So I finally saw Victor with the Flecktones last night, and it was f*cking mind-blowing. Most of the reservations I had about the show itself were misjudged, there really was a lot you could hold onto in a lot of the music. There were some 'free' sections that I could have lived without seeing, but the rest of it more than made up for it.

I took a lot of little videos on my phone (audio is discernible, video is bearable (for me anyway)), so here are Victor's main solos. The first one is his big solo, he played The Vision, Norwegian Wood and some of the stuff he did on Bass Day 2002.

The second video is his solo in Sinister Minister (encore), when the band buggered off (except Futureman, who you can't really hear on the video...). He does some crazy *** neck-bending harmonic type things in it, which are interesting in small doses (which he delivered them in). Note Silly Putty and School Days in.

And for good measure...

They're from the support band 'Uncle Earl'. They joined them for one song I think. It was nice to have vocals actually for a part of it.

The Flecktones were one of the better concerts i've been too. Them, Keller Williams, and the Yonder Mountain String Band...what a show.

lol my dad saw the AWB at montreux in '77


Sounds like you had fun at the show, though.

I really want to see them live sometime. I saw one of their concerts on tv, it was awesome.

That solo in Sinister Minister was absolutley brilliant. One of his better solos that I've seen. He's definitley just gettnig better and better through time.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

Victor Wooten looks so damn goofy.

[Woodstockington]

He definitely knows his way around a bass though

[d-basser]

I saw them in glasgow too! jaw-droppingly awesome! Uncle earl were quite good tp

[Left Shoe]

that was damn good

[bass&cookies]

:angry:...
they were here friday night, but i couldn't make it.

That would have been quite a show, and it was a small venue, making it likely that i could have met with wooten after the show:upset:
