Show Notes (by Ted Foos)

This the second night of a little publicized two-night engagement of The Pat Metheny Trio at The Catskill Rose Restaurant in Mount Tremper, NY. Catskill Rose is a tiny place, the dining room seats 45 and the bar area holds about 10 more, which made for a surreally intimate setting for playing of this caliber.
Although the venue was small there was no skimping on "sonic hardware", which was tightly packed around the trio at one end of the dining area. Pat had his usual rig and David Oakes and Carolyn Chrzan were on hand, supporting in the sound engineering and guitar technician roles respectively.

The show begins with a couple of quiet solo acoustic ballads (if you listen closely you can hear the crickets chirping outside), "Never Too Far Away" and "Slow Hot Wind". After "Song For The Boys", Pat introduces drummer Antonio Sanchez and Scott Colley, who is featured on bass in this incarnation of the Metheny Trio. At this point the show became incredibly loud, it was by far the loudest Metheny show I've ever attended, yet the sound was very clear. Not a "regular" in the trio, Colley often scrambled between tunes to organize his sheet music (to the amusement of Metheny and Sanchez). However, his playing was in my opinion superb and added a unique perspective and freshness to these tunes that any fan of the Metheny Trio should by now be familiar with.

At the time of this performance, "Day Trip" and "At Last You're Here" had working titles of "Number 13" and "Number 10", respectively.
