Buckethead

What’s now a few months ago -hard to believe- was something I’m kind of regretting having not blogged about sooner. I was lucky enough to catch my favorite guitarist Buckethead, play live at the Madison. What’s even more important was the fact I managed to catch my favorite guitarist live, with Kristine.

I know I’ve told the story before that Kristine and I had apparently seen Buckethead the same night, in front of the same stage in the same area of the venue. In what we found out was just a mere twenty feet, we had both been seeing the same show just a few short months before we met. It’s always been one of our favorite little details of our relationship.

But finally we got to go as a couple, which, can really change the dynamic of seeing live music. For instance, seeing Iron Maiden live was more enjoyable for the sake of seeing my friend Jake happy, than it actually was seeing Iron Maiden.

In a similar experience for that night, just being able to share a passion, and just having somebody as interested in something as you are is so important. So I really have nothing to say about the show that you wouldn’t already imagine, or that I didn’t cover the first time I saw him live. He plays great, he puts on a great show, and it’s always magic.

But what really made this show great, was the company. I just hope that I never lose the ability to enjoy doing or seeing something for the sake of my company than just for the entertainment value of the event alone. I’ve found out more than ever in the last year that people around me are my most important asset. So seeing them happy, is starting to really make me happy.
