I just hailed from the Victor Wooten show, now for those of you who aren't familiar with the man, a little insight is that the promotional poster for the show displayed Mr.Wooten playing a bass with 8 arms, he might as well have been because that man is so fast that you can't even see his fingers touch the frets. They had a fantastic show set-up, they would all play 2 or 3 songs together then the rest would walk off the stage except for one person, first up was the drummer, who not only is an amazing Jazz drummer, but the big rock beats he laid down thumped the foundation out of commision, he was doing double kick with one foot for over 5 minutes without stoppng. A few more songs, they had one that kept radically changing time signatures, which was fun to watch everyone try and dance to it. next soloist was this really gorgeous chick who freestyled while playing some funky bass lines on a beautiful blood-red ibanez. a few more awesome funky songs. Then it was a long drawn out solo by victors older brother Reggie, who was shreding like a mad-man, now when I saw mad-man, I mean MAD-MAN, everything to throwing and swinging his guitar in the air, to useing his teeth, but everyone kind of winched when he grabbed the microphone and started shredding with that, for an idea of that sound, put the nearest cat in a blender. Anyways, next was a solo from the pianist who was really good. but then there was Victors solo, and I was expecting this long funky bass solo, but he did the most beautiful sonata on bass for almost 20 minutes. It was probably the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard from a single instrument. Then he jumped into his song called "my life" which the first verse went like "I'm gonna buy me a pickle, pay for it all by myself, then gonna get me some mayonaise, then leave it back on the shelf, gonna find me a big ol' bullfrog, kiss it square on the mouth, going to visit the north pole, but get there walking south" and just the soul in his voice just exploded into the room (and over everyone to, gross). Then for their encore, they went into the funkiest funky funk funk ga-funk funk song ever, but then all the stage lights went out, and wootens fret buttons started glowing and bouncing up and down the neck to the music. A show to remember bitches!
