Unbelievable. I was just watching Traffic '94, and then this popped up! Aug. 2022! Wow they're back!
Praxis- I didn't even know any video was available of them. I have every album! The best funk progressive rock out there.

Is Bill Laswell okay? BH & Brain were on point, but Bill just seems to be just sitting there. I hope he's okay. I've been a fan of his for 30 years.

Stood right next to whoever videoed this lol. The best was when they couldn't get his audio right and he was like "fuck it, ill fix it myself" then went off shortly after. Great show, sad it ended early for some reason.

Epic always looked up to bucket for last 20 years admired such a talent at the skill. Amazing. Great showmanship also. Great they did this group. Great knows great. From good to great (good, real good, great, master, legend) legends on many. The journey continues. Wish they could add one more and a legendary singer for a one album onetour mega thing. Maybe Alex rose, and the guy from 9ince nails and Dr Dre or lil Wayne I dunno, maybe Lee Anne rymes for a country tune. I dunno it's going to just get better. Stay healthy. And meditate. Love your life. Yolo. Peace be with you. 🕊️

[nikkihodges]

My Buckethead! All Buckethead all the time better than Love

[notjackstephens]

Lowkey disappointed he didn't play soothsayer either day, Bill wasn't ok but would've loved to witness that. Does anyone know if he's ever playing live again?

[idelerboogeyman]

No dudo de su talento y trayectoria pero Bill cuando lo enfocan no toca... como hace???

[Pedroleum]

That song at 11:25 is _Interface/Stimulation Loop_ which featured Bootsy Collins on bass when it was recorded in the studio. Too bad Buckethead has to play the slap bass part on the guitar now. I'd love to see the original guitar/bass interaction from the studio on stage.

[hecbiz]

Does anyone know what those red dots on Buckethead's guitar are exactly?

[marcbolan]

Bucket's bucket looks a bit battered :-)

[Nenêmemes.]

KISS_ God of thunder Fuck, very nice Bucket I Love two...

It’s strange that people use the word “praxis” in such a cavalier way. It’s almost as if someone is trying to delegitimize the word on purpose. Lots of words get denigrated for political reasons these days. Being “earnest” isn’t cool. “trustworthy?”? Also not cool. Nothing white is cool. But “sick” is cool. And “dog” is cool, if you’re referring to another person.

Ho? Very cool.

The word “praxis” refers to the process of converting thought into action. So it could also be thought of as going from moral thoughts to ethical outcomes.

And that’s the problem. There shouldn’t be three different words for moral flow. Somebody needs to coin a phrase which combines “moral-ethical-outcome” into a single word.

That way, people could talk about a complex situation as a single event. So if people are discussing a dispute, then a flow-tag would indicate the moral-ethical-outcome philosophy of each person (or group) involved.

Some people are mostly concerned with the principal of the matter, some with the actions taken, and some with the outcomes achieved.

For example, government bullshitters usually accomplish nothing, at great expense. They operate on principal. Armies love physical movement, so they’re concerned with ethics. Private employers have bills to pay, so they focus on outcomes. (But perhaps not enough on morals and ethics.)

So there could be a dozen words going from one extreme to the other. “Very Moral - No Outcomes” to “Immoral - Fixed Outcomes”.

With the correct adjective, it would be possible to indicate someone’s way of life.

Maybe the words could be taken from Greek and Roman Mythology. There’s a good book called “Gods and Heroes” by Korwin Briggs. But it would probably be better to use only Roman Gods for English.
