Bela Fleck & The Flecktones

[mrchattr]

Tex, thank you for all you do for the community. I still have to say the best B&P I ever did was with you - the extra data disc you sent just really made my day!

Yes we are. People just don't tape things anymore unfortunately. It never aired anywhere near me. I really hope I can see it sometime.

Not a problem. Just out of curiosity, what did I put on that disc?? I'm sure I can assume because I put the same couple on all the data disks, but I don't remember yours.

Ah yes. I'm sure the pics made the disk. But those are several of my favorite shows. Especially the '97, 99, and '04 one.

Glad you enjoyed. I'm digging to find the Nickel Creek stuff, but I might not be able to get it up until this weekend, but I'll put it up before Christmas, promise.

Hey man, no biggie, take your time. I'm too into LT7 to even listen to it if you had it up tonight anyway!

I caught maybe a song or two one random night at another friend's house where my friends kept telling me they didn't get it.

I'm sure something will pop up in HD and someone can capture it via DVR. Maybe Chard has a copy of it or something we can "borrow"

Vic pretty much has it his head in a certain way and he tells the guys how he would like them to play it and they toy around with it. Plus there are several shots of Carter messing it up, which I guess could be expected, it was the first time he was playing it. A great DVD, probably would make a great Christmas gift . . . for yourself of course!

I decided to get it on netflix, im surprised they have it, ill hopefully have it on saturday to watch.

Are you referring to the Carter/Wooten DVD? I really, really, really need to see that!

Yep and same here.

With that said, more Flecktone dates have been announced. Including an Australia tour, and several dates in the US.

It actually was a cool DVD. It was nice to see the making of a song, where things were being talked out as to how to play, seeing carter jump the gun was pretty funny. Still love Zenergy as a song, it almost sounds more Flecktones than Vic.

Carnegie Hall, count me in. I've always wanted to go there.

I'll be hitting both of these as well! Should be a great time. It will (probably) be my first show in New York.

I'm freaking excited too!

I've always said the studio version of that song is exactly how the 'Tones SHOULD be. Carter instead of Futureman. That's the only way the Flecktones could get any better.

I really really enjoy Futureman and what he adds. His solo's aren't my style, but he does a great job keeping up with the odd time signatures, and he has some random sounds on his Drumitar that just seem to work.

With that said, I would give him up in a heart beat if he was being replaced by Carter.

I'm waiting to see Futch on a real drum kit.

Its a fun little town. There are some nice places I could stop on the way up there from Penn Station. I think my grandfather will hopefully make the trip up with me. You can't pass seeing any band at Carnegie Hall.

Two shows ago (the Bucknell show from the last tour), he seemed to spend more time on the kit than on the synth-axe, and it was awesome. He's a really, really talented drummer, and knowing that actually has made the synth-axe a little worse for me. I've never been a huge fan of it, but after hearing what they sound like with drums, I was just stoked.
