Great show :), I got to see my idol Victor Wooten. Everyone else in the band are amazing musicians as well though: Bela Fleck played played some of the great banjo I've ever heard, Jeff Coffin played absolutely the funkiest horn section ever, and it was great (at one point he was playing the sax with a wah), and Future man, was, well Future man

I did take some pictures which I hope to get up within a few days, hope they didn't turn out terrible...

At the end of the show, each member of the band threw out a stuffed animal hippo that represented one of their albums (Flight of the Cosmic Hippo) and the one Victor threw ended up going directly towards me. Well when I was about to catch it the old guy in front of me jumped in the air to catch it, and what do you know? He couldn't even catch it, he let it fall somewhere else so someone else could have it.

Old people are jerks! :mad:

Anyways, check Bela Fleck and the Flecktones out here: http://www.flecktones.com/

The Flecktones came through here but I wasn't able to go. One of my friends went and said Wooten was just amazing- and the rest of the band was good too.

I probably would've said the same, lol .

Oh man, you've never heard of them? You've gotta check them out. Phoenominal bassist, phoenominal saxophonist, phoenominal banjo player, just phoenominal. I've played with Jeff Coffin (saxophonist) once, and I've had a few lessons with him. Playing with him is currently my life's most awesome musical moment, but hopefully I'll be able to make my own awesome musical moments one day.

I just got news that Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are coming to Nashville with Marc Broussard! No way I'm missing this. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones put on a great live show, and I've recently been getting into Marc Broussard, and am looking forward to seeing him too. What luck! I only get one to two good concerts a year, and this is looking to be the second good one this year so far already!
