I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
The topic of musical virtuosity is on my mind because last night I went to a concert featuring Cory Wong and Victor Wooten, 2 folks who I think of as musical virtuosos, particularly in the realm of funk.
Here's a video of them playing at Paisley Park (Prince's home studio) where Cory Wong has been a regular for the past year:

They were playing with musicians from Prince's backing band... so everybody was just so on point.
I actually took my parents to the show and they're in their 70's haha, so instead of going to the front, we went up to the second level to try and get a little space. The sound was fantastic throughout the whole place and we had a pretty good view from where we were.
One of my favorite parts was when they all took out instruments that were carry-on size (could be brought on a plane) and busted out a version of Introducing the Fearless Flyers which I'm trying to upload to my Google Drive but am having trouble (EDIT: got it!). I also loved their take on Benny Vinny and the Jets, here's a shot of it. Unfortunately I didn't get any footage with Victor Wooten on stage... he came on a little bit later than the rest of the group, but he of course blew everyones' minds once he was on, haha!
By the way, if you haven't yet listened to The Fearless Flyers (who also have both Cory Wong and Joe Dart of Vulfpeck fame), check'em out here!

That sounds like an AMAZING show. I love Victor and Cory Wong is fantastic. I love it when he plays with Vulfpeck.
What was it like? How close did you get to the stage? I'd love to hear more about it.
It seriously was amazing. 🙌
