Def hitting the Mission Ballroom date

Fingers crossed for a live album. And some dates in Europe ffs.

Even if I don't buy a ticket, I can hang out in the park across the street and listen to the whole thing. I love the venue they are playing. It's where I saw Trey play an acoustic Ripple on the 10th anniversary of Jerry's passing. I was standing about 10 feet from him when he played it.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird to cover another band's record every night for an entire tour?

I mean unless you're DSO or something, but just seems like kind of a bad look to turn your established band into a tribute act.

"We settled on Kings, because A) it was the first Rush record I ever heard and B) it contains 'Cygnus X-1,' which has always been my favorite Rush tune," Claypool told Rolling Stone. "It seems to be a good one for us to tackle; 2112 seemed a little obvious." Primus recently added a cover of "Cygnus X-1" to their sets.

Remember the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tour? Yeah, I know they added their signature Primus touch to that one, but still. O, and the Animals tour with the Frog Brigade...

Animals. Yes. I loved that show. They absolutely tore it up. Nobody left that show thinking "tribute band."

That Animals tour was AMAZING!!! So glad I got to catch The Frog Brigade on that tour.

Indeed. Used it as my ringtone for awhile. Also: great lyrics.
