Given the fact that Pat Metheny is currently involved in a lengthy period of (mainly) solo acoustic guitar shows (Dream Box Tour), here's a throwback to a time a little over 20 years ago, where something similare was "in the air" for him. In this case, it was actually "on the air" in the form of this short broadcast. Pat did do a couple of acoustic albums back at this point in time, and one of them, One Quiet Night, featured the Baritone guitar. He incorporated parts of this in live shows at this point, but those shows generally included duo or trio partners for the balance of the night.
I got this in a trade long ago, and the archive only shows it having been up here once, and that too was a long time ago. This is a beautiful sounding broadcast, and Pat plays wonderfully. It seems that it was in front of a live audience, and my presumption is that the DJ was "onstage" with Pat at times. Since this was for a Polish audience, there is definitely Polish being spoken, but the interview pieces with Pat are in English, and the Polish follow up is presumably a translation of what had been said. I'm not sure why there's a partial voiceover during Ferry, but other than that, the guitar features are purely guitar. For some reason, Last Train Home begins in progress, and I'm not sure if any version exists that would include that complete track.
I did some new tracking of this in Audacity because tracks 1 and 2 above had been a single track, and because there were a few too abrupt transitions between the existing tracks on my disc. I tried to smooth that out a bit. Finally, tracks 7 and 8 had been a single track, but I did separate them here at the point where Chris begins. Thanks to the trader who made this available to me, and to whoever recorded and began to circulate this broadcast.
