• Béla Fleck: banjo;
• Howard Levy: harmonica, piano, percussion;
• Roy Wooten: synthaxe drumitar, zendrum, drums, percussion, vox (s1t05);
• Victor Wooten: bass.

It was great fun to see the original Flecktones back together again (after a 27 year break, sheesh!), and while every tune seemed to be familiar, it was a tough challenge to puzzle out the setlist – after all, there weren't many words to go on to help simplify the task. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that I got a few of the identifications above wrong … let me know if you think you have good evidence to make a correction!

I thought the the second unidentified tune might be Nemo's Dream, but over at setlist.fm, DrPepper73 posted a comment that he's pretty sure the tune before Sinister Minister is Sweet Pomegranates, and jlnkfrd later commented that it might be Life in Eleven. So no one really knows! Maybe someday we'll get definitive identification from a reliable source!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
