Wild Story
I went to see Béla Fleck and the Flecktones on April 26, 1996 in Atlanta GA. They sold the last ticket to the guy in front of us. Disappointed, we went to a bar. I walked in and sat down in the seat of the woman that would have my son 9 months later. If I would have gotten in to see the show I may not be a dad today. He is now the age I was when I became a dad. He plays music all over Atlanta.
it was meant to be.. well done my man
Edgar Meyer on the bass! master musician!
Is this the second coming of Strength in Numbers?
Strength in Numbers v2!!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏
This is such a treat! Of course there is the Bluegrass Heart, but I hear southern Indian phrasing in there and even some Rock. The best thing since "We Hide And Seek".
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Our whole family of five travelled from Detroit to Grand Rapids in swirling snowstorm a couple of weeks ago. Bela and the fellas mesmerized us from the first note. I really think the whole band fed off each other with their skill and energy. Memorable night!
The cream of the crop and Stuart Duncan is phenomenal on the fiddle !
Brilliant! The album is amazing but seeing it played live is incredible.
All the masters on one stage.
Some of the masters. Indeed.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo! Ehay!
Bela is just not from this planet. And he makes everyone he surrounds himself with rise to another level.
Sutton is 10x the musician Bella will ever be.
@@shreddykrueger3776 That's why Sutton has won 14 Grammy's and been nominated in more categories than anyone in history. Oh wait....that was Bela.
@@patrickhawkinson8399 SPOT ON!
@@patrickhawkinson8399Grammys don't mean anything in music
@@shreddykrueger3776 Neither does one guy's opinion.
All y'all,. For sure no more Tony Rice on this planet hurts. Hope to hear his playing when my time is done on earth. As Bela has said interviews, Tony can't be replaced. Yet Bryan has licks that Tony did not. This group honors the past yet makes the music today. No better than this,
Great performance
I love all these guys and their expert musicianship!
Wow wow wow! Shared.
The intricate rhythms ,and melodies are woven with silk fluidity. Is fluidity a word? Shud b. 🕊❤️🤘
There's also a little hint of music from China like the bridge and it's a whole different take on this music dude.
Reminding everyone who's who...
Saw this group last night in Portland, OR, and so happy to find this video in my feed- takes me right back! Thanks for sharing
I was there as well. I was trying to describe this tune to someone and it is so great to have this video. What a stellar night of music.
@@rubygallagher9289 I would love to see them and so would my husband, for without him I wouldn't have a clue who they were.LoL !
This is like a reincarnation of Strength in Numbers
Step aside y’all. Bluegrass has taken over
Sam Bush will be 70 in April people! 70!! And he still plays like this?!? Unbelievable. I hope the younger fans are watching and listening, there’s a whole wide world of bluegrass out there beyond (and better than!) Billy Strings!
If Billy is getting folks to listen then that's a win! they will start to find the other gems like Bela, Sam or Tony or even Scruggs, Flatt, Monroe or Stanley Brothers. I was into all them before Billy! How did I get there? Jerry Garcia and Old and in the Way. I'm glad a Jammy psychedelic goofball introduced me to this wonderful music
@@nathanlazickas1179 Same here with Old & In the Way. My issue has nothing to with how someone is introduced to bluegrass. It’s the many many Billy Strings fans that I’ve heard say things like “he’s the best ever” and don’t have any clue who Bryan Sutton, David Grier, Cody Kilby, etc. are. And many have said that they don’t care. I’ve encountered disrespect for the genre of bluegrass from Billy fans and at Billy Shows. I even had to email a “journalist” once because he mis-credited literally every song that Billy played at that show except for his originals. To his credit, Billy really does his part to cover a wide variety of traditional bluegrass from years past and expose his audience to all that greatness. He absolutely has respect for bluegrass. I can’t say the same for all of his fans…
Billy is actually part of the album and he does a kick-butt job as always. The whole album is awesome.
@@Yobanero yeah unfortunately some folks don't know their history nor respect their elders. I'm glad Billy does. I wish more of his fans looked more deeply into the music
@@nathanlazickas1179 Yeah, that’s all I am trying to encourage. I’m really not trying to be harsh. I mean, I used to be that newbie, hippie fan who whined that bluegrass shows weren’t louder 😆 None of us know until we know…
Yesssuh
Sick track great band, the D tuners really allow for a crying out sound that normally only bowed instruments could get really made incredible use of that
Not only the Keith tuners but also modern-style Scruggs tuners. The combinations are mind-boggling and to keep it all in tune is miraculous.
This is the A+A+A+AAA Team! All thats missing is Michael, Justin, Sierra & Mr. Shatz.
GOSH I could listen to these people and amazing compositions all day long!
Bela: You've produced an AMAZING album. Jerry, Stuart, Brian... EVERYONE AFFILIATED with 'My Bluegrass Heart' - thank you from the bottom of MY heart!
Wow ! Now I'm even more bummed I missed these guys in Minneapolis a couple weeks back. They are GIANTS ! Just some serious heavy hitters. Also: dang I miss Tony Rice.
Me too!! 😢
THIS!
any relations back east? I got a chance to see this show in Ithaca ,ny a few weeks back...hard to describe how good it was...
my last name is gavin
going to see these guys tonight in Seattle.......YAHOO !!!!!!!!
you are?
Those are some mighty fine banjo touchin's.
This song makes me cry (if anyone cares)
The latest Telluride house band
With all due respect to Bryan Sutton, it would have been so nice to see Tony Rice up on the stage with these former bandmates of his. How I miss him so.
God Bless Tony Rice. I miss him too.
Sam Bush is my favorite Mandolin player.
Mine too! Though I like Sierra’s playing on the album better on this track
I just saw them in Milwaukee. Great, great show! Would recommend 1000x!
Jaw dropping awesome❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I first saw Bela at Colorado College in 1990 and was privileged to see him and this amazing ensemble at the Paramount 31 years later. Thank you for all the brilliant music and memories!
Wizards among men
Branford Marsalis has "Jazz at Lincoln Center". After you watch this, I think it's time for Bela's "Bluegrass at Lincoln Center". Some kind of Blue Grass, Classical, Jazz?
Goin to the Shed in Eug tonight
Down tune song
White house blues
Slow hunter song
Swing funk tune w Bela slide
Cumberland reel
Boulder dash
Slow tune
Us chickens 🐔
Up on da hill

Revenge of the tenticle 🐉

Uses a peghead weight clamp along with 4 Scruggs tuners. Plus he has a wide and thick neck.
I wondered what that was. I'm glad to see Bela going back to a more Scruggs Style of playing.
@@jackwilloughby239 Yeah, I could'nt take the Flecktones.
I was there, simply an astounding level of musicianship, these guys are just phenomenal !!!
Counting the days to see them at the Ace Theater in Los Angeles.
Yes this is a Allstars line up.Some of the top musician in their field.
This will be a Historic moment in my life.
Dayum!!!!
My all time favorite collection of bluegrass phenoms !! 💛💛
Looking for 2 tickets for tonight in Tempe Saturday the 18th.
Béla, please gift 2 tix to the upcoming Ryman show? It's the only way I can afford to take my wife! 😂
Holy shite!
Am I the only one who hears whispers of Strength in Numbers?
I want to know what brand of strings he uses. With my luck, mine would snap after two measures.
What a bunch of slackers!
INCREDIBLE!
I was there! It was Amazing!!
Damn. I can’t add anymore than what’s been said. Amazing.
Hey thats why thay r the masters the zillion dollar band amen
🥀🥀🥀🥀
Bostin!
Out of this world! And of the next
This is so, so, soooo good! Outstanding
Great w mushrooms,thanks!
Edgar Meyer…brilliant
Sure was nice of those guys to play, while Bela tuned his banjo!
ummagawd! we are blessed :)
Bryan makes the ensemble so much better than with billy strings. Béla should have used bryan and Colby and molly more than billy on the record
I just saw them at the Arlington in Santa Barbara, CA. What a power group. So good to see them all together again.
I had the easy part, clapped when they ended. Wow!
Omg that is Meyer too.
❤☺
Bela fleck is definitely...definitely..definitely..one million percent...... what Muhammad Ali was to the boxing world...... Bela is the greatest!!!!! Banjo player in the whole wide world....wow what a tune!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!.....
Doesn’t get any better ❤️
No it doesn't. Certainly not in this world it does not. Music! Angels gift to human kind.
Wow. Bluegrass royalty.
Aint it just grand!
Thats a new Japanese song called tuneng 😆 🤣 😂
No all jokes aside best in business wish I could play like that thanks
Don't stop now
Eugene tonight!
Wow!
WOW...just wow!
WOW 🤩
Pretty sure this was the Paramount theater in Seattle not Denver 😜. Unless there are two Paramount theaters. Great show!
Paramount in Denver too
Uh nope, this is in Denver lol.
There’s a couple dozen Paramount theaters around the country. Most built late 20’s-early 30’s by Paramount, when Hollywood was huge (bigger than today in many ways). They built them to show their own movies. Lots of Fox theaters too, Paramount’s competition.
This was definitely at Paramount in Denver. I was there last Saturday night.
Awesome! I would love to go to one of these shows sometime.
✨🙏✨
I cannot wait to see this show live! Looking forward to seeing everyone in Ithaca, NY in 2022!!!!!!!
I sure hope you made it to the concert last night. What can I say? A+++
Saw Bela Fleck and the Flecktones perform at the Bass Performance Hall in Ft. Worth in October 2004. I had never seen banjo played like that before. It was really amazing. If you like Bela then you should also check out Jens Kruger with the Kruger Brothers. He is also a virtuoso banjo player and even writes symphony music that they play with world renowned orchestras.
Thanks so much for sharing. Superb picking! Nice ti see you guys stepping out. Happy for you. Please stay safe ~ Happy Holidays. 🎼💐🗽🙂🕊🌠🎄🪕🎻🕯☕🍀🌎
Hope you make it to the PNW some day. This is the best instrumental bluegrass album in a long time. Thanks Bela.
It sounds good that Béla Fleck is playing some piece Earl Scruggs style, because this style is already somewhere any, but It´s still a bluegrass!
Great musicianship lovers band. Technically brilliant.
Saw you guys in Des Moines last week, you guys rocked!!! Super cool venue too!
I have to say they are Way Beyond Tight!!!Awesome work guys!
Damn, that's brilliant! Can't wait to see the show at Carnegie!!!
Seeing them tomorrow night!!!
I’m so stoked!!
Now that's art right there.
these lads ALL have great taste in what and how to play
Great stuff. A mean, pure quality.
Lovely uplifting piece.
Pure Awesomeness!!
Holy Shit!
Amazing.
Not really my Jam 😕
African tuning…..
Bela has a thing for little girls.
No
Why would anyone post that. These guys are all legends
@@davemiles94 because looking at profile pic I would say this is a generation zoomer. Too much time on 4 chan. Memes about fappings and Trump. In actuality. Someone who has become and considered the number 1 person at some skill in the world barely has time for his wife and kids so there's not much time for any other debauchery unlike this original commenter. It's called jealousy.
They probably have more of a Thing for Him! It's a terrible thing to say anyway.
