Flecktones - The Sinister Minister (Victor solo) Bluesfest07

[banjobanjo2]

If you ever hear someone say that Flea, Les Claypool, etc is the best bassist ever, all you have to do is show them this video. They will be epically corrected.

[latinoheatwhoa]

i have watched this video like 700 times already thank you so much for posting it and better yet, recording it, this solo is just fucking amazing jesus man ur so lucky u saw this live is there a dvd for this live feature? it would be cool if you could tell me

[hemostats]

wow. vic was on point in that vid for sure. i have seen him lose it on that solo alot, but he does nail it sometimes. case in point: live art.

america>australia

[SweetUpDown40]

That is dumbest post I think I've ever seen on youtube. well done

[hemostats]

you must not be reading much then hahaha

[polishpirate123]

wow... seriously dude

you really believe that strong about your own country?

or is this a joke?

[MrPokemonWarrior]

this post is obviously un-called for, but it is true.

[Walkingcompilation]

Ooh, I dunno. Australia has some beautiful natural landmarks. What's more, they havn't built strip malls on top of them.

[Rjc0316]

Which beautiful natural landmarks in the United States have strip malls on top of them?

[Walkingcompilation]

It was a joke, mate.

[danvov]

@Rjc0316 America's a great country, with really outstanding people... but there are still too many American simpletons like you wasting the Earth's oxygen. So yeah, just die please.

[Rjc0316]

@danvov yeah it's one of those 'jokes'. <3

[RAHMYULIS]

vic was on point in this vid, his licks were in time with the beat and he made it sound easy. usually in the other vids his licks sound like he had trouble mastering them himself, but this vid has them sounding like easy to transcribe but soo hard to play, and each little quick note sounded right...this is the best technically ive seen vic play

[Robertopgls]

THIS IS GROOOVING!!! I LOVE THIS MAN xD

[Wetter02]

Its so EXTREME!!!

[rationalimperative]

I was there, in the Mojo tent - the Flecktones concert that night was the best band performance I've ever seen - and I'd seen them several times before. A knockout - everyone in the place was gobsmacked.

[SweetUpDown40]

this was the afternoon set, not the night set

[rationalimperative]

Ah, OK - the Crossroads set. Not quite as god as the Mojo, IMHO.

[SweetUpDown40]

no it was mojo. they played mojo the friday night and then the saturday afternoon. IMO the saturday was a much better set

[rationalimperative]

Ah, can't remember - I think you're right, though. There was a performance at the Mojo (and it is probably the one you've got) that was simply stupendous. I've heard BF & F every time they've been out, and that performance was the absolute standout. Do you have other footage from that one?

[SweetUpDown40]

i have quite a bit of footage from both sets, just been too lazy to put it up. ill put some more up soon and let you know once it is

[rationalimperative]

Cheers, mate.

[legendsandpros]

When someone can literally make their instrument talk, have feeling and make the audience get that feeling in return....that makes them a true artist not just a great musician....it blow my fn mind to hear this stuff.....(listen to the other versions of Sinister Minister part 1 and especially 2

[craig19721972]

Man i wish i was there.. That was the most insane playing i have ever heard for awhile. Victor Wooten is the most techinical player out there today in context with this style of music. Manring is great too. Can't wait to hear the new S.M.V album Victor has done with Clarke and Miller!!!!

[fruitjoi]

This is ridiculous! What a show...

[kingpin191]

hahaha thats crazy vic you are the man gotta love the lopsy lu and school days teasers in there

[Ashsaege]

That was insane! I missed the bluesfest that year, but im going to it this year... Stanley clarke!

[Daenoxiis]

wtf is that??? it sounds like extremely fast and precise slapping...does such a thing exist? I quit, I can't compete with that, no one can.

[KurtSandford]

It's a double thumbing technique and yeah, it's quite a simple theory but can sound ridiculous

[Daenoxiis]

I know what it is, I was being sarcastic, lol.

In theory it's simple, but it would take a lot longer to master like that.

[CCMrJones]

from which song is this theme from 02:15 to 02:28? does sb know?

[WastedHeadAgain]

school days stanley clarcke

[CCMrJones]

Thank u! :)

[selenawannabe]

OMG! Speechless! omgomgomg!

[FunkyBassMonkey]

and im going to see him on Feb 17 in st. petersburg. maybe i'll get to meet him again...

[ka8911]

I'll be there too man-

-Victor will be having a meet and great after the show!!

[FunkyBassMonkey]

Dude! I was on his myspace and saw that it said "Meet Viv after the show" or somethin like that but I didn't understand how, thats awesome I'll totally hang with him again for sure I can't wait to finally see him live!

[gdenyer]

Going to see him on 16th Feb in Ft Lauderdale. I think my head will explode...

[SmoothOperator3769]

i just cant get enough of Victor Wooten. Man wat a legend. great playin, great energy, great show.

[umiskivinick]

i was there.

amazing set.

[simb0010]

great energy from the crowd and the music!

[2882890]

Sorry, forgot to tell you what it's called - "Victor Wooten Bass Solo - Sinister Minister" , it should register as 8:41 long.

[2882890]

Have a look out for the equally fantastic Vic does but that lasts for 8 minutes - he even loses a high string and keeps going for another six minutes.

[SweetUpDown40]

link?

[2882890]

I dont think I can put in a link. The comments box wont accept it. Have a look above at my last comment and search instead, it's a very popular video and hence should be at the top of the list. Have a look at "TJazZ1337"'s profile, he uploaded it.

[KurtSandford]

I hate it when i get a new comment thinking it's some advice or props... when it's just a spambot :(

Why is youtube leaving this?

[SweetUpDown40]

how about shut the hell up and stop wrecking youtube

[KurtSandford]

BEST BASS PLAYER EVER!

...Opinion not fact. :)

[4juxtapose4]

so good. i posted a vid of the exact same solo (worse sound and picture) but from closer in. that was a magic moment

[timmh92]

that's cool, i was at that concert as well

[cocobass]

Interesting how he goes for such a Stanley/Alembic tone, but wont just play his Alembic. I'd love to hear it!

[SweetUpDown40]

endorsments...

[andym87]

not just the tone, he plays lopsy lu! lol

[Andres12131979]

the best .......
