I don't the dog realized that Victor Wooten opened for this guy. Not the other way around...Victor opened for Adam. That in itself is impressive.

Adam Ben Ezra's percussive style reminds me a bit of guitarists, Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Adam's very talented and enjoyable to experience, to say the least. As is Victor Wooten.
One thing to keep in mind, top billing for artists, at concerts doesn't necessarily translate in the talent/ability quotient. Most times, it's very arbitrary and totally the result of contract negotiations with the concert promoter.
Since this thread is titled "Upright Bass Solo" (and not specific to Adam Ben Ezra), I'm including a YouTube of one of my favorite upright bassists. A true master of melody and technique on the upright (string) bass, as well as various configurations of electric bass guitars, Brian Bromberg:
