I just found four YouTube videos where Ron Carter Interviews Pat Metheny. Search "Ron Carter Interviews Pat Metheny". I watched two so far and will watch the other tonight. So far they are very good. Ron and Pat have a history playing together and a mutual admiration for each other. I spoke to Ron several times at the Detroit Jazz Festival when he was Artist-In-Residence. Very nice guy and sharp dresser, always wears beautiful suits. When he and Pat do their duo shows Ron gets Pat to wear a suit or jacket. |

Hi Marc, 2005 I attended The Way Up gig in Brighton Dome UK. I drove down to Brighton and decided to stay
overnight as it would have been a heck of a drive back after the gig. In my hotel the morning after the gig was an
African Dance/Music Troupe having breakie, that were also at the Brighton Dome doing their performance the
night before in the Dome, in another area of that magnificent building. I got talking to one of the members of that
troupe and said I had attended the PMG the night before. The gentleman was so happy and honoured to tell me
that Pat had come to their rehearsal in the afternoon, and was interacting with him and asking great questions
about what the troupe is about, etc.. I was so touched to hear that, but it doesn’t suprise me that Pat did/does
that sort of thing beyond his pre-gig run, etc.. I have another story about Lisbon Coliseau SON gig involving Pat,
new PMG member Antonio and Steve, which my mind was completely blown away, that happened after the gig in
that wonderful Euro capital......I’ll never forget what I witnessed....

I finally watched the last two interviews today. Very well done interviews. In one of them Pat said a gig starts for him
four hours before the show. I was not surprised by this comment. Pat has always seemed like he is a perfectionist
and wants to put on nothing less than a great show. Many years ago at a gig at the Jazz Showcase when it was in the
Blackstone Hotel I saw him returning to the hotel after his pre-concert run. I think he still does the same routine now.
I am sure a lot of mental and physical preparation is done in those four hours before the giog.
