Hi Folks,
Who can direct me to a clip of V. W. at his wanking best?
I got into a disagreement last night at a party with someone who worships at the feet of His Holiness, Victor Wooten. She was a hot chick and we were flirting, so I provoked her with the exaggeration that Wooten's a wanker. 
Next step: I'm going to send her a URL for a clip of Wooten going over the top and playing waaaaaay too many notes. If I'm lucky, I'll get a juicy slap in the face for my troubles.
*disclaimer* I have only the highest respect for V. W.
Thanks.

Yeah, but it's not all that great.... way too much emphasis here on prog. The Byrds couldn't book a gig, even if they played for free.
Anybody want to help me get under this girl's skin?

Every time I've seen him live he'll throw in a crazy slap thing at just the right time for just the right amount of time---People don't seem to understand just how much control Victor has when it comes to entertaining a crowd---That's probably the most important aspect of his shows |

There's no question in my mind about VW's stage supremacy. But there has to be a clip out there that would make even the boys in Rush say: puulllllleeeeeeezzz!

Personally, I love his solo stuff for what it is. He's a genius, really. But within the context of a band format, I find him surprisingly average. |

If no one can suggest a video, does anybody have any other ideas?

this is a long video, and I think it's fantastic, but there is definitely some stuff you may find useful.
if this works for your plan, and you nab this girl, you take her and her hottest friend down to NY and I get first pick.
