Vic or Rocco?

[adrian garcia]

man! what a weekend! Tower of Power is in town and so is Bela Fleck and Vic Wooten! since i have gigs tonight and tomorrow , i am going to go check out Vic at the HOB Sunday night ( i caught TOP a few months back with Rocco and he was burnin!)... sometimes this town shows promise...
who'd YOU go see?

 

[i like tictacs]

Vic!

 

[geoffkhan]

Vic!

 

[ogar]

Definitely Vic!

 

[Feda]

Definantly Rocco! That's where the party is

 

[DWBass]

I like Vic and the 'Tones' but I'm a devout funkster and would go see TOP in a flash!!

 

[peteroberts]

I've seen the Flecktones a million times (slight exaggeration) and have not seen Rocco so I personally would go to TOP.

But if you have never seen the Flecktones, by all means go to that (is it Flecktones or just a Bela/Vic duo)?

(just checked the website and it is a Flecktones show)

 

[James Hart]

tough call Adrian! I can't choose... I'd have to flip best 2 out of 3

[adrian garcia]

AMEN!
i have to admit. i'd much rather see TOP than the Flecktones, as a band- i can only take so much jazz banjo... and i wish Futureman played a real kit sometimes... but I have seen TOP the last 3 times they were here. They were BUMPIN!
I have never seen Vic live... though Imet him once-
I wish i could have caught Vic with Mike Stern and Dennis Chambers!

 

[Jace The Bass]

Man if I only lived in the states
You guys are lucky I'm hoping Vic would come over to New Zealand
But if I had a choice I'd see Vic

 

[JimK]

E-Z...I've seen Vic about 2 dozen times & have never seen Rocco w/ TOP.

 

[JimK]

I wish i could have caught Vic with Mike Stern and Dennis Chambers!

Next best thing was a local clinic with Vic, drummer Larry Bright(plays like DC), Tom Coster, & Frank Gambale. Special guests were Keith Horne & Victor's older brother, Rudy, on alto.
...Rudy, IMO, blew them all away!

I've seen both many times.....Last year I saw TOP, and their singer was awesome! I can't remember his name but the best singer they ever had, tore the roof off! Of course Rocco & David Garibaldi where awesome too. But to answer your question.....if you have never seen Victor.....you have go see Victor, he is a force of nature Futureman plays more real kit these days, last time I saw him, he had a real kit along with his synthaxe.......it made a HUGE difference

 

[adrian garcia]

Jerry- +1 for that singer- man, he was ON! i wa just telling my roommate, who sings for Ricky Martin that he should go and see them- that guy was killin! Best yet.

 

[Muzique Fann]

For some reason I think Vic will be around longer so go see as much of Rocco as you can now.

 

[Erlendur Már]

I would like to see both. But I doubt that they will come to Iceland..

Anyway, I think I would choose Victor. But I'm not sure, because TOP is an awesome band.

 

[Yvon]

TOP without a doubt!!

 

[adrian garcia]

you know, it just MIGHT be TOP- you see, i am taking a date and she will definitely enjoy the music of TOP more than the Flectones. I can always catch Vic some other time with a fellow bass freak-
it's not for girls...

just kidding!

 

[Superdave]

I'd go for the old school funk...TOP.
