Victor's a great player! It's cool that you got a chance to see him live.

The Wootens are from my area...so Vic blew me away when he was still a young teen (& me being a late teen...I had problems with that!)
Then, a period elapsed of not seeing/hearing him...then The Flecktones came on the scene (w/ a Lonesome Pine TV Show &, believe it or not, VH-1 played their "Sinister Minister" video & local/cool FM stations played their stuff)...anyway-
At that time, early '90s-ish, he sounded like 2 bass players. A couple years go by & he's sounding like 3 bass players.
I haven't seen him live now for quite awhile; what's he up to now...8-9 bass players?

Pretty close...

IF anyone has the opportunity to catch him live (in any capacity) - please do so (you'll thank yourself, later)

The first time I saw Victor was in NYC. the Flectones were the opening act for Strunz and Farrah, a Nouveau Flamenco band. I did not know what to expect. I could not believe what I saw and heard. From that moment I was a fan of the Flectones. Wooten was simply amazing. He is constantly evolving as an artist.

...about those early Flecktones' shows...as bad as the Wottens were, Howard Levy was just as jaw-dropping on harp & piano.

Well,

I am going to see Victor Wooten for the first time on 3/10/11. I mainly got tickets to see Stanley Clarke; Victor is the backup band. I have heard a lot about Victor and have a couple of the Bela Fleck and the Flecktones albums.

Anyway, I am looking forward to see both of them play soon!!

You are right. Harvey Levy was brilliant! I was equally impressed by each member of the band. The music was a breath of fresh air.

I've seen Victor live 11 times now...every time just gets better and better!
