Primus played a benefit concert at the Belasco in Los Angeles on (April 17) with support from Tool (Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor) and Queens of the Stone Age (Troy Van Leeuwen).
The musicians played a total of 10 tracks. Proceeds will benefit Canadian director and writer Jimmy Hayward (Toy Story, Finding Nemo), who is currently undergoing cancer treatment. The filmmaker is a close friend of the members of Primus.
While Primus performed six of their own songs, there were also several covers. Highlights included Tool’s “Ænema” and a drum duel between Carey and Primus’ Tim Alexander. Both fought a crazy duel with a hardcore version of Led Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick”.
Other covers included King Crimson’s “Thela Hun Ginjeet” and AC/DC’s “Whole Lotta Rosie.”
