I just saw Colnel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains live and it was the best thing in the world. They were incredibly fast, energetic and wild. Les Claypool went through about five different masks that night. He wore a monkey mask when he pulled out his one string bass, and jumped around like a monkey. Buckethead broke out into the Star Wars theme song in the middle of his solo, plus song from Willy Wonka and the like. Bernie was wild on the keyboard and had a ten minute solo before the band even took stage. Brains pulled out a six minute drum solo, moving so fast I could barely see his drumstix move (btw I could see les claypool's hands and brains, but some guy nfront of me was so tall i could barely see buckethead's hands). It was wild.
Thier opener Gabby Lala was awesome. She played sitar, toy piano and ukalaili. She sang hillarious songs. She was even joined by les and brains durring a few of her songs (and as respectful musicians they didn't do anything to take her spotlite away). The best part was she even joined them in some of thier songs, both singing and with the sitar.
That was a crazy concert. The worst part was (besides the potheads lighting up all around us) was my friend convinced me that the concert in a formal setting, so I wore a suit and tie all the way to Boston (3 hours south)! It was awesome though, and I'd gladly do it again. (Even in that suit)
