Pat Metheny's 2020 Tour Schedule

**jaco** · 12-27-2019, 03:40 PM

Someone smarter than me please put the link up. This is insane. He's 65 years old. I remember Jim Hall saying "Pat's work ethic is ferocious". Start in Singapore and end the tour in Norway, in six months time, with stops from NewZealand to South America. Wife and I go to Europe for two and a half weeks and I'm beat. But then again I'm a year older than Pat....

Here you go: Pat Metheny : Schedule

Looks like it’s mostly Europe.

No UK dates. It must be a Brexit thing.

That's incredible! I wish him good health.

Don't tell Greta Thunberg, though! He's really using a lot of energy, and not just on stage. I'm joking and not seriously criticising him, of course, it's just that I personally know two international performers who have decided to cut down to almost zero the number of concerts that require flights. I wonder how many others are doing so? It could eventually really affect how great performers are seen in concert. That would be a great pity. He's a cool guy, so I wonder if he has put thought into offsetting his carbon footprint.

Sorry, I'm just musing on the near future..no more international tours?

Oh, thanks! There'll be a concert in my Hometown here next year. Wonderful.

Thanks for sharing the tour. Regarding the the age thing: I would like to believe, that nowadays in 2020s age 65 is considered to young. I insist

How on Earth could be this is a "Brexit thing"? He also do not touches multiple dozen countries even in Europe... Christian last thread is exactly about this. (I mean complexity bias)

Btw it is obvious that it is related to the last UFO thing.

Sorry - British irony. I didn't expect anyone to take me seriously....

... or to put it another way: Pat has always managed 2 or 3 UK dates on previous European tours. So, what hs changed for 2020?

I heard he didn't like Boris Johnson. He can't abide a guy who doesn't take care of his hair.
