Alternative metal oddballs Primus rolled out a cover of the signature track of the late great Ronnie James Dio onstage during their August 10th performance at Tags Summer Stage in Big Flats, NY. The multi-platinum trio invited their current tour opener Puddles Pity Party onstage to front that rendition, with fan-filmed footage available below.
Puddles Pity Party replaced Fishbone on Primus‘s ongoing co-headlining run with celebrated prog rockers Coheed And Cambria. This live pairing of Primus and Puddles is a continuation of a familial vibe the aforementioned tour has already been fostering.
Previous stops have already seen Coheed And Cambria vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez taking to assisting Primus with their version of Rush‘s 1977 cut “Cygnus X-1“. Fan-filmed footage of both of these recent renditions can be found below. The remaining itinerary for Primus‘ summer tour shapes up as follows.
