mark tonin Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 This show is less than a week away, and I'm getting pretty excited by it. I've seen this band 5 times, and am always blown away by the fantastic musicianship. On top of the stellar music, it's always a fun show ... I thoroughly enjoy the witty stage antics of the 4 musicians. And what can I say about Victor Wooten except "wowzie wowzie wow wow"!So who else is going?Bravo to Brian Carson for bringing a show of this caliber to Hamilton!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteymuseum Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I have to admit to knowing not so much about BELA FLECK. But there was a program on 'Bravo' last week on him, and the footage was amazing stuff. I'll be there amongst a week of incredibly amazing shows in Hamilton.

\/\/illy Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 IN! Hey Hamilton! Get in line buddy! We've been loving Brian even back when you were gallivanting over seas! This band is so hot, they completely defy description. Let this be said: If you like music, you will be absolutely dumbstruck by this band.

PhishyK Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I am so jealous, you guys! Bela is one of my favorite musicians of all time, I even bought a banjo and tried to learn it (to little avail). I am out on the left coast these days, so the Hammer is a bit of a drive for me to make it tonight. But you guys are all guaranteed to have a great time. As a bassist myself, Vic W. is more than a hero or an inspiration, he is a God. And the composition and wit is just so brilliant! The one time I saw Bela, I will always remember as one of the best shows I have ever seen. ENJOY IT guys!! Lucky you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Well, with last weekend and this weekend shaping up to be pretty expensive nights, Prince tickets, plus with the Shaker sneaking up on me, it looks like the only way I'll be at Bela Fleck is if someone can do a trade for a ticket (get ahold of me), win the contest, or get guestlisted... Boo, I really wanted to see him. I never have, but I've been into him since my old Lakehead days (96/97). Maybe next time, have fun, I'll be celebrating 4-20 in my own way...

MarcO Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 In, can't wait! Brian is like a God to me - I can't look him in the eye anymore, the beauty and magnificience is just too great. Look away! Look away! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Well, now i see what Kung's complaining about It's nice to see the random draw pick someone who could not have gone otherwise. Now everyone else should buy their tickets and then Del-head a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 From The Hamilton Spectator Saturday April 17 Entertainment Reporter: Graham Rockingham "When the Flecktones come on stage at Hamilton's Club 77 Tuesday night, it'll mark a rare club appearance for the band. They're looking forward to it. "We have a lot of fun at those gigs," Fleck said. "It tends to make us even more loose. Things have a tendency to stretch out and get wilder in that setting than in the concert hall."" :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
