I finally got this DVD and watched it to bring in the New Year. I had read many of the Amazon reviews and was expecting it to be sub-par in quality. So I was surprised at how incredible this DVD was.

Most of the negative comments were based either on the setlist, the spacey jams, or the camera shots (ie: not enough Herb.)

Setlist- In my opinion, many of Primus' albums are kinda weak except for a handfull of songs (except Frizzle Fry whic is stellar from end-to-end), so this DVD was a near perfect song mix. Pachyderm, American Life, Rapskallion, Mud, Jerry...it was almost a compilation of all my favorites, followed by one of my all-time favorite albums.

Jams- The spacey jams are cool as hell. If I wanted 3-minute pop songs I would listen to NSYNC or some other horrific band. Primus lets these songs ebb and flow, build and break in a really tight fashion. The band imterplay is great. They are tight as hell, and yet there's still alot of improv going on. This is pretty rare in today's music as most bands are either tight and polished, or improv-jam oriented. Primus is probably the best combination of both. And then there's the boys incredible playing. Les is not only amazing as a bass player, but a totally compelling front man. Larry is a perfect compliment on guitar: shredding at times, and otherwise just losing himself in the groove. Herb is the solid and quirky base that holds them together. Anyone who says these guys are "mailing it in" is not watching the same band I just saw. These guys are passionate in every note.

What I REALLY don't understand is all the gripes about the camera-work. This video UNLIKE MOST, which are just a collage of closeups that jump perspective every 2 seconds, actually did a great job of capturing the live performance. The cameras stayed back and let us watch the projection screens, and the amazing lights, as well as letting us see the band as a whole. I think this is much nicer than endless closeups of peoples hands.

This is an absolute must-own for a Primus fan. Die-hard Primus snobs can complain about minutae ad nauseum, but for all the rest of us, this DVD is almost everything we could ask for.

I've seen Primus live several times over the years going back to '94 and have never seen them perform at the level as in this DVD. It's absolutely mind bending the scope of the musicianship displayed here. His time working with other musicians has really elevated his game to the level of Tony Levin and Trey Gunn. Herb is a monster and wowwww Ler I have never seen so on fire and as one with the rhythym section as displayed here. Every song is given extended workout jams which has my mouth agape in amazement.

Absolutely incredible Primus release. No way I can give this less than five stars. Two and a half hours of primal perfection.

My only complaint is that the camera work is not perfect..it's a small complaint but I would have liked to see more steady closeups of the fretwork and there are very few clear shots of Herb. Not enough for me to lower my rating a star.

El dvd logra una puesta en escena impresionante... la musica envuelve hasta el mas insensible... en lo personal este no es el mejor momento de Primus musicalmente, (gusto totalmete personal) pero aun asi el estilo de ellos esta presentisimo y logran atmosferas unicas!!!

~Muy buena compra... Bunisima... leen español?? bueno, aprendan si no... yo leo perfecto el ingles!! y lo escribo..

Primus is one of my favorite bands and they are captured beautifully on this live concert dvd. Les Claypool is one of the greatest bassits ever. It is great to hear the original lineup. The songs sound as good as ever have and the performance is great. I wish the played a few more songs on the first set, but the Frizzle Fry Set is amazing too. John the Fisherman rules. Long Live Primus. MY NAME IS MUD!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Primus at it's very best. Their chemisty at it's peak, plus Frizzle Fry in it's entirety and Herb on drums. And keep in mind while watching Claypool - He never took a lesson in his life - self taught all the way. That is, to quote Vizzini in Princess Bride: "inconceivable".

A must have for any Primus fan.
