Puscifer

The Sessanta show for Maynard Keenan’s 60th birthday was a show to remember. Puscifer, A Perfect Circle and Primus put on a great show. There was only a short intermission (less than 10 minutes) during a three hour show that included a 29 song setlist. The rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the bands or the crowd. My wife and I had a great time at one of the best places in America to see a concert, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

The venue was amazing and small enough to give a more intimate feel. The concrete seats got a bit uncomfortable, but with a small cushion it was tolerable. The concession stand was organized and quick to get all the food and beverages. The only complaint was the merchandise line, which was none like I have ever experience. Not enough room for the waiting or the sales. Maybe an additional tent at the entrance for additional service since even when the line was the shortest, it still took 45 minutes to be served.

I really liked the music and the show; however, I'm not a fan of Maynard James Keenan's policy about photography or filming his shows. Nothing personal, but he and the event hosts need to realize that that's the price you pay for having technology in the world, and he needs to learn to live with that. Other than that, the tickets were EXTREMELY overpriced for the seat I got, which was $325.00 for a seat a row away from the nosebleeds, so I feel like I got ripped off. Oh, and a 6'7" Motambo guy that wouldn't stop leaning and obstructing my view, and everytime I would lean the other way, he'd lean in front of me again. Other than that the show was okay.

The Hollywood Bowl was a fantastic venue! Puscifer, Primus, and A Perfect Circle were absolutely amazing. Puscifer was awesome, (HBD) Carina Round and Maynard were great, loved the songs fabulous, Les Claypool is such an amazing bassist, best songs were My Name is Mud and Tommy the they played. APC was polished, I loved Billy Howerdel, what a dynamic guitar player. Primus was Cat! So fun. The crowd went wild when Justin Adam and Danny came on and played Anemia with Maynard. Loved it. (We saw Tool in January at the Toyota Sports Arena in Ontario California and that was not a dismal show, Maynard was sick, so last night Anemia made up for it). Grand Canyon (one of my Favorites) ended the night. I love this song of Hope...I hope Maynard James and his collaborative efforts continue.

Never seen them or heard them until tonight at Manchester Academy, but do like Tool and A Perfect Circle + my son likes them, so I went. First half was an. at the audience. Backdrop "cartoon" with Maynard babbling no essence in the same staccato way that Max Headroom used to do, many years ago. Very theatrical.. Bloody boring! Eventually that phase of the show ended with all of them leaving the stage. I was tempted to leave, but thought I'd give them another 10 mins first. BIG CHANGE, Less of the silly MIB stuff ans into a set more like Tool and was Excellent, culminating in Maynard letting anyone who wanted to use cell phones to film the last song " Bedlamite", ending the starting edict that '"no phones could be used during the show.

Pusifer were everything I expected and more. Their performance was top class and the video interludes of Maynard rambling gave some insight into the mad genius of the man. I like the Olympia as a venue and the sound was excellent for Pusifer and Nightclub, their support act. Pusifer has a no-camera policy, which was strictly enforced until the last song when Maynard allowed it. Same as TooL when I saw them last. I fully agree with this policy but I was a little pissed when I was approached to put my phone away while reading the news in the period between acts when the house lights were on. Minor gripe, I know. I had a bigger problem with the 4-5 women behind me who when they weren't talking, were screaming at every move Maynard made or trying to squawk the lyrics. I can't understand why people can't enjoy the show and more importantly, allow others to enjoy the show. If they wanted to talk, why not stay in a bar? Pusifer 10/10 Olympia 9/10 Painful women 0/10

The Performance was good, it was a little repetitive, I thought I might see something new and different but I didn’t feel like I did. I love the music I love the energy, it would’ve been nice to hear some of the older songs, I was a little disappointed to not hear vagina mine or Dozo. But overall I’m gonna give four stars because it was a good performance and they did a really great job of getting set up really fast after the rain delay

Puscifer is not so much a rock concert but a Rock Opera/Broadway Musical/Multimedia mashup. Carina, Maynard, Matt, Gunnar, and that anonymous bass player embody different characters from the band's albums. They have a serious story to tell but don't take themselves too seriously. The set list fluctuates slightly depending on the night, but you can count on hearing all but "A Singularity" from the 2020 album "Existential Reckoning." Mix in some old favorites like "The Humbling River," "Momma Sed," "Indigo Children," and "Vagina Mine." Oh, and one hell of a version of "Conditions of my Parole." If you are a fan of the band, you owe it to yourself to go see them live! If you are a fan of Maynard from Tool, check them out; just don't be a d!ck and spend the evening shouting, "Stinkfist! Play Stinkfist."

It's so nice to see great bands in Fort Worth. Puscifer is in many ways a niche band led by probably the best and most famous vocalist of the last 30 years, Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle. When MJK sings in Tool, he is on risers in line with the drummer Danny Carey and mostly in Shadow, the same is true of APC. But in Puscifer, MJK, surrounded by an ensemble of to rate artists is front and center although in disquises all along in this tour. This tour, the band are all Cia like Special Agents in search of clones and aliens. There are 2 intermissions during which "Agent Dick Merkin" explains the relationships between clones like hide Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber are actually the same person and his Plasmatics singer Wendy O is now a Trans man named Maynard James Herbert Keenan "who gained a dick, but also sadly, became one". The short films are pretty hilarious. Puscifer is hard to explain. It's performance art, it's evocative music and lyrics and its 2 phenomenal singers who enjoy singing together and creating these fabulous sonic musical blends of electronic instruments, glorious harmonies, and great drum and bass players holding it all together. On this trip through Fort Worth they had an opening act named Night Club, which is an adorable goth young lady singing and a man doing dj duties. They were excellent, a great improvement over Dallas' dismal opener Moodie Black who treated those in the first row to her testicles under her skirt. I had an unfortunate close up view from the front row that she (a trans female) eschewed underwear. Night Club is very much in the vein of Nine Inch Nails, goth hard rock to a rave disco beat. Puscifer is on an extended tour over the winter and will come to a city near you. Please go, it's a great evening.

It isn’t just a show it’s an experience. Saw two shows on the tour already, Greek in LA and Arlene Schnitzer in Portland and both shows were unique and fantastic. Looking forward to seeing a third show in Reno in November to wrap up my own personal tour trilogy. If you haven’t been to experience Puscifer, do it. It’s a journey from the moment Agent Dick Merkin Steps onstage to express his musings till the third act strikes and Billy D finishes you off by getting the crowd going before putting them to bed slowly. Bedlamite.

Absolutely one of the best shows I’ve attended and I’ve seen a few in my day!! It was Hilarious it was on point Carina and the rest of the Band sounded sooooo great! I drove 5 hrs to see them and I will drive it again even if gas prices are 8$ a gallon lol but thanks Puscifer and Kiva and everyone involved in making this event one I will never forget! Just put a show out on DVD so we can go back and relive the night again!!!

This was by far the best show that I have ever attended. It was powerful, fun, well put together and overall an amazing experience! The band was quite clear about no recording or phone usage or you would be ejected from the venue (and possibly ground into SPAM once outside). I know some will complain about this policy however I feel the lack of people holding up bright screens, trying to record the entire show and flashes going off everywhere, allowed you to really just live in the moment and enjoy the show as it was meant to be seen.

This was my first Puscifer concert. I had an incredible time. The energy from the performers was excellent. Performance art at its finest along with talented musicians makes for a very entertaining night. The highlight for me was when they played Momma Sed. I had been hoping for that song since I had bought the tickets. All my friends told me, They won't play that song. But they did! It was absolutely top notch and exactly what my soul needed. Thank you, Puscifer!!

WOW! If you missed it, you really missed it. Puscifer's performance at Mission Ballroom in Denver was ABSOLUTELY unforgettable. Stage presence, technical execution, content of the show...it was amazing. I laughed, got real life goose bumps and stood the entire show. This was true entertainmemt. BRAV-FUCKING-O!!!! This was also my first experience at Mission Ballroom, what a fantastic venue. Sound quality was tip-top. Thank you, Puscifer and Crew, for one of THE BEST live performances I have ever had the pleasure of seeing!!!

The show was very entertaining and Maynard always puts on a hell of a show. Puscifer is different than his other groups though, and it was a great experience, because they incorporate a few different forms of entertainment into their show. I highly recommend seeing them live. Stage AE is also a smaller venue which made it a different experience from the huge arena shows. I would go see Puscifer again in a second!

Wow times a thousand!!! I had the most amazing time. The first opening act was garbage, but the second opening act took my breath away. Billy Howerdel, tall, gorgeous and so talented. I needed my drool bucket, he is stunning..Wow!!!! Maynard oh Maynard how amazing you are!!!! You radiate talent and you emanate perfection every time you sing. This was my first time seeing Puscifer, and they were amazing!!!! Carina, your voice is like an angel. Matt, you're so talented. The whole show was genius. Everything about the venue was flawless. I loved being so close to the stage. I made a fool of myself professing my love for Maynand, several times but I think he is the greatest in the world. I wish the venue had more food options, and the smell of nicotine/ other types of smoke was annoying. I had a wonderful time. I got the Upgrade package so I got early entry to the venue and I got to buy all the stuff I wanted before the crowds came in. Everything was fantastic. I loved the show, and I cannot wait to see Maynard again.

Puscifer were amazing I'm glad they came back to Albuquerque, New Mexico as it was only their 2nd time playing here in the history of the band!! The setlist was phenomenal my wife and I had a blast not to mention we were extremely stoked to get one of the posters and some of the tour shirts I highly recommend this tour!!

The Luchador's show was amazing, and Puscifer, of course, was amazing as well. I especially loved that they played older songs and rocked it a bit more than the 'Conditions of My Parole' tour. Nothing short of perfect by the band, and both Maynard and Corina's voices were gorgeous. No complaints here. And no pix either, as much as I wanted to, I respected their wishes.

Incredible show! So unique and genuinely weird. I think it's meant to reflect how weird and unpredictable life is. The 3.5 score is because I think there's room for improvement, but no one has ever done what they're doing on stage. Quite an experience. "Undertaker" was incredible! They slowed it down a ton toward the end and it just ROCKED me to my core.

I love Maynard, and get that he is quirky - but this was pretty awkward. Great performances of mostly songs off Money Shot, but having only released the album a few days before, no one was familiar with the material which led to an awkward stillness in the crowd with no one singing along or shaking their fists in the air. They played a couple 'classics', but no 'oldies'. There was Lucha Libre and Mechanical Cock Fighting, and a surprising amount of MJK's giant face on the screen staring through his cop glasses. The opening band was an all Spanish, and apparently well known Latin band. Overall good show, but wierd.
