This was a long show and overall enjoyable performance from Metheny and this quartet. Tour seems to still largely be a retrospective of Pat's 70's through early 90's material. Not sure about all titles of tunes played. This might mirror the setlist from other recent show, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'll be happy for any help with the titles I didn't identify.
I particularly liked Simcock on piano. I know he's a great player from his own albums and his work with The Impossible Gentlemen and Tim Garland. I think he did Pat's music proud.
Some problems with the recording come from the "boomy Beacon". I did very modest EQ'in Audacity to help this a little. There is also some talking that is pretty noticeable in spots. There was an either crazy or intoxicated guy a few rows back that gave some loud enough commentary on the show to get a couple of visits from the venue security before he was escorted out about 75% through the show.Some patrons can be heard telling him to shut up or commenting about him. Finally, there's some "name that tune" and concertgoer curiousity about a baseball game being played simultaneously to the concert.
These are the warts that I want potential downloaders to be aware of. They fortunately will usually not be heard during songs, but moreso in between them. Overall, it's as good of a recording with this equipment that I could expect from a show of this length in a venue like the Beacon. Recording location was about 15 feet to the right of the soundboard and about 1 row behind it.
Please support the musicians by purchasing their commercially released material and paying to see them live.
