\/\/illy Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 It looks like I'm going to be away on February 18th so I've probably got two Pat Metheny Group tickets to sell if anyone's interested. They're in section ORCH7, Row G, Seats 85 & 86. The show is at the Hummingbird Centre. They cost me $150 for the pair. If you're interested send me a private message.

Del Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Wish I could help you out brah, but that's a little too far and a little too much out of my price range... Good luck though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 i'll spread the word around... i have my single, but i'll see if i can find some takers... Chances are, your gonna eat em, or take a big hit, as i did with the Jarrett Ticket.... Not many fans of quality jazz music. Even though Metheny is probably the best living Guitarist today.

hamilton Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 If I could afford it, I'd be take those off of your hands for sure - the show is even on my birthday! Now, if I could just find some extra dough... Saw Metheny once before at Massey Hall, about 5-6 years ago - pure gold, and from the third row, no less!

secondtube Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 PAT METHENY Boy wonder The graying wunderkind of modern jazz guitar, Pat Metheny (now 46) began teaching at Berklee as a teenager and has been on an unstoppable trajectory ever since. With unlimited chops, infinite adaptability, and complete commitment to any musical situation he finds himself in (his list of collaborators includes jazz gods like Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, and Jim Hall as well as new guy Joshua Redman and avant-guitar hero Derek Bailey), Metheny's been a major voice in jazz virtually since the beginning of his career. His use of chorus effects and guitar synthesizer has extended the jazz six-string vocabulary (and don't forget his custom-made 42-string job), and he's also forged a unique compositional language: a blend of bebop tradition, Brazilian rhythms and melody, and the C&W roots of his native Missouri. Metheny's idea of "fusion" is like no one else's. Last year was typical high-octane Metheny. In a new trio with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart, he started with Trio 99/00, then embarked on a tour that yielded the double CD Trio/Live. The latter offers up all the Methenys. Pieces from the studio CD are extended (with a couple of tunes pushing the 20-minute mark). He demonstrates his ability to phrase eloquently at fast tempos on the standard "All the Things You Are," indulges his experimental guitar-skronk side on "Faith Healer," and slips into warped, jazz-damaged bluegrass on "Counting Texas." And somehow makes it all of a piece. Virtuosity never had it so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 if I could afford it, I;d go too. I saw Metheny at Massey Hall like 10 years ago and it still brings me chills, remembering his fingers just burning around that fretboard all night. A living legend - this'll be a great show!

AdamH Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Also too pricey for me, but worth every penny. I was sold on him after seeing a special with he and Brian Blade (there's that name again Steve) and a few latin musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy, if no one offers you anything for your tix, if you want, i can bring them with me, and see if i can get something for ya.... Its easier when its sold out...and last i checked it was.

\/\/illy Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 These are real nice seats which is why they're $75. If I'm going to see the man, I wanted to see the man. Not that there's a bad seat at the Hummingbird Centre but I want to watch his fingers fly! Thanks for the offer Steve; I'll let you know what happens. I've gotten some interest from a couple of people and I also just recently learned that I may be back in time for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
