Pat Metheny Group Fans....Speaking of Now on DVD

I haven't missed any of his concerts (when he has stopped in a Canadian city) other than the Secret Story concert (big mistake) since 1992. Good to know that the DVD of the "Speaking of Now" tour is out. Caught that concert in Vancouver and it was fantastic. Managed to speak to him at the end of the concert too. Can't wait for the next album.

Turbodieselvw: What did Pat have to say?

Didn't have much time to speak to him as there was quite a line-up. Apparently he comes back out after the concert is over to speak to his fans. He was very humble and soft spoken and was pleased that there were so many people who enjoyed his music. The crew were telling us that Pat was being held up backstage (it took quite some time for him to come back out) by Antonio Banderas, who is a big fan, and Melanie Griffith.

My brother has told me a couple of stories about Pat Metheny and how he is really down-to-earth, humble and genuinely appreciative of his fans (of which I am one). The latest story from my bro' is that he noticed Pat in the audience at a Keith Jarrett Trio concert last Fall at Carnegie Hall. During intermisson, Pat was in the foyer with the rest of the audience and people were stopping to express their admiration and Pat was just smiling and expressing his thanks and chatting briefly with those who were brave enough to speak to him. A real class act!
