...after his mid-set break on both nights, but he recovered for the encore. The weakness stemmed from minor problems with the band's talent level, which can be attributed to an attempt to be inclusive. Wooten's band contained both his middle brother Joseph, a keyboard player, and Regi, his oldest brother and a guitarist. Joseph's cheesy pop material was irritating, especially his "Hero" from 1987, but Wooten recovered thanks to his improvisational wizardry...

Joseph did, however, make the crowd feel involved with his comments and his enthusiasm. His use of a radio antenna to produce sounds was also surprisingly clever. Regi's guitar brought Victor's desire for responsive improvisation to a lesser height of majesty, for Regi had technique without ear; at one point, Regi was horribly sharp and only turned the pegs up more, producing a grating sound and a disturbing cacophony amidst Victor's clever performance.
