I would like to hear some more Metheny. I love his work on one of my favourite live albums Shadows and Lights by Joni Mitchell.

Iv'e seen other videos from this show, although I was more in tune with watching Jaco play. Didn't even know till this vid that Pat was there too.

Jaco does dominate but the whole band are so damn good. I will have to get that album. I used to have it on vinyl back in the good old days!

Pats got the chops, but I have a hard time of thinking of him as a "jazz" guitarist. He's too "new Age" for my tastes
He gets a bad rap in my opinion, but it's partly his fault for writing and performing all the commercial stuff he does.

He did a nice straight ahead album with John Scofield a few years ago called I Can See Your House From Here. There's a few tunes on it where they stomp on the distortion and let it rip for a few choruses Bill Stewart on drums too

His new trio album is really good. It is with Antonio Sanchez and Christian McBride. However, other FANTASTIC jazz guitarists are John Scolfield and Bill Frisell. It gets to a point where they are all so amazing you can't judge...

Well said. For me, it's apples and oranges that are being compared. Definitely depends on the mood and person.
