This live version of Buckethead's "Soothsayer "(Dedicated To Aunt Suzie) was luckily recorded in Raleigh , North Carolina at Lincoln Theater on May 13, 2016. Buckethead was probably in the best technical form of his life and his chops reflect his preparation for this tour. He was playing like he was at war and wanted to prove his place among the top-tier of the top-tier of all guitarist.
I took my two sons, Jackson & Robert and luckily got right on the front row to take pictures and record. I had a canon s100 that I got the cover photo of this video from and was told by the boys the next song was Soothsayer.
I was using a Razor Max by Android and had no idea if the video would turn out ok or if the audio would be blown-out. I handed the phone to Robert on the way home and asked him to check if the videos taken were any good. He replied "Wow, these are pristine!" I uploaded them immediately upon getting home and posted online. Musicradar.com shared along with ultimateguitar.com and it went viral soon after.
Soothsayer is the 6th track from the Buckethead album "Crime Slunk Scene" is the eighteenth studio album by Buckethead, and his fourth tour-only album. It was originally only sold on his 2006 tour, but was later made available on Travis Dickerson's record label TDRS music, until it eventually went out of print.
I had seen Buckethead years earlier at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach with Pinchface on drums. One thin was really obvious, he'd really evolved as a showman, and his chops have improved , if that's even possible. It's nobody's business "ranking" guitarist by talent or skill, because it's an unwinnable argument.
As a guitarist of 37 years, I can't think of a guitarist/artist/musician/entertainer that keeps getting better, heavier, more melodic, and advancing the art guitar wizardry like Mr. Buckethead. He's the Steph Curry of guitar right now.
Also, I never dreamed while listening to Praxis, DeathCubeK, & Bucketheadland in 1995 that 21 years later, me and my 2 teenage sons would all get to be front-row and get to tap the coveted- red-arcade kill switch on his guitar during the show! What an honor! \m/\m/ Raleigh , North Carolina 5/13/2016
