As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays

[@azjames8789]

I used to watch this video often but then one day it disappeared. I figured that ECMs restrictive policies is what got it taken down. I'm so happy to see that it is back up again. The perfect video for the perfect song!

[@fouadb4661]

Génial ! I used to listening PM music and watching beautiful landscapes through railtrains windows during my travels ! This is one of those marvellous traks I enjoy listening

[@robertroth9562]

this album is arguably the best jazz fusion album ever made. made me learn to appreciate Lyle Mays as much as Pat Metheny. Both are musical geniuses, may Lyle rest in peace.

[@erobinidcf]

This music is wonderful and will live on forever thanks to Pat's genius and of course Lyle s keyboards R I P

[@koaguilds]

Brilliant electric 12 string work by Pat on this one.

[@erobinidcf]

I agree totally BUT dont forget Lyle pls R I P Gone but never forgotten his brilliant musical input

[@JoseChristiansen-j1s]

Me gusta mucho este video de Pat Metheny es excelente que maravillosa música tiene este guitarrista

[@artiehall7708]

This landscape could just as easily be mid-Ohio, in February. The snow didn't get deep enough to be fun. Just cold and annoying. But still, it brings back memories of when I lived there. (Lived in Texas too, but as a child, and don't remember much.)

[@jjsc4396]

Lyle’s concluding movement from 14:05 is a completely evocative, absolutely masterful composition for Synthesizers and organ. And this was in 1980! Unbelievable 🎼

[@davidj.7779]

So happy to see this video up again. I've really missed it. Finding it coincided with the delivery today of my new Edifier R2000db speakers.....What a way to break them in!!!

[@deadzahead]

I got a pair or Roger’s BBC monitor LS35A original 1978 uk hooked with a sub woofer for each speaker complete balance sounds out of this world ,subs match the speakers so perfectly, they were made by my hi Fi engineer friend who also made me a power supply with massive cable and solid copper bridging , unreal x

[@mikes8149]

I received a pair of Eddifier R1700 speakers for Christmas ladt year (2023). They sound great. Just listened to this on them while watching bits of this vid. Love ever moment of this brilliant track! Thanks!

[@gordonschenck1672]

This appears to me to be the Osage Plains in winter. Imagine listeninging to this, driving from Dallas to Amarillo in August, as i did when this first came out. Both visions are surreal. The music is beyond surreal. It is mind bending...and time bending.

[@oystertoadfish1149]

I geeked out and think it’s the Southwest Chief from Kansas City to Chicago. Travels through Missouri, Iowa, into Illinois. Looked at a lot of highway overpasses , on-ramps and parallels. Looks very much like a stretch from Fort Madison, IA to Galesburg, IL. All I really know for sure is this video really captured my winters in that area.

[@bobbogr1]

my favorite jazz rack anywhere,,,,,by anyone.

[@bobbogr1]

saw PMG a few times in the 80s.......sort unparalleled......and I have seen many times ......in various ensembles..... never liked anything he did more than his work with lyle.

[@vivasangabriele1608]

Had the luck to attend a Pat Metheny Group concert in 1982, in Germany. The band was dreamily amazing. The Sky’s inspired starship crew were: Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Steve Rodby, Dan Gottlieb and Nana Vasconcelos. ❤💫✨

[@thomaspotschka5387]

Düsseldorf Phillipshalle? That was first time, I saw them!

[@vivasangabriele1608]

[@steveogle3679]

Great to see this again. Pat Metheny is indeed a artist of the open spaces. Thank you.

[@lablaine1981]

Still reminds me of a developing thunderstorm ⛈️ on the Minnesota prairie,then 1985, now 2024... Headphones 🎧 a must,or windows wide open⛈️☔⚡🌧️

[@erobinidcf]

@@lablaine1981 Driving a must for this great track from Lyle & Pat. R I P Lyle you left us too soon !Keyboards are not the same without you !!

[@admintheparkapp6215]

I went to high school near Wichita Falls on the Red River in the 70's my interpretation of this music, or the way I related to it, was about the tornado that hit there in 1979 that cut a swath across west WF cut through a popular mall called Sykes Center and along Midwestern State University. I went to school with some of the casualties. Thanks for posting it

[@palma641]

Che dire un apoteosi,con Pat Metheny group si sogna il bello della vita ❤

[@sigil5772]

Totally appropriate video. Love arriving at the end!

[@cyprescrow]

magical.

[@juanhuaiquipan8755]

Exquisita melodía y muy acorde con las imágenes del video, realmente encantador.

[@MikeDial]

This was a great idea pairing this footage with this music; both are hypnotizing. The footage could just as easily be western Ohio as Kansas or Iowa.

[@silaspatterson9858]

Thank you for putting this video on I absolutely love the song and the scenery.once upon a time I used to post magazine subscription cards on college campus sites. The money was great but scenery like this was even greater. 50 years ago and I miss it more than ever. Once again thank you and let's see more.

We're heading to a wedding 😊

[@mercedescastro3487]

Me alucino conocer la misteriosa ruta asiatica y.sus hermosos templos milenarios fluyendo con esta obra de.arte .Gracias pat Matheny

[@bradleyshaffer219]

i am glad to see it's back!! Eric R please tell us again where the train traveled.

[@henrysilva7853]

Superb ..thanks for post it again ...

[@corinnedavignon9500]

C'est magnifique...

[@oldschoolruler]

Thank you for sharing this... again. Perfect!

[@oystertoadfish1149]

So happy this is back up. I have looked for it for a couple of years. This is a perfect landscape for this song. A lot of his music evokes midwestern themes…and though this composition with Lyle Mays may have seemed progressive at the time, it is timeless. He talks about that with Rick Beato in their seminal interview. Early albums with songs Unity Village, and Lone Jack were titled from/about nearby locations growing up in Lees Summit, Missouri. I encourage every fan of PM to find the recent book “Beneath Missouri Skies” by Carolyn Glenn Brewer written about his growing up there (she is a childhood friend and he authorized the book). This video has several landmarks and prompted me to trace that train route from KC though Illinois…presumably to Chicago. Yes, I am indeed a PMG nerd…proudly.

[@ponchogonzalez9740]

​@oystertoadfish1149 My father was crazy about finding this video, I even did my research in the waybackmachine (a web that has a backup of nearly all the internet) still no results, today I give it a search again, and both were shocked of what we see, and indeed it was the one we see back at 2016.

[@DaniLipera-wf3zk]

Excelente video sobre una Música Celestial. Gran trabajo de quien armó este video. Quería consultarles si es posible que hace tiempo hubiera un video muy similar en YT que no encuentro. Saludos y muchas gracias

[@jamesparrot4821]

the key change at 18:17 sounds like Ravel ...

[@mercedescastro3487]

Mi transporte alucinante me a llevado por los.templos nepaleses y budistas con regreso a vietnam

[@SergioMLTarrero]

Hey Eric R, this looks like a fan video. It's really cool. Did you make it, or do you know who did? I'd love to see it at a nicer resolution than 360p. Do you know the location where it was shot? The specific train ride? Thanks!!

[@dezecr8or]

14:54 starts the Fahrenheit commercial medley

[@twoninetwosevenone]

Can anyone identify the rail line ???

[@peterbeater6551]

This video was taken down awhile ago, In the previous comments was mentioned that this was central Illinois

[@GLCTLC]

September was swept away,, lovers lost in the same way And, the train departed but never empty. I tiptoe across the tracks, the curling leaves they are golden crisp with the colors of an autumn of a forgiveness that knows of a memory that is shared forevermore🕊🦁🌟🐑🌈🦋🎶🦋The children laughed upon the nearness to Halloween. Tinkerbell was there and so was Hook, the real Peter Pan kept close to a Neverland, while the oldest of his lost boys relayed storie of teaching young MJ how to ride a Lama. I tiptoe across the curling leaves. They are golden crisp with the colors of an autumn of a forgiveness that knows of a memory that is shared forevermore🕊🦁🌟🐑🌈🦋🎶🦋Run, jump, leap, and tumble, in an ending that will never own me. Psalms 127 -2:3-5. 🏹That's all. 💘
