Hallucino-Genetics is the first concert DVD from Primus, released in October 2004. The show was filmed on June 26, 2004 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, the band's last show of their 2004 tour.

Hallucino-Genetics features the original recording lineup of the band (not, however, the line-up that resurfaced as the band Sausage) performing for over two and a half hours in two sets; the second of which features the band playing their first studio album Frizzle Fry in its entirety, interspersed with the improvised "Drum and Whamola Jam".

Included in this recording is Claypool's controversial statement that he had previously repeated at numerous shows throughout the 2004 tour, "I think you should leave the theatre right now, go to your local cinema, and see Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. You will become a better human being." This political sentiment, stated just before the track "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" was played, divided Primus' fanbase.
