I know there were a few Garagers there last night who are probably going to post, but I wanted to give my take on the show. One word-tremendous. Great mix of new cd and standards.Also to note was the singing of happy birthday twice for Pat’s upcoming big day and the lightning show in the background that were nice touches.And it was beautiful outdoor venue. Hope they bring Pat back there again. Cheers |

At Lowell last month the band played the main theme from Two Folk Songs to an enthusiastic crowd response.

Hey guys: just read an interview with Pat on the AAJ website & he says the Unity Band might play some stuff from "80/81" during the Concert Tour. Can anyone confirm & if so, which tune(s)? Thanks

Just to clarify, the background water was courtesy of Longwood Gardens,not part of the normal show. But the stage lights were great on their own.

HAMBONE-Now you really got me wanting to get to a show.Pat always has some neat lighting to go along with the great music.Maybe I’ll just have to go to Atlanta on October 7th,if he doesn’t get down here to Florida.

Another great highlight was the dancing water in the background during the encore lit in red to match the stage lights. Very cool.

This show was one of the best sounding outdoor concerts. I hope Pat considers doing a live version of this cd after the tour ends. I loved the Signals composition. This was a highlight.

Very cool setting for a show complete
with a tour of light installations
throughout the gardens and a
fountain show behind the band for
the encore. Enjoyed the variety. All in all, a terrific
performance and a great venue (as
long as the weather cooperates).
So thrilled to have gone...fourth row
seats too! I liked some of the tunes
from the Unity Band release much
better live. Hope there will be some
live recordings that become
available. Now I await the release of
the Orchestrion video!

I agree it was a great show. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a fantastic place to see Pat,surrounded by tall foliage in an old style stone ampitheatre. The lightning in the distance made an interesting touch. I enjoyed some of the songs live more so then from the album. It was definitely a great show.

The Longwood Gardens show was great. Pat never disappoints, no matter what the configuration. I feel really fortunate to have seen it. They were amazing together, really working hard, but seemed to be having fun too. Chris Potter has some chops! Pat’s second encore was great and had the extra ambiance of a cricket chorus in the background. Nice open venue!
