Last Monday night (April 17th), The Belasco in Los Angeles witnessed a mind-blowing collaboration. Primus shared the stage with Tool’s Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor, and Troy Van Leeuwen from Queens of the Stone Age. This epic gig wasn’t just about rockin’ out; it was about raising funds for Canadian director, animator, and writer Jimmy Hayward (Toy Story, Horton Hears a Who!, Finding Nemo), who’s currently battling cancer. Hayward is a dear friend of Primus members.
According to Setlist.fm, the night was packed with a 10-song set: six Primus tracks and four covers. The crowd went wild for Tool’s “Ænema” and an insane drum duel between Carey and Primus’ Tim Alexander during Led Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick.” They also nailed covers of King Crimson’s “Thela Hun Ginjeet” and AC/DC’s “Whole Lotta Rosie.”
It all kicked off with Primus performing “Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers” solo, but soon enough, Van Leeuwen, Chancellor, and Carey joined them for most of the show. The night wrapped up with “My Name Is Mud” and an encore of “Southbound Pachyderm.”
