Buckethead - Soothsayer @ The Fillmore - 10/6/23

[@traviesoarcefan3063]

Seeing Buckethead live someday is most definitely on my bucket list! ❤🐔 ❤

[@kawythowy867]

Nice👍🏻mine too

[@daveherakovich9453]

Outstanding!!! This dude put his life into his work and you can't miss it!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@bill_y4762]

Stuff like this is why Dave Mustaine said in an interview when they asked him what he thought of the Slash/ Buckethead “feud”….”Buckethead is probably a better guitarist than both of us put together “! (and that comment from. dude who’s given about 2 compliments in his lifetime)

[@Samurai78420]

You obviously know your shit, Brother. After playing for over 3 decades, Brian and Slash are on my huge influence list. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know there was any issues between them. I will say tho, both of them are like fingerprints. They couldn't possibly be much more different than one another. Kinda bummed because they're both incredible in their own ways

[@bill_y4762]

@@Samurai78420 I think it was just slash originally talking some shit because Bucket replaced him in GnR. But he seems to have come around, last interview i heard with him he was complimenting Buckethead on his solos on Chinese democracy which is fair. There are some damn tasty solos on that record. Originally he had said buckethead was “more of a shedder”… or something to that effect. Which is also fair but i think buckethead is one of those rare shredders who stays incredibly melodic and musical.

[@nickm2483]

And those other 2 compliments he has given out we’re probably about himself!

[@bill_y4762]

@@nickm2483 lol…. you know Mustaine well

God that bend at 3:59 is heavenly. His phrasing this entire performance of Soothsayer is my favorite yet. Thanks so much for uploading this.

4:06-4:16 SIMPLY amazing!!! I Part of my soul would be lost without Bucket!

[@Therevolution7]

Glad im not the only one who feels that way, this part is so unique and nostalgic sounding

[@Vortigan07]

Absolutely!! That was just beautiful wasn't it!!

[@mikekerns3774]

One of my favorite songs ever! He wrote this song for his Aunt that bought him his first guitar. She passed away and he wrote this for her. Wow what a memorial!!

[@cracktower3613]

Thanks Mike 🍀 some good info. Goodnight 🎼🌎💕

[@scumbojeejo1142]

Soothsayer, Aunt Suzie, and Sail on Soothsayer are all amazing tributes to his aunt and incriedible songs. The fact that every live version of Soothsayer is different and still amazing every time blows my mind. Long live the G.O.A.T!

Buckethead, Terry Kath, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, AL Demeola, Leo Kotke, and a bunch of others across all disciplines.

​@stevecraig6350 Allan Holdsworth being the cream of the crop. Shawn Lane even says so!

[@ricksanchezito8972]

​@@MrFritz6940 Buckethead is on another level. Holdsworth can play, but his music is boring. Just my opinion.

[@thechamp0338]

Screw there “list”, Buckethead is always overlooked because of his look and lack of exposure, he’s a beast and at the top of my list

[@farwoodfarm9296]

I’ve never heard the Chicken king play a bad version of this song but this one is exceptional. Thanks for sharing.

[@shquankinket8068]

this is my favorite live version by far. he added a ton of cool licks and motifs to this one holy shit

[@msbloodryane3897]

@@tamastoth6318 not really I just filled more into it. Brian isn't just a wizard lol. A wizard can be beat. He can't which means he's far better than a wizard will ever be even for his age. Still amazing.

[@jaymizzy37]

History says he'll take it off one day, sooner or later. Look at KISS all of a sudden in the height of their fame..... whoosh, butt naked faces. The Gorillaz finally showed themselves on a talk show or something like that late night I do believe as well. Patience young grasshopper san

Thank You. At 74 years young, you a blessing to me. Grateful for your gifts to us all.

[@JesseJames-wj8ft]

Wow epic rendition, don't think I have heard so many variations in any other performance. This just confirms that, along with blazing scale runs and shredding, he is a master improviser, and that is a large part of what makes listening to his playing so enjoyable, rarely ever the same thing twice. He actually messes up around the 7:54 mark and is completely off scale, I think he was just simply a fret too low from where he wanted to be. He recovers quick and, among that insane barrage of notes, most likely very few even noticed - A lot easier to cover up a goof on electric than acoustic in any case.

[@chrisdarkly]

I often wonder how much Buckethead improvises on stage. This was outstanding as usual but fairly different from other live versions as well as from the studio version. I wish, wish, wish he would publish a live show recorded from the soundboard. The boomy bass and the treble cutting in and out in this recording were a bummer.

[@M3Vader]
