I was a camera operator (the one over Lyle's right shoulder) on that pilot. It was an ACL crew for the most part, but this was not an Austin City Limits. It was a pilot called "Every Tub On Its Own Bottom". We also had Freddie Hubbard, different shoot/night. I will never ever forget that night.I "lost it" and "became one" with the performance and my instrument, an old RCA studio camera. Beautiful. But, PBS did not buy the pilot. Pity.

Pity indeed. What a phenomenal show that would have been. Surprised to hear they didn’t pick it up particularly after that performance! So great you were there to experience it.

Much love from L.A. Cali. I know you were in awe. That is wild. I was introduced to Lyle mays and Pat with Secret Story (my first concert as a kid). Worked my way back to all of their early music. So great you were able to be there for this! Thanks for sharing

This is my favorite era of the Pat Metheny Group ,... caught them live doing these tunes and others from "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls" and without doubt it was one of the best concerts I've ever witnessed ! They were so good that they created a magical like atmosphere that had the audience amazed and naturally high... I'm not kidding, it was straight crazy ! R.I.P. Lyle Mays !!!

I got to see the Pat Metheny Group when this album first came out in a small college coffee shop venue where me an my girlfriend were in the first row about 8 feet from Pat Metheny with the rest of the group stuffed onto a small stage right in front of us as well. I will never forget the power of that performance.

It’s so awesome. It looks like they invited 2500 of their best friends to watch them practice. Love how they are facing each other and not the audience. Lol. So young and ready to change the very face of fusion jazz forever. What a time!!!!! Btw nice sweater Mark.

@Richardiba 5 ай бұрын

Beautiful performance. "San Lorenzo" sounds as beautiful as ever, and despite never hearing "Wrong is Right" before, it sounds so familiar; almost like it's a variation of "Lone Jack". The showstopper has to be "Jaco"; the accompaniment really gives that accomplished Mark Egan solo lots of bounce. A masterclass in playing from the whole team.

@@robtullius7540 I just saw him on his Dreambox tour. He has *not* lost his energy. It was an amazing show and I really liked the conversational version of Pat. Also he does do group work (Side-Eye or Unity Group,for instance) but PMG was Pat *and *Lyle. Without Lyle there can not ba a PMG. I do love this version of the group from those early, slightly more raw, days. I first saw him live in 1980 while they were working up the As Falls Wichita material and they performed this unnamed 'work in progress for 20 minutes. It was amazing.

Ok so my favorite part of this video (thank you @concertsintehwoods4845) is at the end of Lyle's solo on phase Dance and the camera pans to a couple in the audience. I dare say that they are not even breathing then @5.10 the solo ends and a collective sigh and breath (the girl) Is like and what just happened as she pulls back to get her arms free and be part of the applause... Sums it all up. Oh to have been there in '77 they had played NTSU several times during this period in Denton TX where i was lucky enough to see them.

I'm talking, of course, about the use of Prell Shampoo and Tame Conditioner. There was simply no other way to get that amount of lift and volume from a full head of hair.
