I've seen Buckethead before, but I would have to say this his most high-energy show I've seen yet. He did a lot more of his shred-heavy songs than any of his calmer songs. The background movie playing during the whole show went perfectly with his music.
Fantastic show. absolutely the best. can't waite to see him again...
After a near 2 year absence, Mr. Buckethead is Back! Yes, he's better than ever! He was in great form, playing many of his classics and throwing in a few new numbers. He played with backing tracks, as has been the case of most of his shows. (I would love to see him with a live musician or 3 !!) He had a giant robot video as a light show/backdrop which worked well. New amps w/ a Marshall & Bogner this time. His sound was incredible and very well controlled. The range of tone is just as amazing as his technical prowess! Simply unbelievable! He seemed to be in a very good mood and feeling well as he played from one side of the stage to the other, danced and handed out gifts like the gentle giant robotic Santa Claus that he is. His performance took me from heights of ecstasy to deep emotions with tears streaming down my face. A great night of music!
Buckethead live is a whole different experience. Totally worth it, and not too expensive either.
They did rebuild him and he is back and better than before, better, faster, stronger..
What can I say? The show was simply amazing from start to finish. I left wanting to play my guitar a lot more--and also got this strange craving for fried chicken. Buckethead, you are a mad genius.
To be honest,,the guy wolff who came out before Buckethead was torture.complete torture.Someone else should have opened for the GOD buckethead..Getting to Buckethead..it was the best performance i ever seen in my life.I feel no one can ever compete with him.Im lost for words on how insane Buckethead was.That was my first time seeing him live and definitly wont be the last.I had goose bumps the whole time he was on stage.flawless.
I've seen Buckethead several times over the years, and this year's performance did not dissapoint. He seemed comfortable and more confident than ever (though it can be a little difficult to tell, considering the mask). He played mostly familiar songs, which was great. I'm going to see him again this Wednesday in Philly, and we're psyched! Sound at BB Kings was good, though it was very warm inside--the air conditioner apparently was not working well. He played for about an hour and a half. Very good show as always.
The venue itself was ok, you had to get there really early to get a spot where people wouldn't block your view, or you wouldn't be behind a pole, but other than that, it's nice and small, so it's really personal, I was able to see Buckethead's fingers moving even though I wasn't right by the stage. He's a great performer and so talented. I would recommend anyone with an appreciation for serious guitar skills go check him out.
Great to see Buckethead for the second time, I really enjoy his guitar palying, sound and tone.....he is truly one of the greatest and unusual guitarist of our time.
After an impolitely long make-the-audience-wait (even in rock terms) following the opening Wolff and Tuba, Buckethead hit the stage and started with a concert version of Night of the Slunk from Monsters and Robots. On both side of the stage battle scenes from a late 60's Japanese TV series Johnny and his flying robot were projected throughout more than the half of the show. Buckethead writes a wide variety of music. I was a little disappointed that the diversity of his work was not reflected in the show. Traditionally, around half time, the show was interrupted by a brief nunchaku kata and toy distribution session. This break was followed by a very fast but not extremely impressive slap-bass session. Soothsayer, one of my favorite songs was played near to the end. Despite hitting some false notes and getting tangled in the faster phrases sometimes, the show was terrific and memorable.
The club needs better air conditioning. The artist must have have been way over heated.
Great show, Buckethead is an amazing musician and performer!
Sick show, Bucket Head is a Master at his Craft! The greatest performance i've ever witnessed! Come back to NyC Bucket Head, Drinks on me, Aaaaaaaoooooowww! Lol
Although I give this performance 5 stars for me, I realize Buckethead isn't everyone's cup of tea. However, if you're a guitar player or an enthusiast of same, do not miss this show! He's absolutely the fastest player alive and he puts on a helluva fun show, to boot. After all, what do you have to lose? Tickets were an outrageously low price of 26 bucks! Binge on!
Giant Robot in the background added amazement. We could not get our eyes off the stage and projections screens as Buckethead looked on.
I will say upfront that the only problem with the the performance was that it wasn't 5 hours long. I am a huge fan of Buckethead and was somewhat disappointed that more of his material and musical prowess was not explored during the show. Acoustic/ballad songs were not well represented and there was not too much experimental/avant-garde type songs either. However, I was more than pleased with the showing of progressive and avant-garde metal that was showcased. The performance was nearly flawless. The song selection was magnificent. Buckethead commanded respect with his mere presence. His antics were executed with skill and were nothing short of impressive. These gave the show a tone that ranged from comedic to psychedelic to horrifying. In summary, Buckethead brought everything that was to be expected from the dexterous and perfectionist guitarist. The chicken-man with no face and fingers like legs did not disappoint.
One if the best concerts I've ever seen. Buckethead knows how to keep the crowd entertained. An the toy exchange was a unique touch, you don't really see that to often.
Incredible show with a great audience ... The man was on fire and as always extremely entertaining. If you've not seen Buckethead play live you are missing out on a true legend of our time ... Catch him before he goes into hiding . Kudos to BB Kings sound engineers for a great mix and perfect listening level- made this event even more enjoyable .
The show was pretty much what I was expecting. Buckethead plays with a pre-recorded backing band which actually works perfectly because everyone is there to see this guitar genius at work and not really anyone else. Its mesmerizing to watch and hear this mans guitar playing. The venue was small; it was like being in Buckets basement with a couple hundred friends which made it that much more intimate. Wish I had gotten there earlier to be up close but like I said, BB Kings is small so you really are not too far from the stage at any spot. I just got into Buckethead this year and have become a HUGE fan..I like just about all his stuff save the Bucketlheadland sounding material.
