Re: Watch This! Web Video Finds
Indeed, Victor Wooten is easily one of the best bass players in the world, as confirmed by polls in a bunch of guitar player magazines.
I remember the first time I saw Wooten, playing (as usual) with Bela Fleck & The Flecktones on a PBS "Soundstage" special that I just happened to stumble onto. I was absolutely stunned (especially when Wooten did that incredible "Amazing Grace" bass solo in the video link above), and I ordered the DVD of that show (Live At The Quick) instantly.
Anyway, Tatt, I've gotta tell you that I was glad to see your post about an hour ago, but the weird cosmic-timing thing is that just a few minutes ago I was scanning through the TGIF section of today's Advertiser and saw this:
I am SO going to that!!! Wooten plays stage right, as I recall, so I'll buy my tickets on that side.
And according to their tour schedule they're also playing Kona on Nov. 25 and 26, and Maui on Nov. 30.
