I don't know where to begin trying to explain how
incredible Pat Metheny was. 1st off it turned out
that Section A row T was 1st row and we were dead
center! I saw Al Dimeola and Larry Coryell recently
who are also among the best but their music is so much
more structured than Pat's. With Pat you have no idea
what the next riff is gonna sound like. It adds an
extra dimension. He started playing an Ibanez and
played most of the show with it when he wasn't
using the Ibanez, which is a relatively standard
electric guitar, he used 2 normal acoustics
including a Spanish looking one with nylon strings,
some very strange funky shaped and sounding electric
guitar that had some kind of built in oversized
synthesizer, and a guitar with like a double double
neck,it had a 6 string, a short 12 string and two
different short fret boards coming out the bottom that sounded kinda like autoharps, oh yeah I should mention
that it was acoustic. After his mellowest tune of the
night which he played on a regular acoustic, he picked
up the weird electric guitar with the built in oversized synthesizer and went right into wild wild space. He
was making sounds that almost had me and everyone else hiding under are seats. He played about 2 hours with no break and did 1 encore. The last time I remember an audience being so overwhelmed by a performance was the
when I saw Dimeola, Mclaughlin and Delucia's first tour
in '80 or '81.
