Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Over The Wall

[@AdamNeely]

That definitely sounds like an alto flute to me, and I wouldn't put it passed Jeff to play something like that. The entire band was killer here, definitely an awesome video.

[@simonwilliams6300]

I feel so affirmed knowing I'm watching a video Adam Neely watched without him telling me to come here

[@bobkendomowitz9534]

lol, 12 years ago my god, you've been here a while

[@baden_ok]

Привет , Адам

[@bamboosa]

I saw Mr. Wooten in a music store in '91 in Hollywood. I had never heard his name before. I remember my jaw hitting the ground when he picked up a bass and started playing it. 20 years later I figured out who that was.

[@yooley]

Every time you hear mention of Bela Fleck and the Flecktone, you know it's about an incredible performance. No exception here.

[@mrchives47]

But he's doing more than just playing sax licks on a flute. He's got that instrument down...these guys never cease to amaze.

[@mrawsomepants355]

God, everyone in this group is so amazingly talented. It's like an all star team of musicians!

[@MrMunkfunk]

Victor makes that acoustic bass sound like a cello! Beautiful!!

[@goticopostrauma]

Did you know the model? From a luthier?

[@techdeth]

... ... ... pah pah pah pah pah. BOOOM!! God what an incredible moment in music.

[@thefool2007]

Pure musicianship perfection

[@mark2761]

Two words...jazz flute...love it

[@twentyeighthunnid]

This band always have good live solos, real entertaining !

[@Onegative82]

Then I saw his bass, now I'm a believer!

[@mrbssmn]

They are the best of the best! All of them!

[@foowah7]

These guys are so Awesome! I've nvever seen vic playing a fretless acoustic-electric before. Cool stuff.

[@spoofzilla]

Man, I can't get enough of that bass groove at 0:22 . It's one of his simpler lines, but man is it effective.

[@AerroReyna]

I cannot believe how old this video is, and how long it took to youtube to recommend me this video. 2021

[@paulcoste7830]

Never heard a drum rest solo before. That was amazing! Truly!

[@llamaclipz]

im such a big fan of bela, i dont think i would even be comfortable sitting so close to him in that room

[@adamholt84]

Bela Fleck is masterful in this one :)

[@drummer2474]

i love this song, they played it in toronto and i was instantly in love.

[@lorenzogiglioli1014]

Extraordinary

[@komiagbavor7261]

Wooten still wooten much respect to home♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️✌️✌️

[@banjorino]

Fantastic playing!!! The most innovative musicians in the world:)

[@RobertChapmanMusic]

[@banjoandlefty]

amazing playing, as always here. i heart the fretless acoustic. where are they playing and why are there no girls there? Mars needs women!

[@komiagbavor7261]

[@MagicAccent]

[@dindglebeaver]

[@robertoraap]

excelente saludos desde venezuela

[@sh4p31y]

agreed.. true music can be felt, doesn't always have to be heard.

[@johnheath4305]

Jeff and all crushing

[@Tekay_music]

looove wooten with his bass

[@NYtoPDX]

No need to be uncomfortable, Ive met Bela and he is a really really nice and down to earth guy. So is Vic. If you get a chance to see them live just stick around after their set and they usually hang around to sign autographs and chat with people.

[@littlejackson]

yeah!!!! great musicians

[@patrickconrington9449]

Excellent musicians

[@dabawla]

The Taylor fretless accustic bass sounds amazing. Of cource anything Vic plays is gonna sound awesome though.

[@VillemR]

fretless acoustic bass - *drool* great song

[@BassAdvisor]

This confirms my suspects that Future Man is great at playing a "real" percussion set.

[@johndennison2769]

I believe he plays drum set in the Wooten brother band

[@rory09]

That is one captivated crowd!

[@radmin2]

This is killer! Thanks for posting it.

[@homerpalooza101]

Ya, it's weird, it's not on the site, but it's on the schedule for theatre. Also, if you look on ticketmaster, you could buy em. It's some holiday tour that they're doing. I'd say check local theatres and venues to see if they're on the schedule.

[@twentyeighthunnid]

LOL, Futureman is playing the CUBE! He came down from the new-pirate era of the 24rth century to show us that the cube is playable, what a master! xD

[@AlexKalicinski]

@crashedcan They are head to head. Groove wise vics got it. Harmony wise Bona. Both are different but equal. World class bassist

[@saitoRS]

@BitOveRate Actually there were five of them: Victor (bass guitar), Roy "Futureman" (drums, "drumitar"), Regi (guitar), Joseph (keyboards) and Rudy (Saxophone), who passed away last year. They recorded an album together, "The Wootens", in 1985.

[@FriendsofMusicOnlie]

Wow 👏👏👏👏👏

[@MicShinberger]

Wooten is a wonder!

[@m2nu3lr]

very good. muy bien exelente saludos desde venezuela

[@DMCompany97]

It's really upsetting that there isn't a version of this on any of their albums.

[@edeldridge2188]

I keep imagining the scene from anchorman... "I'm really not prepared" * pulls flute out of sleeve * xD

[@Ratcaller]

Except the reference in that movie was more related to Jethro Tull since he mentioned "Aqualung"

[@InAtlasAtLast]

Hahah oh yeah

[@betterway2]

merci pour ce partage bienveillant , lol !

[@maddtappin]

wow!

[@twentyeighthunnid]

Well, I'll check it out! Thanks

[@wally88ar]

Beautiful cuban feeling.....

[@airpierre2501]

Wow! Nice!. Thanks!

[@homerpalooza101]

Orpheum in Madison, WI on Dec. 13. I'm REALLY pumped to go.

[@okokok32]

mesmerizing

[@BubbaCoop]

There are 2 versions of the CD. One is a CD/DVD, so the album is on one side, then then DVD-Audio album and comedy video / small show on the other side.

[@zenodotus]

Just fantastic musicianship, what I'd give to be half as good......

[@ISIAH_STL]

vic! is the best!

[@marsonus]

Reading some of the comments below I had to respond. The bass is a Taylor AB-1 fretless. Beautiful and weird looking guitar and very large...but...and it's a big but, unplugged it sounds like a box with strings on it!!! Went looking for an acoustic bass recently and came across this one and I was less than impressed with the dead unplugged sound together with the AUD$5800 price tag. Most acoustic basses sound good plugged in...but what's the point then. Note the P-Bass style pickups he's using?!

[@BitOveRate]

@BitOveRate I didnt know the Wootens had 4 musicians all together in the same generation impressive.

[@drummer2474]

cool, thanks man

[@spoony01428]

ohhhhhhh nicholas! On facebook it messes it up so it looks like it says "victor wooten on drums" but read the info and you will find "Bass - Victor L. Wooten"

[@techdeth]

Birthday is tomorrow im looking for a 5 string fretless acoustic. Anyone know what make that sexy thang is?

[@mickkennedy1344]

Never leave your acoustic bass near where children are playing -- you'll come back and find that they've moved the sound-hole and jiggled your pickups.

[@manuFUNKture]

Wow! Wooten on a fretless acoustic just made my day.. The best part is, the others are just good!

[@pbar1000]

Bela is awesome. Sorta like the Pat Metheny of banjo. That's a compliment! 5 Stars.

[@crashedcan]

looks like futureman is killing it on the wooden box!

[@MicShinberger]

Now I too am over "The Wall" [by Pink Floyd]! This is exquisite!

[@gringochucha]

I knew it was impossible, but for a second I was hoping this was going to be a Testament cover.

[@InAtlasAtLast]

Gosh, that would be hilarious

[@gringochucha]

@@InAtlasAtLast Can you imagine?

[@TheAdjectiveman]

@xlr8rkid98 It is probably a custom Fodera bass, like the rest of his basses (exuding maybe his Hofner violin bass that you can see him with in some pictures). to get one like the one he was playing would probably cost a pretty penny.

[@steveaustin71]

good god. I found this by accident and now I gotta change my pants. Thanks alot.

[@1975lap]

Seeing them live June 11 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin

[@uygaryengin273]

İşte müzik bu!

[@HollowZer0]

oh my god bass god

[@FreddyHernandezbass]

@chabyte I don't, I just posted this from the DVD side of The Hidden Land album from The Flecktones. It's worth it, just get the album, lots of great stuff, this video is from a half hour long mini movie/concert with lots of random rehearsal shenanigans. It's really quite fun. Although, the edition I got was a dualdisc version of the album, cd one side, and a dvd the other. I don't know if this is the normal version or just special limited thing. Either way, it's a cool album.

[@zieher]

RobertELee01: on a fretless, you can hit a harmonic (looks like B (4th fret) or D (3rd) on the G string here), fret the note with your finger, and slide it up or down

[@Rob1Rob2Rob3]

nice to see wooten play with his fingers :-)

[@breadbassed]

thats cool, victor rules on the bass, but the whole band are just awesome!

[@SGTmixon]

you take my comment backwards... my meaning was that they are all extremely talented... they all give theyre own 100% and it comes out sounding like a Billion dollars....

[@bcp01scu05]

My favorite random tidbit about this song--it was played live for years and years and known as Am Latin, but never actually copyrighted. Then they made this video, realized that--oops--they needed to copyright it for the video release, and the name changed to "Over The Wall" at that point. :)

[@telsonater]

He's getting a "sweep" effect by doing a roll really fast. He does it at 4:05 as well. You kinda rest your thumb and fingers on the strings and "roll" your hand off from your thumb to each finger.

[@proflonghair07]

nope nope straight badass

[@ShangoDC]

How is Victor Wooten going to be arguably the greatest bassist in the world today and Stanley Clarke is still living and playing bass of the charts. You've not heard or studied the greatest bass revolutionary of all times, Stanley Clarke. I would say that Victor is greatest of "his" generation.

[@twentyeighthunnid]

oh, thanks

[@crashedcan]

hmm, yes you might be right... fingerstyle mr Bona is great too, Wooten too, but does Bona slap? i have no idea, but thanks for sharing your ideas :)

[@21drummer21]

Wouldn't mind having the audio version of this song to play in my car.

[@zivkovicable]

Hey Gil this is the future calling. Soon you will have a bluetooth enabled receiver in your car & you'll be able to play KZbin clips over you car speakers from your device...Yay!....

[@spootybaby]

2:38 Dirty freakin solo. amazing

[@Towedwart]

I like Futureman's pirate hat :D

[@NathanJMiller]

Yo dude, that is like sweep picking on the guitar, but just on a banjo. The short answer is...being a badass.

[@errudimini]

Stratospheric 👍👍👍👍

[@janossandor6517]

At 2:25 what's this groove? I've heard it before, but I didn't remember.

[@KVVUZRSCHK]

János Sándor could be "Count those Freaks"

[@maxxyporky]

great :)

[@rodrigomiguel]

Futureman goes old school! From his supermodern Drumitar to the traditional Peruvian Cajón. These guys kick major ass.

[@SGTmixon]

these guys are the epitome of "the hole is greater than the sum of it's parts" ...

[@tabonejohann]

What bass is that ? Pretty nice tone

[@FreddyHernandezbass]

It's a fretless Taylor AB-1

[@RobertELee01]

Holy crap! Does anybody know how Victor does that slide at 1:47?

[@NoelBrizuela]

Emmm not when you need new cymbals and you loved the sound of those ones :)

[@marsonus]

But when you're Victor Wooten I don't think, plugged in/unplugged really matters.....genius!!!

[@gregoryhaydon7108]

"Who's Roy the pirate?" "The only guy in our bang that dresses like a pirate." "Wait, there's a guy in our band who dresses like a pirate?!"

[@aboobn]

I wish I could play bass & victor to teach me!
