Go to 1:21:20 and watch for the next 60 seconds. Live music at its Apex 🎶 spoiler alert Les and Bucket play each other’s instruments as well as their own simultaneously 🧠
Zappa is more jazz this is like hard funky psychedelic rock, Bernie is more suited than Zappa for this style of music. But, Zappa would enjoy this a lot for how goofy he was.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any help you can give me!
I saw this tour In LA felt like I was watching something as amazing as Cream in the 60s it had a real special imaginative vibe . Bernie you are missed . I love all of it Pfunk to Praxis ,ain’t no party like a pfunk party cause a pfunk party don’t stop !
I'm an old dude who's seen many the musics, but this stuff is just tooo fucking much! Always loved Les n' Bernie and this group is just over the fucking top great! Jazz.....
Even if Metallikatz had picked Les I don't think it would have worked out for 3 reasons: 1. Stylistically, Les more funky and dynamic than Metallica's limited arsenal 2. Les would have ultimately been repulsed by the macho metal scene especially those shows with Guns n Roses where everyone was trying to outcool the other 3. Les own creative expressions yearning to break free but James frowns on solo projects
improvisation is the coolest thing to do as a musician, for me anyway. these guys take it to a place that has no limits , its like pushing through a level of pain or super sensitive discomfort, but if you can hang on and ride it out it gets so good to you its bliss, what a amazing group of guys doing what they can do , digging deeper than the hole has earth to dig, thats deep.
And it could also be said that Claypool has attained the pinnacle of supreme mastery of the bass guitar, perhaps the most innovative and incredible musician on that instrument out there and composing as well as still performing on stage with other very talented musicians that have also reached the rare heights of extremely talented men with total mastery of their instruments and having buckets and heads full of true talent,creativity and style...thanks for posting this amazing display of great artists and musicians..so cool
I think he ranks in the top ten of all past and current players.John Entwistle was thunder fingers,but Les Claypool is slap happy.Can slap and finger that fret board like it’s a six string guitar.
@@cahg3871 to Les, the bass is like an extension of his body. His music isn't for everyone, but no one can deny that he is one of the GOATs. Claypool is synonymous with bass guitar
I've seen several long clips from this concert, and was always blown away (by Claypool's improvised solos, particularly).. I'm so glad to see the whole concert like this (after more than a decade of watching the individual clips lol)..
I was at this show, and it is one of the top shows I've seen easily (and I've seen my share of shows to say the least). Between Ween portion and CCBBB portion, I was blown away. Thanks for the recording! I only had this bootleg on VHS before finding this.
Yup, Les and Brain are almost telepathic with their playing. Which makes sense since they've been playing together off and on since 1988 when, after the original Primus drummer Jay Lane left the band, Brain was supposed to take his place as the drummer in the band. But, he had to leave really soon after breaking his foot, and was replaced with Herb. But, Brain eventually rejoined Primus in 1996 and recorded a couple of albums with them. In addition to that, he's been in multiple side-projects with Les and has even been on a few of his solo albums. So, their playing together is absolutely next level.
I saw this band for the first time a few days ago and they managed to change my perception of music. In addition to absolute skill, they have the genius of the sound and image, capable of creating the mystery's fascination. From another world
Takes balls just to say.... hey... we’re gonna do in improvised jam session and sell tickets. Especially for a drummer. A drummer is totally naked in all this. Pretty cool.
but then it wouldn't be Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, It would just be Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Brains.. And that's just too sad.....
I was just thinking that. With their level of creativity, genius, improv skills, talent, and continuous production of avante-gade music, they should have no problem creating a new supergroup-materpiece (master'pie-ces' lol)..
@@setupdept3147 I agree that Bernie was awesome and added an amazing quality to the jam sessions here.. but as was shown in "The Ballad of Buckethead", the album "Monsters and Robots", and many different jam sessions between Claypool and Bucket; they r most definitely capable of creating a new masterpiece of an album on their own (even with a different drummer.. although Brain would be my first choice.. then Tim "Herb" Alexander, then Jay Lane, in that order lol)..
Lol.. one minute after writing "The Ballad of Buckethead" here, a kid in the audience starred yelling/requesting "BALLAD OF BUCKETHEAD!!! BALLAD OF BUCKETHEAD!!!" Lol..
Well damn at 60 years old I can never remember wanting to go to a show and do another hit of acid so bad in my life as I feel right now thank God we have RUclips to at least witness the spectacle of enjoying entertainment. 😁😎👍
fuckin nice show, cosmic jam, 'human mistakes' some times, like any good jam. Buckethead is a intergalactic musician. Only master players here, other atmosphere, other level
17:32 YESSS! Buckethead slapping his guitar with Les claypool! That feels good in my soul! Sounds a bit like the Oshawa connection for a moment. I have to learn that slap guitar solo!!!
I'm a bass player, and I pray to the altar of Les, but seeing these guys live, every time I would be watching Buckethead. Every time. I almost felt bad that I was watching him instead of Les.
comptone Yes, R.I.P. Bernie. Seen him several times with the Funk Mob, Woo Warriors and Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense. Keith Emerson, Chris Jasper and Bernie Worrell. Just break the mold man. Just break it.
I love Brain and Tim Alexander both but I think I prefer Tim with Primus and Brain with Bucket of Bernie Brains and his work on Buckethead solo stuff! The one thing I would have to say though that his drumming in Primus was stellar as well AntiPop was a phenomenal album!
With Les you get more. He's found a way with that Bass he plays, makes me swim in pools of clay.. Caught this show in Sacramento, Cal. The highest, most weirdest high I've ever experienced at a concert in all my 62yrs. 2 c i, heavy shit. Unforgettable. To top it off a CD of the show was sold. I still get uncomfortable rush running up and down my spine of icy 2CI flashbacks. Worth every lost brain cell, thanks to the burnt brain cell replacement agreement I signed with the Guys from the other side. PeaceOrElse
I am more of A FUSION GRAND PA , u know zawinul , miles ,headhunters fo the funk .For a minute we had a project band with mike clark on drums .Was great gigs for me ,just another hit for him .So i got hip to drums on the hi end and polyrhythms and the space .I love this drummer and bernie and the col .Can anyone answer this stunod question ..what type ofdrumming u call this ?... reminds me of paco serry and weather reports and syndicate drum grooves . cat is on the beat not in the pocket . really full sound for my ears .thanks in advnce

Brain's style of drumming is so syncopated and funky and yet so hard and heavy.
This is better music than 99% of what you are going to hear on the radio.
Most definitely agree on that there's nothing like hearing real music and improvising on top of it I've never seen anything like this!
I musta missed that other 1%

This is such an insane collab. Everyone is such a talent by themselves.
This is museum quality art by true artistic musicians.
I find it priceless how at 17:40 When Les starts going apeshit to Bucketheads solo, Buckethead starts playing quieter and quieter
I have watched this video a handful of times over a couple of years, this type of energy can never get old to me. Rest in peace Worrel!
I honestly probably watch it at least once a month and or perhaps even a few times more.
Marillion with Fish might come close to matching Les and bucket head.
Bernie changed my life slowly through dollar bin cassettes at Camelot
Agreed at 31 years of age!!!!!

😮My Brain is oozing out of my ears in a consistancy of luke warm Velveeta cheese due to this syncopated variety . This is a good thing!

I wish Les and Buckethead would make music together again. They're so natural together and make some funktastic shit.
No phones. Better vibe.
Thank God metallica passed on Les Claypool
Even if Metallikatz had picked Les I don't think it would have worked out for 3 reasons:

2. Les would have ultimately been repulsed by the macho metal scene especially those shows with Guns n Roses where everyone was trying to outcool the other
3. Les own creative expressions yearning to break free but James frowns on solo projects
It would have lasted about as long as 2 sessions anyway
Thanks God Ozzy passed on Buckethead too. This is where Bucket belongs. Not with Ozzy or GnR.

No matter to which time i skip in this video there's always something exceptional going on. Love it!
What I love about this is its just like a jam session ill have with my buddies on the weekend
exactly, with some joes
My ears keep telling me," Yeah, that's right. You remember that party..." So many uni jams, lost to time. This however: timeless!

I love how bernie started this jam session. Got everybody's ears primed with that intro.
Always glad to listen to a new Buckethead I haven't heard before!
Это просто шедевр. И почему я раньше их не знал и Buckethead🔥🎸👑🎸🤘
Послушай Cobra strike, C2B3 (это сейчас звучит), Praxis и Buckethead & Travis Dickerson. Ну и Primus раз Лес Клейпул тоже в кадре...
It's always amazed me how effortless Claypool makes playing the bass seem.
What do you mean? It's easy to play bass like Les. All you need is insane god-like magical powers and anyone can play this stuff, simple
I think he ranks in the top ten of all past and current players.John Entwistle was thunder fingers,but Les Claypool is slap happy.Can slap and finger that fret board like it’s a six string guitar.

Not only that but he sings while doing it. Most people just don't operate on that level of coordination.
1:21:45 i can't believe i just watched that with my own eyes
Not to mention it’s the best drop in the performance, probably of any song ever made as well lol, they all just start going ham
Yeah man that was wild!

One of the greatest bass players to ever live. Always been a fan since I saw them on bill and Ted 2.
