Maynard James Keenan’s monthlong 60th birthday celebration kicked off on Tuesday night (April 2nd) in Boston as A Perfect Circle, Primus, and Puscifer launched the “Sessanta Tour.”
The outing finds the three bands rotating on and and off the stage, with members of all three acts onstage at certain points. The 29-song setlist was divided into groups of tunes by each band.
The evening kicked off with three A Perfect Circle songs, followed by four Primus cuts and three Puscifer numbers, and continued to rotate from there.
Highlights included Keenan singing on Primus’ “Tommy the Cat,” Primus drummer Tim Alexander sitting in on A Perfect Circle’s “The Hollow,” and Primus frontman Les Claypool jamming on the set-closing Puscifer song “Grand Canyon.”
The bands also debuted all three songs from their Sessanta E.P.P.P., a newly released EP featuring new tracks from each act.
The “Sessanta Tour” continues through a May 4th concert at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, and includes an April 17th gig in Phoenix on Keenan’s actual birthday. Tickets to the remaining shows are available here.
