It's that time again.... - 07/29/04 02:41 AM
to add another concert DVD to our ongoing list.
Pat Metheny: Speaking of Now Live
I picked this one up last weekend at Best Buy and WOW!!! is it good. There's a 5.1 DTS mix and a 4.1 DD mix. So far I've watched the entire concert (clocking in at over 2 hours) once, but I was flipping through some favorites today. I must say that this is one of the most unique and inspiring (for a musician) concerts I've seen in a long time. Everything about it, from the video work to the musicians just screams TOP NOTCH!!! Being a dummer, oops that's dRummer, I must say that Antonio Sanchez cannot be human. Similar to Terry Bozzio, he's constantly doing four part patterns that make me sit and say "What's he doing?" *scratches head* Truly amazing.
Overall, there's a jazz taste to most of the songs, but there's several surprises. Especially Pat's "crazy" guitar. That's all I'll say about it in case any of you guys see it. There's even some hard rock on "The Roots of Coincidence". For any of you guys that enjoy jazz on the experimental side, make sure you check out this concert.
