Reviewer: Jac from Tucson - - February 3, 2006
Subject: The 1985 date is right, not 1986

After wondering about the date, I did some research and found Bela Fleck performed solo at Telluride (with friends accompanying him) on June 22 and 23, 1985. So, this date is correct.

That said, this is fun to listen to and compare what Bela and the 'tones do now, two decades later! The audio quality is decent and the performance is fun. For Bela fans, it's worth the download. Now, who has the performance from the 23rd of June, 1985?

Reviewer: Dub Irie - - January 31, 2006
Subject: Excellent

This is worthy material for any Bela or banjo fan... Great quality recording. Lots of Bela solo and then it gives way to Bela with guests for the last few songs.

The show was in 1986 however, not 1985.

Subject: Identification of some tunes

the track numbers I'm using are based on downloading the zip of the whole show.

1. See Rock City - from the 'Drive' album

2. Oma and Opa from the 'Solo Banjo Works' album

3. Another Morning from the 'Doubletime' album

6. up to 2:20 this shows up as Geocentricity on the 'Tabula Rasa' album

17. For Sascha from the 'Tales from the acoustic planet' album

Subject: not the flecktones, but still...

This is a solo bela fleck set at Telluride back before the flecktones existed. So it is mislabled, but its one hell of a concert. Bela is amazing and plays with great guest stars. The sound quality is beautiful, especially for 1985. I highly recommend this concert, especially if you are only familiar with bela's flecktones stuff.

Reviewer: Fuppeduck - - May 22, 2004
Subject: This show is mis-titled.

Since Bela Fleck did not form the Flecktones till 1990 or so, this is either a show from a much later date or its Bela Fleck playing with another set of musicians.
