barolo on "Metheny's Unity Group"

Caught Pat Metheny and his Unity Group last night in Copenhagen and I'm totally stunned. I've seen Pat Metheny in various settings and venues/cities/countries approximately 20-25 times over the last 30 years. All I can say is that none of the previous concerts I've attended have been close to what I witnessed in Falconersalen, last night. His technique, drive, intensity, inspiration has never been on a higher level, and he's approaching 60. I would go as far as to say that he's in a league of his own right now. Not only guitar-wise but also music-wise.
To top things off he's surrounded with sheer mastery from his fellow band members. Chris Potter is a monster! Their duet version of "All the things..." contained some of the most breathtaking and mindblowing over-the-barline-stuff, and just plain hysterical improv, I've heard in my entire life.
Not only was the playing throughout the concert on a level of its own, but also the crisp and well defined sound, the perfect balance between old and new stuff and the well-composed structure of the entire concert - three consecutive hours and not a moment of dullness. If you have the chance to catch this tour, don't hesitate.
