Jesus these guys are amazing live. I was able to catch them friday night, and the venue was no bigger than my local civic center across from my High School. It was such a great place, and the crowd was very respectiful during quiet parts, Bela's solo, etc. The set list was :
next
scratch
* 3/4
blu-bop
vic {solo}
Em guit
---
futch { solo , joined by Bela }
big C
sherpa
Dm 5/4
something she said
moment
bela { bach, and a beatle's tease (all you need is love)
hoedown { Vic teases 'stomping grounds'}
THE BEST PART :
I got autographs from each member after the show. I brought in my 'Left of Cool' cd, and the cool thing was Jeff Coffin signed it right on his forhead on the cd booklet cover. I also got a pic in with Bela, and my bro with Victor. I have yet to get them made, but i'm excited to see how they turn out.

Another moment I remembered was during Bela's solo, he put played with his nose, haha. I've only heard about it, and seen the picture : \/ But you have to see it live and hear the crowds reaction, lol. The second he used his nose to hold down a string, the crowd went crazy, but he held up his finger, shook it side to side, and hushed the crowd, and played using his nose as well for a few seconds.

| How was Vic's solo? Does he still do the looping? That part was so badass! |

| I'm really pissed I missed it... when I asked my buddies if they wanted to go with me there were tickets available. When they finally answered me, there were none. Oh well, next time. |

| Yeah...I REALLY wanna go to that. Too bad I'm already using my vacation for T+D. Oh well, maybe next year if it happens again! |

Classic. And yes there was looping, and some fancy bass work over it. Everybody was standing when it was finished. He even did a cool bass swing in 'a moment so close.' |

I am thoroughly looking forward to the Bonaroo Festival that Neens was talking about. I read that Nickel Creek won a Grammy last night for best contemporary folk album, which I thought was pretty damn cool. It’s such a great line-up… and it fits so nicely in my summer schedule! Although it’s beyond worth it… tickets seem a wee bit steep right now after shoveling out my entertainment funds on the T+D shows! Ugh... I'll get over it, and boy does Visa love me!

| Looks like the setlist is almost exactl;y the same that I saw them play in October, so I know exactly how amazin the show is. That song "Next" was the best of the new songs IMO. |

Oh yes, I couldnt agree more. Each member gets a bitchen little solo to show off there skill. Futerman was going nuts on his solo at the recent ATL show, hitting those drums so hard his stick was cracking apart. |

I'm quite gullible... so please tell me what the hell you're about... or I could be arrogant as well, and that wasn't directed toward me at all! |

Sure. Look under your name, there's a little guitar icon. When you hit 50, you get one, and your status changes to 'try a little harder' When you reach 100, you'll get two guitars, and turn into 'chatterbox.' |

Hey, HTG thanx for the info. I'm going to see Bela and the Flecks
in a few weeks. I can't wait!!
I went to Bonnaro last year. It was great and I suggest everyone goif you can. The line up is spectacular this year again. www.bonnaro.com
Tix seem expensive but its camping and 3 days of shows so its really
worth it. Esp. considering seeing one band is so damn expensive lately.
If you do go, get there early because traffic was pretty bad for some folks I met there last yr. One guy I met on the last day spent something like 10 hours in traffic trying to get in. EEK! |

I've just found out some very, very shitty news. The sole person to tape the recent Atlanta show isnt going to even trade the show at all! Fucking asshole. He's going to sell it on Ebay, and try and make money off of it. Damn bastard. . . .

HTG is that legal? Not that it seems to matter on e-bay but just wondering. I thought there was a "only for personal viewing- not for selling policy?
April can't come fast enough....oh wait, I still haven't had my taxes done and I am going to owe mega bucks this year so I CAN wait for April, hehe. Hopefully, my taxes will be done and I will have enough cash in the bank to pay the taxes by the TIMe the concert is here! I already received the tickets in the mail! |

His norwiegan wood and nite in tunisia are just as good tho!! Yeah, i'm probably be back for good now, i've had free time with all this snow cancelling school, but they're just hasn't been much going on board. I've been at nancies some debating some music(some of the guys in the not dmb section are actually kinda cool) i think it's mostly the people that talk about dave like they know it all that are jackasses. ah well, i'm back what can i say! |
