First heard The Pat Metheny Group c. 1984 as a teenager..........now I am 56 years old and this is as good as it gets....! Seriously raw talent from tbis band and at such a young age back then. Great to have such gifted people play music for us.....I'll die happy listening to Metheny...........

From the American Garage record. I saw them perform this entire record live onstage at the Paradise rock club in Boston early 1970's. I love that record, it was recorded here in Massachusetts at Longview Farms studio. RIP Lyle Mays.

In 1978 I was a high school kid, a pretty good guitarist, playing the Hollywood venues like Gazzarri's and The Whisky, and a couple of the epic mansion parties in South Pasadena and Flintridge. Eddie Van Halan was the The One; he could scarf handfulls of qualudes and drink Jack lDaniels until his gaze was disconjugate and he could barely stand, but he could shred like nobody before; it was clear that he was a conduit, and his fingers were being moved by another force. Then one day while hanging out at a record/head shop in Glendale called The Sound Experience , the owner put on a record called The Pat Metheny Group. I currently own about 30 Metheny recordings. I have never purchased a Van Halen record.

My first Pat Metheny concert was in 1980 at the chapel on the UVermont campus in Burlington. He played this, Unity Village, Phase Dance, San Lorenzo - and an early version of As Fall Witchita, among other songs. Breathtaking - changed my musical life for good and I've seen Pat nearly 20 times in concert - Waltham, Philadelphia, Seattle, Raleigh....The Way Up, to me, is the peak of his art. I so hope that the PMG reunites, though the Unity Group is wonderful as well.

If someone were to ask me to “Express ecstasy, but without using words,” I would dial up this extraordinary video, sequence forward to Metheny’s brilliant solo, and tell him to watch Metheny’s face as he seduces one joyous melody after another out of his guitar. “There,” I would say. “That’s ecstasy.” Ecstasy. Mystical exaltation. Oneness with the _Tao._ Joy.

This is not a good gig, the song goes wrong (Pat's amp goes wrong?) yet Lyle and Pat turn it into an incredible improvisation. These Cats were on the road 250 nights a year, there were some klunkers and yet in the midst of 'that night in Berlin when everything went to shit' they brought out some fantastic live music. Metheny probably loathes that this performance is on KZbin for the world to see but it's actually an example of the best of what live improvised music can be. This is a special moment in time.
@yurolson3 ай бұрын
This gig was in Hamburg - 1980 - at a local club that I used to go see dixieland bands in on Sunday afternoon. Literally a local hang that attracted some good names including Al Jarreau - this is the place that launched Al. The music sounds good to me - even thought they would probably find piles and kaka - but what a gift to have been there. To have played this stuff - written it - and just been in it.

My first PMG concert was with this lineup of musicians, Pat, Lyle, Mark Egan (bass) and Danny Gottleib (drums) in Missoula, Montana of all places. Back in the day, PMG rocked it a little harder with their compositions like Airstream and other tunes in the PMG book and they never disappointed with their powerful, forceful, outstanding music and musicianship. Sure wish Pat would return to "group mode" again, their early performances were so fresh and astounding.
