I recall after the next song, Les being informed of and apologising for the fact that he was wrong and Slash was in fact playing on the same side. He said something like, "Well that's why you never listen to the bass player".

The best thing about this was Les was wrong and apologised later. That festival had the most amazing line up.

It's so cool,les is down to earth and funny as hell!!

Man, this Primus song is awesome.... I like the skedaddle part the best! 🎸 ... Tommy the cat is still my favorite.

Les has always been America's Sweetheart

What a gent, marvelous!

Super classy response. What a guy.

They call him mr knowitall

"Well, that's why ya never listen 2tha bass player.." Les was informed a short time later that Slash would indeed perform on the same stage and so, offered a heartfelt apology to the gentleman with the banner. It was rumored that Slash was backstage laughing his ass off whilst holding a half gallon of Jack Daniels black label.

this is why i never really took to giant festivals, if there's enough people i want to see there, there's gonna be unfortunate overlap, and I'd much more prefer to see most of them in a more intimate setting anyway, though I've def sacrificed some time to split getting to see multiple simultaneous sets.....)

Love that guy ❤

Claypool, you are the man!

What a classy thing to do!

Class act!

@@tolerants231 Right on man. I especially dig Dime and Randy. Hugely influential in their scene and I've loved their work as long as I can remember. Definitely agree on your point about Ler as well--sometimes it's not how "technically" good they are, but more about how they shape the sound of the band they're in. Primus is a perfect example of that. As for me, I fall on the jam/jazz side of things, so I'd go Jerry Garcia, Trey, and George Benson.

Interacting with the crowd is the most important part of a live show. Les nailed it. I took my old lady to a Sugarland show a while back. It was the worst live show I've ever seen. They just played a song, then another, then another and never said much of anything in between. Then THEY TOOK A BREAK MID WAY!!! It's like they didn't even want to be there and was just going though the motions so they could get out quicker.
