anyone else catch the tune they hint starting in the sixth minute but explicitly 6:52 ? It's Down in the Swamp from Bela's 1988 album Drive. Big surprise to here than oldie thrown in!

I recognized it but I couldn't put my finger on what it was... Great addition and a great version of this song.

Vid quality on this is amazing too... I could see myself a few times, thanks for sharing it!!

@kingofkillings yes, iirc, victor doesnt play fretless very often and youll find he does more jaco type stuff with it out

[Verse34k]

this is why i bought a banjo

[Feldman742]

I hear those sleigh bells ringing and jing ting tingaling at @4:05

[kingofkillings]

Is it the melody of Jaco's Continuum at 4:45?

@smurd24 I agree, especially about the tears part. My eyes leaked when I caught the Rialtp in Tucson. Last show of the winter tour, 19 December, 2010.

I heard Victor Wooten can produce the sounds of all the other instruments with just a bass, but doesn't because he doesn't want to show anyone up.

One of the greatest 5-string banjo tunes of all time ;)
