A guest for Pat Metheny · Fri, 06 Mar 2020
Jazz guitarist Pat Metheny drew from his stellar 40 plus year career to deliver an adventurous set at Melbourne's Palais Theatre on Friday night. Accompanied by a most inspiring and committed Antonio Sanchez on drums, Gwilym Simcock on piano and Linda May oh Han on double bass, they ventured into the night with confidence and verve that almost new no bounds. Metheny began the night seated with his twin-neck acoustic guitar for a focused delivery of lucid grace noted and sparkling Kyoto-type sounds. It wasn't long before he was joined by his band fuelled by a special chemistry. Stretching back to the lead off track from his 1989 album Letter From Home , Have You Heard. With dynamics in the set highlighted by Sanchez"s drumming and Gwilym's piano sounds the night became more adventurous by the minute. Whether they were rocking with crazy intent on Metheny's and Sanchez's take on Trignometry from Metheny's Song X album where his guitar synth sounds muted and agitated the original horn sounds of the late Ornette Coleman or with another reflection on As Falls Witchita So Falls Witchita Falls, the set was at times breath taking. Ending with an acoustic blend from A Quiet Night prior to the standing ovation encore, Pat Metheny at The Palais was indeed a triumph of sound. Steve Scott

The mavericks were amazing. Raul's melodic voice came through beautifully on Blue Moon and Blue Bayou - spine tingling! Eddie was HOT , played to the crowd as usual, Robert was charming and full of smiles for the audience, and Paul as ever, kept everything under control with the sticks! And then there was JD!! Can that man dance and get the crowd going! He had a huge stage to play on and he made the most of it!!
Much as the management of the theatre and security tried to curb the crowd's enthusiasm, and dampen the atmosphere, with help from Raul we overcame them, and Danced the night away!!!!A guest for Mr. Bungle · Fri, 17 Mar 2000
This was my first Bungle experience and still feel the high to this very day...what a treat!
So pumped for the upcoming experience next year in 2024.
Not many opportunities in Australia to see this mad act....it's not funny! My ass is on fire!
