PS - Stephen Stills is a musical genius for being able to write such a beautiful song. I guess that's what happens when you're in love and you have that kind of talent. Believe he played all the instruments in the studio version except for some percussion.
I decided to spend some time this evening listening to some Stephen Stills and found this gem of him playing solo.

Seen Pat Metheney solo live last night. 70 years and still accurately playing 2h15 sets without a break. New for him: he spoke a lot about his childhood and early days, explained his guitars. He admitted that he barely spoke in the past decades during concerts. Excellent concert ranging from acoustic to experimenting with screeching and thundering chaos noises.

His hairdo: as he holds his head horizontal most of the concert, we saw his 'bird nest' moving left and right most of the time.

Fun fact: he explained that he was looking for a specific type of nylon strings nowhere to be found, saw a YouTube video, ordered the nylon strings straightaway via Amazon and the package arrived a day before the start of his concert tour. Curious as he was, he used the new strings and was smitten by it, even to the point that he decided to use the strings during the tour and to record a new album with it.

Was performed as one of the two encore songs: "Sueño con México":



Was also performed: his deconstructed/reconstructed version of Jobim's "The Girl From Ipanema":

Wow, last night I kept watching music videos and couldn't stop. Right before I was ready to give it up and go to bed, I spotted this 1980 video of Linda Ronstadt in an HBO special. I'd never watched it before so I gave it a look. I didn't make it to bed for another 1 1/2 hours.

Peter Asher was a great producer and manager for Linda Ronstadt. This was about the time when she was doing Pirates of Penzance. According her bio, Asher was very accommodating as her manager when she wanted to go outside her genre. But he asked her to do shows like this and record songs in her staple country rock genre that he could release while she was off experimenting with broadway and Spanish language music.


If you like her music and you have 90 minutes, this is for you. Great video work, great sound, and some of the finest musicians of that time backing her up, all great studio musicians each with amazing resumes.

Peter Asher - Manager Percussions & Harmony

Dan Dugmore - Guitar

Kenny Edwards - Banjo Guitar Harmonies

Bob Glaub - Bass

Danny Kortchmar - Guitar

Russ Kunkel - Drums

Bill Payne - Piano

Wendy Waldman - Vocal Backing

Thank you for sharing this. Amazing talent.

Here is one of my favorites from Pat Metheny playing "And I Love Her". I never get tire of this!

During this tour he regularly closes his gig with "And I Love Her" (The Beatles) as second encore. Not this week though.

After playing on his acoustic guitar a medley of "Alfie", "Rainy Days and Mondays", "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", "Garota de Ipanema" and "Last Train Home", he joked that someone shouted during another concert to play "Last Train Home". He replied: "Well, the last song I just played: that was "Last Train Home" !".

Those who fell asleep during the first acoustic intimate part of the gig, got poked when he changed guitar and started yanking it (as if he were the say: "OK, enough pillow talk for now - about time to spice up some things here"). And they definitely were brutally awoken when he subsequently went nuts with experimental noises from his most controversial album ("Zero Tolerance for Silence"). Pat became 'Evil Pat' for a couple of minutes. "Some people brought the record back to the store", he quipped.

"La Crosse":

Great story. I never did get a chance to see him live. I was reading about Pat Metheny this morning and learned that he grew up in a musical household and started with trumpet. According to Wikipedia, his main influences were Miles Davis (of course), the Beatles, and Wes Montgomery.

I was lucky enough to see Wes Montgomery perform live at the Lighthouse in the '60s. I can certainly see why Metheny was so intrigued. Such a unique sound.

He explained that, indeed, a trumpet was his first musical instrument. His older brother Mike played it (and still plays it) "and he's very good at it, unlike me, I was bad". He was interested by guitars but couldn't convince his parents to get him one. At some moment his parents allowed him to buy a guitar "but with my own money". He added that he went through all the stages, playing "The House Of The Rising Sun" and so on. The rest is history. Someone had told him that he had already 53 albums, a number he wasn't aware about, actually. Also funny: at some point in-between two songs, he said that ever since his childhood days he dreamt of ever tuning his guitar during a concert while talking to the audience. "I thought that it was a cool thing to do. So I'm gonna do that right now. Look, I'm tuning my guitar while talking to you. You see ? But now I got to come up with a good story. Still tuning...". The audience laughed, of course. And upon spotting someone in the front of the audience with a Metallica T-shirt, he said that he liked that his music appealed to many people.

Good stuff...thanks for sharing. Beautiful voice. Shame she is dealing with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) now and it makes it very difficult/impossible for her to sing anymore.
