On a hot, muggy Saturday night, with the house officially sold out, Primus dazzled an audience made up of both die-hard and newly-converted fans at the Pageant on May 29, 2011.  Bassist Les Claypool made his grand entrance in true Primus style, adorned in a pig mask and set before a backdrop of the tour-trademark inflatable astronauts; the anxious crowd was ready for their dose of bass-heavy riffs and astronaut projections, and they didn’t leave disappointed.

Anticipation for the Green Naugahyde tour at a pitch fever, some fans wondered if the hype would live up the show.  They weren’t left wondering long.  One guy near the right speaker was seen bobbing his head and drenched in sweat,  his face rendering the sweet satisfaction of his approval. Adoring cheers of “Primus Sucks!” filled the air, first occasionally and then in forceful unison.

After the band, the crowd, the venue and the night were wrung dry of emotion, energy, and perspiration, Primus closed the night down and left the greedy fans satiated, for now.
