I saw Primus live around 5 times. They ARE a mosh pit band. When “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver” came out and they came to our city, it was the 2nd song and Les said “we wrote this song a few minutes ago, hope you like it”.
I never saw this in more than a 500 shows I went to: people were actually JUMPING from the seating area to go into the floor / mosh pit. First and only time in my life I witnessed it. Funny part was how to get back to their seats haha
I’ll check out Oysterhead. If that’s the same Stewart Copeland from the Police, Im in..
During "Indians," they stopped the song midway through, and told the crowd basically that they are in Yankee Stadium, and when they slow the song down in the middle section and scream "war dance!" they expect a Bronx mosh pit of ginormous proportions.
So, they started the middle section again, and sure enoug, their fans delivered a mosh pit like I've never seen before and - if we become a nation of permanent mask-wearing pantywaists - probably will never see again. There are some videos on YouTube but they don't convey the full effect.
If you're a Stewart Copeland fan, also be sure to checkout "Animal Logic" (Animal Logic 2.) It featured Stanley Clarke (the bass legend) and Deborah Holland on vocals. I always thought the first album was better than the second, but both are fantastic.
