Pat Metheny Group - As falls Wichita, so falls Wichita Falls - Live

[@Tom-kf3cb]

Ich habe diese Musik 1986 entdeckt. Mein Gott waren wir jung!! Pat, bitte bleibe uns!

[@MrHighgate123]

Without doubt one of the best live albums ever recorded im addicted to it the cover everything the whole thing tells a story a masterpiece that should be in every record collection.

LOVE Lyle Mays quote on this song: Mays: “One of the devices that film makers have available to them is the juxtaposition of opposite elements to achieve more nuanced and complex results. What happens in the listener’s mind is that the brain tries to make sense of it and can often come up with a very interesting story, far more interesting than what we might have in mind.” So he KNEW…. This has always been my favorite Mays/Metheny song. Thank You Lyle and RIP ❤🫡❤

[@tobypuente8841]

Lyle was so innovative, and with such a delicate, incisive mind. We sure miss Lyle

This brings back a lot of awesome memories of seeing the PMG live. What a band! Nana was a one in a billion musician.

[@KevinMJLeiva]

Both the live and studio versions of this track are outstanding in their own right for very different reasons. A darkened room with a large glass of quality whisky listening to both tracks is a joy to behold. Masterpiece

[@deemoe7301]

Kevin M J Leiva I will take your advice, being a huge fan of PM. Love this album. Thank you!

[@KGAprabhu]

Kevin M J Leiva a large whiskey is a joy full stop :)

Conjurerers, that what Pat and Lyle are. Thanks for the post😊

[@gaiaangelique4492]

Travels is full of beautiful stories. I love this album, the musicians, the sound, the moods, every little bit of it. Pat and Lyle are geniuses. That whole GROUP is amazing! I love every single note :D

[@jamesmedley8795]

Years ago, when I lived in Texas, I used to travel up to Wichita Falls with friends that lived there, and I would play this song on the stereo cassette in the car, and the title of the song was no accident. The music perfectly reflected the landscape and the journey. Love this!

[@franzjosephamrein2663]

I can't describe this music it's like talking touch my soul it's like your own life story all the past you're such good but he was only the one what makes you very heavy and very high that's vibration such a grateful man

I heard this for the first time in the mid 80's in Jerusalem's Sultan's Pool, live. It was exquisite. Hadn't changed a bit.

[@357CLOUDY]

Thanks for this. Had to get back to the good music. His guitar was sweeter sounding then.

Yes, irreplaceble

[@luismoralesz]

Nada define a Pat Metheny con tanta precisión como este tema, yo diria su obra cumbre. también podria llamarse "atmosferas", la primera parte es una suave introducción en guitarra muy armoniosa y poco a poco comienza (min. 3.50) "a desordenarse" o revelarse a una etapa mas energica con los coros de fondo, o acompañando al cambio de situación y la orquesta que te lleva a un electrificante final, los sonidos introducidos se acoplan muy bien a la complejidad del tema. En el min. 6.30 Pat Methney ordena la orquesta haciendo un alto (podria ser II parte) para darle orden al cambio y se vuelve a suceder una cadencia de instrumentos que impresionan por el resultado. (Min. 11.30 parece que sueñas y los sonidos son etereos), Todo se conjuga armoniosamente en esta composición tan impresionante

[@davidsantiagomorenomoreno8519]

Excelente análisis y comentario.

[@hamontyh9326]

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. 20 años he escuchado este tema desde que me fue obsequiado el cd original sello ECM y no he encontrado mejor definición que la que acabas de dar.Mi otra obsesion es el 1er tema del CD2:extradition

[@luismoralesz]

Gracias por el comentario voy a escuchar el tema que dices, te cuento que tuve la suerte de ver Pat Metyheny group en la gira "Secret History", varios temas impresionantes

[@xtremenortherner]

Thanks for loading this one...,a bit hard to find on the interwebs!

[@KevinMJLeiva]

Main reason for uploading - I love both versions but the live one just pips it

[@sialatorah]

Final part (and best one) missing???

[@jameshall1816]

Makes today's "music" absurd!

[@lacessamino]

Writing on the bathroom wall at work brought me here LOL

[@KevinMJLeiva]

?

[@lacessamino]

Kevin M J Leiva someone wrote the name of this song on the wall in the bathroom stall at my job.

[@KevinMJLeiva]

Lol. Pat's music clearly reaches the parts no other music can!

[@Hallainmazeeee]

Hey Kevin, could you upload or recommend where to find the studio version

[@KevinMJLeiva]

Hi Norbert, your wish is my command. Studio version is now available. If you haven't already done so please subscribe to my channel. Thanks

[@KevinMJLeiva]

Hi Norbert. I've just got a message from youtube advising me that the uploaded studio version of this track has been copyright blocked by UMC. I'll see whether it's available somewhere else and let you know

[@mickeypurcell1675]

Lacoste Kio 6:30 the best composed bit initiated.saw performance early eighties in a jazz club in downtown Norfolk, eith Lyle Mays. quaint little club thst catered to military officers it was do incredibly amazing to see such talent on a weeknight eith less than 50 people in the club. Surreal, to say the least, one of my most memorable experiences of my life....

[@sinfo]

I appreciate misterious intros, but this track needs some good cuts!

[@franzjosephamrein2663]

Do you know what's the meaning of this piece of music i can't feel what it means nothing good

[@marcolforoso4001]

@@franzjosephamrein2663 good cuts! What is "nothing good"? If I cut something, the rest is soooo good, for me! Understood?

[@rascalndear]

This is not Wichita Falls WTF?

[@KevinMJLeiva]

This is the Live version released on a double cd on ECM

[@rascalndear]

It's not the piece called As Falls Wichita Falls... that's a long instrumental that opens without a noticeable melody. This is something else altogether. Unfortunately, UMG has banned most of this album from KZbin and for some reason PMG does not seem to have included any of this music in their concert programs. Offramp is also underrepresented, other than "Are you going with me?" but at least it's available online.

[@KevinMJLeiva]

it is most definitely as falls Wichita....just Pat's different live version.

[@sinfo]

I did the cult. It results a Splendid audio of 5'50''

[@KevinMJLeiva]

With all due respect, who are you to alter a beautiful piece of music just because there are bits of it you don't like!

[@marcolforoso4001]

🙂@@KevinMJLeiva A man with two beautiful and functional apps in his phone: one to extract the sound from youtube and one to made the requested cut from it! I am very happy and proud of the result! And I keep it for myself: I am also eghoist!😜

With all due respect, "a large glass of whisky" hell. It's meant for good acid in the right environment!

[@KevinMJLeiva]

Let's be honest to enjoy a piece of genius music (that this is) then you really do not need to take any illegal substances.

[@spikespa5208]

Not at all sure this piece is compatible with that s___. Herb? Maybe.
