The Dean Ween Group/Primus @ The Enmore, 6th April ’18
The Dean Ween Group and Primus played at the Enmore Theatre on Saturday night.
When I arrived at the venue there were fans linging up early to see two amazing bands and when I walked in the venue it was packed.
As The Dean Ween Group came on stage and the crowd went wild. The Dean Ween Group started playing their song “Dickie Betts”, and they crowd sang every word.
They also played songs the crowd knows and loves including “The Ritz Carlton” and “The Heart of Plam”.
The fans were so excited that they got to watch one of their favourite bands.
Next up was Primus, and the fans were ecstatic as the lights dimmed and background music started playing.
Primus came on stage one by one first Larry LaLonde came out on stage and started to play his guitar.
Then Tim Alexander walked out and sat at the drums and joined in playing.
Les Claypool quickly followed and started playing on bass and then started singing their first song of the night “Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers”
Larry LaLonde and Tim Alexander walked around the stage in the set while they were playing proceeded to play “Last Salmon Man” and “The Seven”
Tim then welcomed his fans to the show and the fans cheered then he started singing to the crowd. “What the hell’s going on here, Sydney?” And everyone cheered and said in unison “Primus sucks, Primus sucks”.
Then Tim said “Ah, the call of the wild,” and Claypool said “I think we’ve actually changed it to ‘Ler Sucks’.” The crowd laughed and then Primus proceeded to play “Groundhog’s Day” , “American Life”, “Over the Falls” and “Lee Van Cleef”.
It was obvious that everyone knew the next song which was “Too Many Puppies” as the audience started swaying along and enjoying every moment and then continued playing “Sgt. Baker” followed by “The Storm”.
The lights were flashing along to every song and each song had a different videoclip in the background on three screens which gave the night a truly unique experience.
You could tell everyone was enjoying the show listening to songs they have listened to when they were kids to recently when as there was music played from almost every album.
Primus then played “Welcome to This World”, “Mrs. Blaileen” and “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” and everyone sung and danced along. Primus then played “My Name Is Mud” and walked off stage as the lights dimmed.
The crowd started chanting one more song and Primus came back on stage and played three more songs one after the other which were “Southbound Pachyderm”, “Here Come the Bastards” and “John the Fisherman”.
To finish off a fantastic night with so meny awesome hits after being back for the first time in 10 years.
