Les Claypool and company stormed the Pageant and rocked a sold-out house with huge inflatable astronauts, a psychedelic lighting treatment, and Claypool's signature, funky bass lines driving the performance.

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D700
  • Nikon D7000

Lenses Used:

Lighting. Ouch. There was barely a drop of pure white light on the band members in the first three songs for Primus, but there was plenty of all the other colors in the rainbow washing over the stage.

Still, for all the wild lighting treatment at work, this show was still a blast. Even with the tricky lighting and weird sight lines due to monitors, the band members didn't move much during the first three songs which made things manageable.
