Concert Review: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Grand Opera House, DE 6/2/11

Last week I had the pleasure of seeing the original lineup of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones.  The group's core trio of Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten, and Roy "Future Man" Wooten recently reunited with piano/harmonica player Howard Levy who appeared on the group's first 3 albums.  The setlist consisted mostly of material off those 3 albums and their new album titled "Rocket Science" which was released in May.  Since this was only the 4th stop so far on the tour the crowd even got to hear the live debut of a song called 'Wolf Laruel' which is a bonus track to the album when purchased on iTunes.  If you're a fan I'd highly recommend going to see them on the current tour, and if you're not familiar with them you can find a number of live recordings here at Archive.org.  Here's the setlist from last Thursday:

Setlist:
Gravity Lane
Nemo's Dream

Sex in a Pan
