Primus -- Chicago, IL -- November 17th, 2006
Last Friday, I took another three-hour trip to what I thought would be another run-down, dusty, dirty, and ancient Chicago venue. The place was the Aragon Ballroom and the show was Primus. I met a co-worker/friend and a few of his buddies there and headed inside.
I was surprised to see that the old ballroom was in great shape. It resembled a Spanish courtyard with balconies and ceramic tile everywhere. After getting felt-up by security, we headed towards the stage. The stage at the Aragon is close to seven feet off the floor. It turned out to be too high for the guys that I was with, so everyone headed towards the balconies. After a minute of debating, I decided to go along with them to watch the show from above. I must admit that I was a little annoyed at not being at the rail for the show. However, during Primus’ set, I saw that those individuals that I would have stood by at the rail had all taken their shirts off and were moshing most of the night. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t like the idea of getting half-naked and bumping in to a bunch of other half-naked, sweaty men. The show itself was great and the sound was actually good. My only complaint on sound was that Les’ microphone should have been turned up a bit. I have heard from many people that the sound at the Aragon sucks, but that wasn’t the case when Primus played. The highlight of the show was during De Anza Jig, when they broke into the South Park theme song. That was sweet! Regarding the Aragon Ballroom, Les Claypool called it, “The Pirates of the Caribbean of venues.” If you've ever been there, I'm sure that you would agree. Here is the setlist: To Defy the Laws of Tradition Space Oddity > Groundhog's Day Mr. Knowitall American Life > Cosmic Highway Tease > American Life Seas of Cheese Mr. Krinkle De Anza Jig > South Park Theme > De Anza Jig Spaghetti Western My Name is Mud Jerry Was A Race Car Driver Harold of the Rocks Wynona's Big Brown Beaver Bass/Vocals: Les Claypool Guitar: Larry LaLonde Drums: Tim Alexander
