Sno-Core '98 review

by Umen909.

Asbury Convention Centre, Asbury Park, NJ. March 15, 1998.


Primus hasnt been to jersey in 5 years since Lollapalooza '93. This was the first performance since. Tonight they hit town at convention hall with the Sno-core. First up was some ska band. Me and my friend just stood there. Then came the alkoholics, they were a bit funny, they blew up a big beer bottle on the stage that was cool. other than the drinking contest they had there set was bearable. Then came the annoying blink 182. All you could see was girls ages 13-16 flying threw there so called pit. It really pissed me off. But what they didnt know what to expect next. On a funny note of blink 182, one of them had a birthday and the group smashed wipped cream in his face that was funny.

Then PRIMUS entered the building, they started out with a furious old song and a favorite of mine SEAS OF CHEESE, then into JOHN THE FISHERMAN, followed by HERE COME THE BASTARDS, and the rest in no particular order:

FRIZZLE FRY
TOMMY THE CAT
KALAMAZOO
BOB'S PARTY TIME LOUNGE
THE DUCHESS
MY NAME IS MUD
NATURE BOY
THOSE DAMN BLUE COLLAR TWEEKERS
SHAKE HANDS WITH BEEF
JERRY WAS A RACE CAR DRIVER

Brian did a solo with the turntablist of the Alokoholics,. Les told a story about is Uncle Al otherwise known now as Angel AL. Ler was just Ler as usual, by my opinion his was piss drunk. But still played like a champion. Les sang some of south park which the jersey crowd knew shit about. It was not a sold out crowd, but this is jersey so please excuse us for not having Primus in 5 years. Well im brused and drunk right now so im tired so I now must prepare to see them in there last show tomorrow at Roseland.
