OUTSTANDING!!!
My favorite Rush album is A Farewell To Kings, and I have always wanted to see Primus. It was supposed to be outside by the river but it was too cold, so they moved it into the Five.

Small crowd, GREAT sound, darkly lit but that was OK. A Primus set ("Tommy the Cat! Thanks guys!) and then the Rush. Les admitted he couldn't sing like the Ged and NO ONE CARED Perfection! Nice razzing us over our love of all things pork as well.
I admit I don't recall who opened, but I liked em!

A Tribute to Kings tour featured a set of Primus originals which were fantastic & A Farewell To Kings album by Rush. A big screen of synchronized video magic played with the music delivering the complete experience! Though Primus is not Rush - they did a very good rendition of the album which all in attendance thoroughly enjoyed. I for one (A Primus concert virgin) - can't wait for my next Primus Show! ...
