Béla Fleck & the Flecktones Tickets

I have been fascinated with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones for years and finally got the chance to see them live. They did not disappoint. In fact, I can only describe this as being a witness to genius. I feel that I was given a gift of watching greatness as it happened. Wow. What musicians!

This was an amazing show. The music was so complex, so intricate--it absolutely soared. The harmonica player was incredible--I have never heard a solo like his. But all the players were incredible. Hands down, one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Exceptionally talented group of musicians. The solos will leave your jaw on the floor, while simultaneously jolting you out of your seat for a standing ovation.

Wish they had played their old work. Except for the harmonica piece by Howard, the songs were repetitive and so dischordent that you wondered how they decided it all fit together. All of these musicians are extremely talented, however, I was disappointed that their new work had changed so much. If I had known I would not have gone - as it was, we left at the intermission.

This concert was a standout because I felt pretty much transported away during each piece. It's really an engrossing experience, because you feel included and pulled in by each solo. As each person plays, the thick, rich background made by the other three (and sometimes the "other four," given that they often play melody over the top of their own accompaniment) would be enough to keep you interested. The addition of completely unexpected musical directions (as well as lots of funny/interesting/happy/sad commentaries or quotations from other songs and genres) in the solos and melodies are what make it capture your attention completely. It's not just listening to music, it's really watching, listening to, and being part of a show that tells dozens of stories, even though most of them don't have words.

Spectacular. Virtuoso performances. Loved Futureman's singing, he should do more.

I know I just saw history made. These are some of the best musicians alive today and humble. Gave us three hours of amazing music and I even learned a few tricks from Mr. Wooten!

Best and most unique use of harmonica by Howard Levy - truly amazing. Band had strong chemistry all night and enjoyed their set as much as we did. Victor Wooten on various bass guitars also had excellent solos and strong mix with Levy's piano and Fleck's Banjos. Bela Fleck played a wide range on his banjos, very musical, but in my view he decided not to be the "star," allowing the Wootens and Levy ample opportunity to display their talents.

A consummate display of musical genius. They were totally in sync with each other. Amazing!

Great concert with very talented musicians. A must see.

Howard levy gave the most amazing harmonica solo performance I've ever heard in 40 years of concerts!

Awesome show! Amazing solo's, from this eras best musicians. According to one member of the band, this is the last tour as the Flecktones.

Astounding show. The most talented musucians living. Victor Wooten(sp?) the bomb.

Great show, lots of good new material, good pacing. Really enjoyed having the acoustic grand piano, Howard Levy played it almost as much as harmonica and gave the Flecktones a new jazzier sound dimension. Nice tribute to the recently passed Earl Scruggs at the end.

Bela and the flecktones were absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see them again!

I have listened to Bela Fleck (with and without the Flecktones) for many years, but have never seen them in concert. They were very good- all very talented musicians and put on a 2.5 hour concert! And of course it was at the Ryman- a great

If you get the chance go and see these guys! You won't regret it

The music is unforgetable. No one was sitting still in their seats. Heads were bobbinb and fett were tapping through it all.

Excellent concert!! Would highly recommend to anyone of any age. I saw Victor Wooten's son and fam there so you know it's a family friendly event. Such great musicians and talent. Jeff Coffin even showed up for the last few!!

This concert was AMAZING! To those who are not familiar, this is avant-gard jazz with some of the most amazing talent in music. Howard Levy and Victor Wooten... unparalleled in their craft. I listen to all kinds of music but this will go down as one of the most mind bending, inspiring shows I've seen. BTW, if you like traditional banjo you won't be inspired UNLESS Bela does the Earl Scruggs tribute he did in Nashville. I've have never seen a banjo player with such dynamic range, with soft/sensitive interpretation of Scruggs banjo standards. That itself was worth the price of admission.
