Pat Metheny June 8, 2023

[@carolephern4757]

I saw Pat for the first time ever last month in London. I was enthralled. I can honestly say I haven't felt that happy in a long time. His gift is astonishing. So glad he wants to share it with us all :)

[@bobtoabe]

Awe, he’s just the greatest. Such pure identifiable sound. I’m happy you enjoyed it. If you have a chance, check out my Hiromi Blackbird post.

[@carolephern4757]

@bobtoabe I've just given her a listen. Wow. She is so good! Felt I could hear some Eroll Garner influence here and there? Maybe Fats Waller as well?

[@maryexstroughtonaire4244]

I saw him tonight at the Bardavon. Wow!❤❤❤

[@MeMuppet444]

I was there and yes wow , a true virtuoso

[@MeMuppet444]

I just saw him play on April 13 2024, stunning! I’m more or less at a loss for words at what we witnessed… a true virtuoso.

[@uncabeeil]

Saw him this past Sunday in Red bank, NJ. He took us on a walk through just about his entire career. He played for two solid hours. I could have listened for another 12! I've seen him with a couple of different PMG lineups, and a couple of solo tours with a group. This solo tour is the best show I've seen. He was relaxed, chatty (yes, he actually talked more than once), and was clearly having a ball.

[@TRCALB]

I saw the Dream Box tour here in Albuquerque on 10/14/23. Best concert I’ve been to, and I’ve seen Pat 10x’s. I was wonderful to get to know the musician and the stories behind the music. I’m glad I got to see him again. Hopefully, I can see him many more time. The master!👏🏻😊🙏🏻

Pat Metheny is a genuine gift from God. I try to see him play every chance i get. He is a unicorn. Artists, teachers, players, lovers of music, and people who appreciate next level, top shelf shit will talk about him until the end of time. He said something like artists like him aren't really embraced until well after they are gone. He is indefatigable. Just look at his body of work, touring schedule (literally across the planet) and time to mentor young players, How does the do all that? Does he even sleep? I can't think of anyone even close to his league, at least in our lifetime, and we are the same age. if anyone out there is just as dedicated to their craft and as celebrated in it, please raise your hand and let us give praise to you as well. He knows he is special and he expresses that confidence in a totally non-offensive way, that's why he is sharing his talent and genius with us as long as he can, it is his duty to humanity to reach as far as possible.

[@richardthurston2171]

Same here. Seen him many, many times beginning in 1977 and most recently last year. Always fresh. Always spirited. Always a friendly, warm vibe. He’s extraordinary.

[@michaelhenchman]

Very well said. I couldn't agree more. An astounding and unique talent.

[@Twsuf1]

Let's not get carried away white man 😂

[@jxgardner]

Have been a fan for 45 years .. his music is part of my soul ! Amazing fellow …. 140-160 concerts a yr all over the globe. Yet, I meet few if any people who follow him, I don’t understand it… but I feel uniquely honored ….I play his music every day .. and soon will see him at Berks Jazz Fest. ❤

[@davidsco27]

I was there, my last time seeing him with my wife, who recently passed away. Pat was the soundtrack of our honeymoon and marriage. This medley would bring tears to her eyes remembering our beautiful honeymoon

[@musician069]

My upmost condolences. She is right now chatting it up with Lyle telling him all about her honeymoon with you. Prayers bro.

[@encompassvideo5429]

I am so sorry for your loss.

[@jazzfan7491]

This is the medley he has played as the final encore for several years now. For longtime listeners, like myself, it is extremely moving.

[@pangeaproxima3681]

ok, ok...

[@ElfinMadness]

I got to see this in October on my birthday. Always a huge fan of his ensembles, I was pleasantly surprised by his personable conversation, his shares about his guitars, his mention of the kids, and the featured Orchestrion. Fan since ‘79, when he comes to town, I’m there. 🌹

[@encompassvideo5429]

Saw him last night in Northampton, MA. Totally, completely on top of his game. He delivers the goods, in spades.

[@pangeaproxima3681]

ok, ok...

[@russfiore8730]

I was there also. What can you say. Just took our breath away from start to finish.

[@Rinocalandra]

Pat Metheny is a truly genius and got his own Music. I am going see him tomorrow at the Ryman in Nashville and can't wait for it...

[@TRCALB]

The Master at Work in a solo performance! 👏🏻❤️😊

[@AlbertDiezRuiz-qv4mt]

GUITAR LEGEND!!!! MASTER!!!! GENIUS!!!!!

[@winstonsmith8240]

Can't argue with that.

[@winstonsmith8240]

If I could play one piece that made Pat say "that was nice," I'd know I'd arrived. Incredible musician. As good as it gets. Beautiful music.

[@mikeinla6922]

Saw him for first time last year. The skill and strength he has is awesome.

[@Mattressinsptr]

Thanks for sharing ☝

[@ltfringr]

This Is Not America into Last Train Home was such a powerful moment when I saw him. Thank you for recording.

[@PHILIPPEAPPOURCHAUX-q8s]

je l'ai vu à Lille lundi: merveilleux concert, grands musiciens

[@DaniloMarrone]

Pat Metheny is the definition of genius.

[@totallyunmemorable]

The man's a national treasure. And did it all without being a drunken, drugged degenerate. Positively heroic given his profession. A true role model. Much respect from this corner.

[@yolandaarranz4538]

Tuve la suerte de verle el año pasado en un concierto. Espectacular como siempre. Los pelos de punta, la carne de gallina.... dos horas de plena felicidad

[@guygauvreau4284]

..maybe James got his last train home meanwhile he didn't know he was writing a letter to home, even it was his secret story not in America.... Thank you Human Race to provide us people as Pat, able to feed our souls and hearts, with more than love

[@joemcgrealvideos]

Well done!!😂

[@karlb2620]

Nice 👍

[@richardthurston2171]

Always nice to good pay money to attend a concert and have half the audience recording the show with their phones. All those lighted screens throughout the crowd really enhances the experience. And so respectful of the artist.

[@jameskeyes9112]

I am pretty sure Pat asked the venue to put a no-electronic-devices policy. It was in effect the past couple of times I have seen him play live. But people just don't listen.

[@richardthurston2171]

@@jameskeyes9112 He always does. I went to Big Ears for the first time last March. Great festival. Wonderful music with excellent sound in top notch venues. And everything started on the dot. But I was shocked because a really large segment of the audience at EVERY concert I attended was using cellphones to record the shows. Going back next year but the invasion of the cellphone is a real drag. Common courtesy done died I’m afraid. But sheesh. Watching The Bill Frisell Four, for example, on a 2” x 2” screen for an hour when they’re 20 feet away making great music? That’s a special kind of knucklehead.

[@bobtoabe]

If I record at a show, I always adjust my screen brightness to the darkest setting and hold the phone right in front of my chest, so as not to distract anyone.

[@jameskeyes9112]

@@richardthurston2171 It was like the people who got out their phones to record the full eclipse a few years ago when I lived in Lincoln NE. I started to do the same, but then realized that the real thing would be so much better. I lay back on the grass and took it all in. I did not regret it. The same with a concert experience.

[@Lance37a]

I'm surprised that you recorded this, I saw him yesterday and no phones were allowed.

[@NiceChristianMan]

This was in Kansas City June 8th...... I was there....

[@bobtoabe]

This was actually in Boston. But I’m so glad you were able to see him in KC!

What model acoustic guitar ??

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

May be one of his Manzers. Sound so rich and full. Rosewood back and sides probably. In Pat's hands it sounds awesome

[@headbangerministries]

Imagine sitting next this guys bright phone for a whole seven god damn minutes of annoyance?!?

[@bobtoabe]

If I record something at a show, I always dim the screen to lowest setting and hold the phone close so as not to annoy those around me. Sorry that my post bothered you.

[@musician069]

Now imagine an annoyed viewer of your content, watching your video just to complain how annoyed he was. Now that would be something. For a whole seven god damn minute. Thanks for posting.
