This song is called Reminiscence and you can find the studio version on the Flecktones' "Little Worlds" album.

I was at this performance and it was magical. I remember feeling like "I can tell what he is about to do but I don't believe it!". What was left out of this recording is that this was just weeks after 9/11 and practically blocks away from ground zero. a woman came out to announce him before he came on and said "Victors birthday was on 9/11 and rather than com e out and talk about how the day felt for him he wrote a song about it". Then he came out and played this! it was very moving. I imagined that the start is his day starting off nice and happy then as he detunes the strings and starts the banging is the buildings collapsing then the finish well that was just amazing. This is amazing in itself but knowing the meaning made it that much more special.

I met Mr. Victor Wooten today! He bravely departed my airplane to do his first tandem parachute jump! He is a musical and Bass Guitar Prodigy! I was flying on his birthday in 2001. Life has changed, but we are all in this together, forever...His talent promotes positivity and hope!

2022 and still amazed to this performance and musicality

Seriously brings tears to the eyes. Very moving and powerful performance.

My Favorite Bass Player Of All Time In one of his best performances.

So glad this is back on the Tube as a complete video. Unparalleled Victor genius.

Im going to do this every time I tune up.

Iam speechless! Woow..the best living bass player in the universe..period.

1.3k likes? this should be the most viewed and liked video of all time.

フラッシュたかれまくってめっちゃ気が散ったかもしれないだろうに、なんて圧巻のプレイなんだ...

One of the best bass videos I've ever seen. Amazing.

victor seems like such a stand up guy and doesnt have a big head at all which he could cause he's mind blowing on bass. how does this have any dislikes? are ppl nuts? everything he does is like drugs for your ears. victor is awesome.

it's like starts in a beautiful life and gets complicated and destroyed but in the end you get back on your feet and feel better again beautiful and happy ending.

My favorite bass player of all time. One of my favorite musicians as well.

simplesmente o melhor dos melhores!!!

nos quito las esperanzas y nos hizo dudar de el.quedaste como un heroe wooten.

ESSE CARA É UM MONSTRO NO CONTRABAIXO. THE BEST!!!

Now that's slapping bass on a whole other level. He turned he bass guitar into a drum wow.

Fantastic performance, Victor is the Best!!!

Seriously blown away.

Brilliant start love it

just....INCREDIBLE!!

One of the best composition on a bass ever in my opinion... So moving! And I suspect he's not even using a tuner when he finishes the song!

Simplemente hermoso

This young man has lots of enthusiasm

Con el respetó de todos este es el mejor bajista para mí en su género

Jesus, that was just incredible, wow.

What I cannot understand is how Show Of Hands barely has 100k views on youtube can someone explain to me how Victor is so well known and so highly under played???

いろいろ含めてマジで好き

bro, I am glad you shared that information. I remember the first time I heard this track...It became an instant favorite...so much emotion.

those chords at 3:40 just amazing reminds me of a lot of things

Я о вечном

The Best

Segundo o que falou um norte americano aqui nos comentários (Jesse) o Victor Wooten fez essa performance em alusão ao 11 de Setembro, dia da tragédia e também dia do seu aniversário. Mostra como ele começou o dia bem e feliz e quando ele desafina as cordas o atentado começa...

Gotta love his "of course I was gonna tune it back" face..."it´s me Victa.." (at the end of the tune...)

TOTALLY AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE!!! RESPECTS :)

It's like he's using his bass to perform some kind of black magic, but it's the greatest thing ever.

magnificent

Esse cara é um monstro...

I played this through my bass amp so it was like Vic was playing in my room.

いつ見てもこの演奏は凄まじい。いや、絶対コピー出来ない曲とはまさにこの事

最後意味わからんすぎて笑ってしまったwww 素晴らしすぎる👏👏👏👏

I've been looking for this! thank you :)

Thanks for the video! spent months looking for it again!

no one can grove like victor wooten :D

Holy Phenomenal, Batman!!! That's just insane... luv it!!!

Awesome

flickin wow!!!!!!

Sensacional

2024!!

OMG its back on youtube! The video of this that I had bookmarked before got yanked and its finally back!

2021

Te amare wooten eres grande!! No ai bajista ke te opaque!

ovación por favor!!! que genio!!

Es increíble la capacidad de desafinar por completo el bajo y volverlo a afinar a la perfección sin necesidad de usar un afinador,ni siquiera usar los armónicos ni usar el quinto traste para afinar la siguiente cuerda!! Es para flipar...

What a trip.

Genius

911…the FDNY hat, in the zone Vic

The best

WOW

I figured that out just by the fact that it was 2001 and he's wearing an FDNY hat. Words not always needed.

Incredible even for his own godly standards!

I kinda wanna play this for our annual teachers talent night at the high school I work at.

amen

Cool

i shaved this morning. watched this. instant full beard.

What. 🤯

amem senhor obrigado v w

Desculpe os demais , mais Wooten é de mais , que talento

6 minutes in and then you'd know what it really meant to slap your Bass

5:52 Victor Wooten's subconscious.

Vic could beat on a broom and make it sound hip.

Reminiscence

Flight of the Pigeon

Holy kitten!

Does anyone know the name of this song? thank you!

Totally thought you wrote "bottom" rather than "broom." Would have been both punny and true (hip bone for those who aren't "hip " with the crumby joke)!

I guess that 19 dislike is from AlCaida...

Super tripy

if anyone can tell me how he gets his bass back intune i'd worship them

A beautiful illustration of 9/11 through the bass guitar.

that explains the hat

240p, seriously? In this century?

That bass was never the same.....it had to go to support groups after that defiling.

This is called Waterfall

at the 12 min mark victor gets a sour look on his face. it probably smelt terrible in that place cause i bet everyone in the audience shit themselves. that was unbelievable...

es la reencarnación de hendrix pero en el bajo!!! jajaj

LOL! NaYs One man

and of course at 12:07 he just picks right back up where he left off. lol

Я не это том

lol

I love slap bass and I play a fair bit of that myself but when you make something as beautiful as this?? slapping just ruines the overall sound and experience.

Brilliant at the start an just messy at the end it ruins a lovely peice

Jet fuel doesn't melt steel.

Stupid bass !!!

It's like he's using his bass to perform some kind of black magic, but it's the greatest thing ever.
