    Fabulous! Lovely to be able to see another video from this wonderful band. Great to be able to perform 'in the round' too. Maybe not so great for Dave since we only get to see the back of his head, - but the bass was sublime, and the overall sound mix really good. A cracking solo from Pete in true Pat Metheney style, and Hattie as superb as ever. Really looking forward to the album release!
