Primus - Is It Luck?

[thelooperz44]

i was at this show. fans got so crazy that the barricade in front of the stage broke, they had to stop laying for 25 mins or something. only played 10 songs, but it was still sick. seein them again in september this year at roseland again. if anyones going: dont break the fuckin stage!

[mkarmam]

no sir, it is not luck!

[Iamcola65]

it's luck

[nyboy010101]

anymore footage from this show?

[madwelshacre]

@nyboy010101 Not from me, sorry. Wish I had more though, it was a hell of a show.

[nyboy010101]

@madwelshacre Damn, I would kill for them to come to Roseland. I'm seeing them at The Williamsburg waterfront and the next day at Gathering of the Vibes...still wish it was Roseland tho...damn!

[madwelshacre]

@nyboy010101 Heh, I'm pretty sure I'm going to one of those shows but I'm not sure which yet...probably Williamsburg. This show was good and Roseland is fun but everyone in the audience went so nuts that the barricades up front kept getting knocked over and they left the stage after only ten songs. The setlist was perfect though.

[fernandoortolaniandr]

parem de filmar com o celular porq o video fica uma bosta !!!

[hokkah420666]

fuck yeah "Is It Luck" Ler fucking goes off on this one. This song is definitely in my top 5

[thelooperz44]

i was at this show. the barracade broke down and the show stopped for 20 mins. only 10 songs. but still amazing

[sociopathix]

everytime i hear " My socks and shoes always match, is it luck?!" when this song starts i cant help but crack a smile

[MajorasFlask]

best primus song besides pudding time, end of story. What! º¡º

[sociopathix]

i agree one of my favorite as well

[nyboy010101]

glad pudding time is someone's favorite song...beside mine

[Wazupe2u]

2 days and ill get to see him live

[lobsternoob]

seeing primus live is awesome, I saw then 3 days in a row in Santa Cruz twice, all 6 shows were badass. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

[wastecan300]

rofl i love hwo he starts walking the bass hahahahaha.

[kelthanius]

Herb is AMAZING at 2:28

[Anomie266]

That monkey sure can play the bass. haha haa. This was an amazing show but a lot of people complained, fuck that it was great!!!!!!!!

[SynesthesicVision]

OMG you guys!!! Les Claypool has 2 other side projects but Primus is still under contract to come out with an album every few years (and tour) to pay back their label.

lol

[timkick]

Is it Luck?

[vmrmuhyt]

PRIMUS SUCK!!!

[franktar887]

hey poser, saying primus sucks means that primus is good. Its supposed to be sarcastic and ironic.

[slurm1]

They've since abandoned the phrase. Now to say that Primus sucks is to really say that Primus sucks.

[patches0007]

ya especially seeing how they broke up they proly dont go by that term anymore

[dudesons441]

how/when did they break up?

[patches0007]

i thin their last album was antipop which i believe was released in 1999...correct me if im wrong

[Gormer]

theyre still together dude.

[patches0007]

they were broken up for a while while les did his frog brigade, oysterhead, sausage, holy mackeral and stuff like that...but they're back together now???

[Gormer]

yeah theyre back together now. theyre touring and everything.

[patches0007]

ya i gues im a little out of touch

[primussucks32000]

Their last album was "Animals should not try to act like people" released in '01 or '02. With the original line-up (Herb on drums) There was also DVD that went along with the disc... or a disc to go along with the DVD lol.

[ottoGnniFmaiL]

the disc was a DVD dumbass

[primussucks32000]

No there was a five track album and a dvd... I'll list the tracks for you if you want champ

[kermitsnap]

you mean '03

[Nap712]

They were saying it at this concert

[djscoventry]

how can you abandon a phrase?

[slurm1]

You're witty. I was speaking figuratively, since the concept of language is itself an abstraction.

[djscoventry]

Haha, you've lost me.

[franktar887]

primus absolutely sucks

[tallaghttrasher]

fuck u

[eyehatepop]

Does anyone know where I can find a vid of anyone playing the bass part up close??? I want to see how it works :D

[icec0rpse]

more or less, buckethead and claypool both had the same type of augmented note obsession. Hey, that type of music is it's own type... better than a bunch of the same ol blues/country/rap/rock crap in my opinion. IF yoU DOn"T/ or cannot make UP NEW musiC OF YOUR OWN, YOU haVE abSoLUTelY no ROoM tO BitCH...

[fryBASS]

woah! sounds like ler picked up a thing or two from buckethead ;)

[Hobbitboy01]

Are you kidding? This is off Sailing the Seas of Cheese. Way before Primus and Buckethead played together. Les Claypool is just insane.

[fryBASS]

I know, but the solo.

[wolverinerojo]

He said "ler" meaning the guitarist Larry La(ler)Londe, not Les.

[mormodaimon]

and larry always almost played like this

[Nap712]

Doesn't mean anything, that solo isn't on the album

[jahilshax]

I will remember this as my first time ever seeing Primus

COME OUT WITH A NEW RECORD/TOUR!

[whygodrums10]

i was at this show, i remember the barricades breaking. the dude who shot the vid was probably close to me cuz i remember seeing les at that angle

[bfish420]

apparently the whole barracade-falling down thing happened during american life, according to wikipedia.

[zangderak]

Nice video. And don't let the non-existence of the bass solo disappoint you. Les always teases the audience like that.

[Nap712]

The entire concert was jam packed with bass solos. He even performed "The Awakening" at one point

[fendrixdario]

es lo mas por diossss y la virgen (comunista), como vas a tener un sentido tan grande de solidaridad que darle un lugar de tu vida a dios??

[followthehexagram]

Great fuckin concert, just wayyy too short. I was right on the barricade until it broke. These two drunk fags kept falling on me and one spilled his beer on me, but they got everyone got pissed off at them and eventually they got thrown to the ground and then thrown out. I had a few videos from that I haven't uploaded yet, but I will. The security gaurd was like "If I see that camera again, you're not going home with it":]

[Word2Herb]

i was fucking there baby!

[completefear]

whoa... this was a bad show.... I remember much better shows.... Les Claypool was definetely out of it!

[Tjmcty]

yea the crowd kinda did make rasputina look bad

but they were pretty terrible

everyone just wanted them to get off the stage so they could see primus but they just kept saying, "this is the last song, i swear." And even after the crowd was getting pissed and yelling freebird they kept saying, "well i really like this song and if you dont like it, turn around or something."

but still great show other than that and the barricade breaking

[Poonard]

how did les handle the barricade? hopefully its in the video i just started watching.

[Flipperdoodles]

Primus had to leave the stage and the stage crew made every one move to the back of the room while they fixed it. It took over 10 minutes and we deffinatly missed out on a song. But atleast they came back with a solid version of Frizzle Fry.

[Poonard]

i have a recording from Santa Cruz when they got to the part in Groundhog's Day when quote "musically all hell is going to break loose." the barricade broke so they just did a 10 min mello while les told them to take 1 step back and the fixed it. Les is the man.

[ba165]

I saw them a few months ago at the Eagles Ballroom, and les didn't seem into it at all. Compared to other shows i have seen on youtube the one i saw was very dissapointing. I think ever since Les has been playing with "Jam" bands he hasn't been into their more metal/prog songs as much. Les Claypool is awsome and my favorite bassist, but he doesn't seem into it anymore. Whatever he is sweeet.

[Flipperdoodles]

I was there. You could see him signaling for the whamola but i guess maybe the string broke or something. Although it was a good show, it was by far primus's worst and most dissapointing show. Les wasnt into it at all and an hour long set. It took me twice as long to get there as the concert itself. Or Primus was pissed off cause the crowed fucking mauled Rasputina. Anyways this song and the upright bass were the only highlights.

[420milkman69]

man i was fukin there i was such a fukin good show fikin hell yeah primus for life

[saphaeos]

AWESOME TIS SONG ROCKS THANKS FOR UPLOADING XD I love primus ^^ heehe there awesome recroded and LIVE

[Dave2921]

omfgwtf am i saying,never mind, i havent heard this song in a while, i forgot that it goes like that.

[serpentoftheblackfur]

Yeah, you're fuckin stupid

[Dave2921]

hey fuck you i said i didn't mean it, learn to read dumb ass

[Dave2921]

lol they really messed up at 1:32

[serpentoftheblackfur]

I think 1:32 sounded great...

Ler mixed it up a little...

Keeps us on our toes...

[vivaelrock34]

que gran cancion

[Tjmcty]

yea les was freakin pissed. he goes "oh i was gonna do something reaaally; something unbelievably special. but instead..." and he plays like a really generic tune. the audience loved it anyways. too bad though. that bass solo would've have been fantastic.

[CoolitAC]

man...I was there...primus sucks!

[Ozzkev55]

My Friend Lost His Shoe At Roseland For This...Great Fucking Concert

[Nap712]

hahaha. So did one of my friends so I waited till everyone left and found a pair of shoes for him to wear cuz I didn't know which shoe he was missing but he wound up finding it after the concert

[000OOOooo]

OMG i know that but after that they played afew songs then ended the show with out an encor

[000OOOooo]

i was there

[diablofn]

yea, me too. they left for a few minutes while the barricade was a fixed.

[000OOOooo]

i was there it wqas fucking insane but it sucked caz the people were so wild that they had to tack a brake and it ended like 20 min early andles just walked off stage with out an encore or nothin. i dont plame him

[Goldman]

what are you talking about? is it luck was the encore...do you not remember when the whole band left the stage for 3-5 minutes...and then came back out and played is it luck?

[poopashardasrock]

have you ever noticed how in "the air is getting slippery" les says "if you want an encore you might hear 'is it luck?'"?

[Goldman]

dude thanks for uploading this. i was at this show and this was by far my fav song of the night. right when they came back out for the encore i started yelling Is It Luck?! in hope of them playing it and a few seconds later les busted into it. Did you happen to record the whole show or just this song?

[Goldman]

yes! i love you for uploading this! i was at this show and this was my fav part of the whole darn thing. when they came back fromt he encore break i said to myself come on lets get some is it luck?! and then les broke into the bass line. thank you sir.
