Just for the record we must have all been at the same concert because I remember that obnoxious drunk too! I also remember smelling pot and was stunned that people were smoking that at the elegant Strand! Oh wait this is Louisiana!

I saw Eric Clapton at the Gold Dome in the early to mid 80's. One of the few concerts at the gold dome as I recall. The Hirch and Municipal where typically "very smokey" but the Gold Dome was filled with mom and pop's with the lights on. I kept wondering when the lights would go off but they never did. Someone fired up a doobie, and even Eric said something on stage about it. That was one brave stoner!

I got a good recording of that show. Victor blew me away.

BELA FLECK and the FLECKTONES play some great music. I would love to see some good blues music come to the Strand.

all this talk about the Flecktones.. had never heard of them.. here they are:

As a bassist for 20 years, I've been a long time fan of these guys. Victor Wooten is, in my opinion, one of the top 5 Bassplayers alive today! His older brother, known as "future man", is the Percussionist(spelling?) who is playing a drum machine that looks like some kind of keybord guitar, and is his patented invention. Bela Fleck is a world renown banjo player who has played with the likes of Chet Atkins and Allison Krauss.

Hey Vix, who are your other 4 fav bassists? I was just thinking 'bout that yesterday. Percy, Jaco, Phil, Victor and Paul. Check youtube for a few Percy Jones solos.
