Outstanding show!A little more subdued than the last time they were here but truly awe inspiring.Victor's solo was the high point for me but I'm bias in that department.That said though my wife thought so too.She's more a listener than a player so a different perspective.Future Man very innovative drummer\percussionist.Sound was very nice not to loud.All in all I had a great time and would gladly go see them for a third time! - Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:44am

That truly was a great show! I agree with Big Bird...a little more subdued than last time but incredible none the less. It's true, although I'm not a musician I can appreciate talent and you cannot over look the musicianship (whether it's your taste in music or not)!

Victor is definitely a bass god! Never looks at his hands and makes everything look completely effortless!

Also Future Man did some vocals on one song and it was very reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, so that was a nice treat!

I would highly recommend seeing them next time they are in town, just for some diversity! - Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:40am

I was really surprised at Future Man's vocals. Didn't know he could do that. It was pretty much the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I didn't see them the last time they were here, but I was hoping they'd do some more non-subdude tunes also. Incredible regardless. Not a huge fan of the drumitar though. It's super cool and nifty and neat- but it seems like something he should use in maybe 3 songs (like two with drumitar and one with drumitar and drums or something). And the rest with live drums; they just sound way better and are a lot more fun to watch. Bela Fleck's 18 minute solo was ridiculous. It was sooooo awesome! after 10 minutes it started getting hard to listen to though. Just non stop high-rev playing. He just never let up...
Best show ever. Better than The Unicorns. - Tue, 31 Jul 2007 4:12pm

That was the first time seeing them and I was really blown away. One of the sweetest bass solo's Ive witnessed ( up there with Stu Hamm and Steve Harris! ) and the guy on the sax and flute, etc was outstanding. Bela was unbelievable as well. Man that guy can shred on his banjo. Im not familier with their song titles but the very last song of the night was so cool. Cant wait to see them again! - Thu, 2 Aug 2007 9:12pm
