The members of Primus gave themselves the luxury of a 20-minute (est.) intermission in the middle of their concert. This is the first rock concert I have ever been to in which the band gave themselves a break mid-set. Intermissions are normal for stage works such as plays, operas, and ballets, but rock concerts and intermissions don’t really go hand in hand. Part of the thrill of a rock concert is that the musicians are up there slogging away at song after song with no break. You know they’re tired. They know they’re tired. Everyone knows that everyone is tired. But they keep at it anyway because the music is there and they’re having a good time.
But, if the band ended up playing longer, I'd be ok with the intermissions. Let's set the longest tolerable intermission at 30 minutes. So...
To put things in computer programmer terms:

next time skip primus and go see their non-union off-shore equvalent. they don't take a break and rock the stage on a 24-hour cycle. they're ready to rock whenever you are and at 1/3 the price.
