The other 2 shows were fantastic as usual but last night ... They were hitting on ALL cylinders. It seemed Pat and the fellows were enjoying the energy from the crowd and took the night ’Supersonic’! OMG!! (Won’t be a spoiler here, but) You need to hear them live. Thank You Pat and Unity! Most fun I’ve had in many long time. And as if the evening could get any better ... Pat signed my Pat Metheny Model PM35! Grateful and humbled ... He has always been so gracious and generous toward his fans ... it is appreciated. I know this is gushing but those who get it ... understand the Metheny high.

The concert was amazing! Loved the Alto/Bass? flute on "Are you going with me"...haunting and beautiful; loved the duets; loved everything! Great show!!!

And the crowd added to that energy in a positive way. I hope they release a DVD of this tour (Friday’s show would have been perfect). Just out of curiousity does anyone have the whole set list from the night?

And for one reason or another I had missed him when he was in town, until this CM concert. I felt so impressed and inspired by how for almost 2.5 hours Pat was in on almost every musical passage, including the 3 encores! Great to see that he enjoys playing the music as much as I do listening. One aspect of the concert that I found a bit odd was that so many of the concert goers seemed older (I’m 44) and better dressed. I almost thought I was at the wrong hall, and had stumbled on a classical concert. The age group I can understand, given that Pat is in his 50’s, but I guess I was expecting a bit more "earthy" dressed-down crowd. My blue jeans and t-shirt were definitely in the minority.
foxesfred Sep 30 2012 at 11:46 PM	Totally agree. Caught them in Monterey but this was incredible! OC rocked on Friday night. Hey folks,show some love for Ben Williams! He is the real deal!!!

radeem Sep 30 2012 at 5:54 PM	I agree this was his best show in So-Cal. Completely tore it up! Not sure if the last encore song was "Vera Cruz" or not. Anyone know?
jl Sep 30 2012 at 2:31 PM	Was there and completely agree! I was blown away by the 3 different encores!! Didn’t think OC had it in them but they proved me wrong! Loud and appreciative crowd. Thanks Pat & band for stopping in OC!!
