i went to see them in concert once, a long time ago. honestly, the opening act was manfred mann and they completely blew urian heep off the stage. it wasn't even close......
Robert and Ed. I am also a Pat Metheny fan and have had the great fortune to attend 12 of his live concerts over the years in/around Chicago, Phoenix and Tucson. My favorite edition of Metheny was the Pat Metheny Group. I saw them about 6 times at the Chicago Theater and once at Ravinia and once at The College of DuPage. The best venue by far from a listening point of view was the Chicago Theater. Best viewing was at The College of DuPage a rather small venue. Worst venue by far was Ravinia, an outdoor theater in the far north suburbs of Chicago. Sad day when I learned of the passing of Lyle Mays. I introduced my son and daughter to Pat's music at live concerts in Chicago and they became instant fans. My daughter used a guitar soloist at her wedding that played "September Fifteenth" as her processional. I think my personal favorite song by Pat is "The First Circle" although there are many other contenders. It was a sad day when I learned about the death of Lyle Mays, Later, Dave Sarther Tucson, AZ
Of all the music I enjoy, rarely if ever do I know the name of the piece...several years ago I became familiar with Pat Metheny when one of his pieces of music was used in a Publix Supermarket TV ad for the Christmas season....the ad featured a family traveling via Amtrak...to this day I don’t know the name of the song but I know it is performed by Metheny and I like it... I just know it as the “train song” Terry

Says Ed, but hey, didn't Crosby Stills Nash & Young came up with that line....
