncratic and beloved records, featuring live renditions of Fisticuffs, Golden Boy, Duchess And the Proverbial Mind Spread, Over the Falls, Restin’ Bones, Bob’s Party Time Lounge, and Shake Hands With Beef from the 1998 album. |
