Metheny show...who is excited?

Saw his Austin City Limits taping a few years back. Pretty amazing, and Antonio Sanchez (on drums) is scary good.

His guitar-synth tunes start to veer off a little into the dreaded 'smooth jazz' realm (for my tastes), but it was a show I'm truly glad I got to see.

Enjoy!

I've gone to 2 Metheny concerts, both were outstanding. I agree about the guitar-synth though, my least favorite part of his albums and concerts.

I've seen him half dozen times. Last time I fell asleep and was woken up by an usher trying to close the place up.

Looking forward to the vinyl release of ORCHESTRION.

I'd love to see Off-ramp performed. Don't really care as much for the other jazz-noodling.

Well here's an update/review of the Orchestrion show. Wow! That's it. Go and see this show. UNC gig was second outing stateside and I just did some searching and other gigs are selling out as most are campus theater/performing arts centers and tend to be more intimate with average 1200 seats. I was front center in orchestra area...perfect...not a neck breaker like many would suspect. Any closer I would have been onstage. Pat spoke to audience explaining his 'weirdness' as he referred to it and did some improv tunes...amazing. He told audience that folks from Moog were in-house and the engineers were collaborating with the project...interesting and he played well over 2 1/2 hrs. Best hundred dollar outing I have had...ever. Now I need to go buy the album:)
