pat metheny group - end of the game

this is one thought of mine towards a great artist

[@christophercoughlin9493]

PMG is my favorite group of all time, and I don't think there will be another like it, especially now that Lyle is gone. The creativity, the blending of different styles, the Brazilian influence, the beautiful and sometimes crazy melodies, the lovely and mesmerizing vocal arrangements. Always something new, always something different. Truly a one of a kind group.Cannot be duplicated.

[@jayfailing6714]

Every Time..every song by PMG, new set of feelings and dimension. Life long fan I am. Thanks Pat et al paranormal music.

[@Mweems007]

Oh hell yeah I am digin this song. So smooth

[@randytellez2451]

Pat is certifiably one of the greatest musical artists of all time. Lyle was equally great...always right in it.

[@mariadpinto]

Always loved this song, what a build up. I still and always will get chills when I hear it, brings me to another level...

[@delphinewhite715]

Everytime I think the Pat Metheny Group can't surpass themselves musically from what they've created and played before, they do, without fail. ' End of the Game' is another unbelievably powerful, full bodied, multi dimensional masterpiece. WOW!!!

[@henrywiley1496]

😅❤Yes Yes😂😊🎉

[@susanjohnson2068]

This is my favorite even over Are You Going…Me. About 4 months ago I ordered First Circle for this song. CD got scratched only on this song. I ordered it again am taking better care of it. I’d bet money that the driving composing was Lyle Mays it’s so melodic and ???? Just can’t explain it!!

[@andresa1963]

Whatever you say and I agree, but not even the Pat Metheny Group gives its tune due credit because I have never heard this track play live.

[@PeterBrown-mz4nv]

​@@andresa1963I saw them do this tune live in Princeton, NJ. 83 or 84. It didn't even have a title. Fantastic! Way more massive live. The drum sound at the end was unbelievable. Blew the walls off the place. I don't know why they didn't play the this tune more. It was incredible.

[@heldersufiano2816]

i heard live in jazz clube in Copenhagen i guess was in early 80,s 1984@@andresa1963

[@janvangelder1652]

I have been a big fan of Pat for many years now, I had the opportunity to be at one of his concerts in Utrecht in Holland in the 80's which I still treasure to this very day.This wonderful artist has made a very big impression on my life and I enjoy his music every day.

[@emirmuraticel2732]

Once Music of PMG gets in your mind there is no return Jan. I am 63 now and listening to PMG since 1977. It has become a life philosophy for me.

[@xxchinookxx]

When I was a D.J. in Honolulu, Hawaii for KHHH 98.5 (The Wave) in 1989, I would play this in my opening watch! Hours from 8PM-6AM

[@thelovinadolphins]

Thank you ...this tune throws me back to the time when a young man was at his glorious days

[@suzannahwm6520]

Pat's music is certainly enjoyed by all of us no matter what part of the world you are from. I'm a lover of music soooooo different to Pat's you wouldn't think I would love his stuff but he's one of my favourite artist right at the top along with some George Benson etc. Goes to show you can't judge people by the way they look or what they listen to. Pat, you bring so much joy to my life.

[@spencerkunikiwass4660]

He is transcendental and like you I bask in multiple genres at will..The more the better...

[@heldersufiano2816]

[@henrywiley1496]

Excellent night time driving score❤😊😅🎉

[@robynvirga3058]

Excellent anytime score! IMHO

[@summersbr1]

I was very fortunate to see them perform at Bronco Bowl Arena in Dallas in '98; awesome show!!! R.I.P. Lyle Mays

[@garyb7893]

stunning track from a incredible album.The magic these guys created is truly special(lyle mays rip)

[@sllupllpulls23]

This album was recorded & found on a cassette tape that was found in a BMW that my friend Tomas (toe-mass) stole in 1987 . . . I was not with him when he did it, but he did give me all the cassettes in a nice red cassette tape holder & a pretty bad ass skateboard with a skull on the bottom of it. I eventually bought a used copy of First Circle on CD from Aarons records in Hollywood needless to say they are no longer in business . . . Imagine that . . .

[@johnwwhite2]

Awesome dynamics; Pat and the band evolve constantly, no matter the group's makeup. He's a giant, and they are too.

[@martinamoura5934]

i love pat metheny group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrHighgate123]

Been a fan for 30 years plus my favourite band ever seen them 12 times live and looking forward to seeing him in Coventry and the Barbican(the next day) in nov 17,had such a dramatic effect on my life more than anything or anyone his music touches every part of me and remains there forever.

[@robynvirga6160]

I love you Pat, and your music, even more!

[@emirmuraticel2732]

It seems like it was a dream ,Lyle,Paul, Pat and Steve. Such a dynamic, versatile band ,their music was always way beyond .RIP dear Lyle and Nana .

[@pangeaproxima3681]

His collaboration with Justin Bieber is also very good, _Baby, What Did You Have For Breakfast Today?_ well recommended.

[@MsMiguelibarra]

Wow!!! Metheny his trademark is his sound, the combination of acustic and electric instruments set him apart from other musicians. I remember seen him in a concert in Strasburg France with The Pat Metheny Group, 3 hours of magnificent jazz and a transportation to other world. This guy is unique a truly great musician with all the guys that perform with him. Regards from Mexico!!!

[@doloresnaon7679]

Acompañándome a lo largo de toda mi vida!

[@leoreetz354]

great Music. dramatic. beautiful

[@darkolorisdellera7051]

Che musica!! Peccato si siano sciolti anni fa, e poi Lyle non c'è più da tempo..😢😢 Comunque, tantissima roba!! Ogni volta che li riascolto, volo!!! Pochissimi hanno fatto musica come loro, chapeau!!!

[@gmcummings]

Great post!!! LOVE THIS SONG...the images you added are nice too. Glad I found this! Pat is INCOMPARABLE!

[@jason430305]

This is my favorite Pat Metheny's song with 'To The End Of The World'. It's awesome!

[@mishun1]

I have this album on wax, one of my prized peices

[@TheLindadolores]

perdi el album, y gracias a el que lo subio puedo escuchar esta cancion que es una de mis favoritas, te amo Pat, eres Unicoooooooo!!!!!!!!

[@gmcummings]

Great song! Cool video! First Circle is an AWESOME album. So many super songs on there. Thanks for posting!

[@simonsaheen5900]

One of his absolute best guitar synth solos imho, right there with To the End of the World (We Live Here), Third Wind (Still Life), Panama (with Gary Burton on Reunion), The Heat of the day (Imaginary Day), Story to a Stranger (Rejoicing), the Longest Summer (Secret Story), Question and Answer (Trio Live version from 2000) and Song of Moses (with Bob Moses). 💙🎶

[@M3TaGh0sStT]

Agreed. End of the world and third wind esp

[@galinirob]

Thanks for posting....When i first got this album on vinyl, i used to skip this track (shame on me). there was something grating about it; However, after resisting and listening more and more its now become one of my favorite Metheny tracks ; the guitar synth solo is SO awesome...let it rip!

[@bernardpiallat8354]

Andreas…j’écoute depuis 1985 en Grèce… merci à toi, loueur de planches à voile autrichien à Patras de me l’avoir fait écouter…Te souviens tu de moi, Nanard, animateur chez Syrtaki Tour …. Depuis, Andreas est toujours là, chez moi. Merci à toi et bonne vie!!!!!

[@leboeuf05]

havent listened to this for ages...fucking awaesome! forgot how good it is...love other bands tracks etc, but PMG is the only stuff that touches my soul, and takes me to places, other music cant.

[@67Tam]

Una poesia 🎶🎶, non smetterò mai di ascoltare questa meraviglia! Grazie!!

[@Belamarimages]

I wish they record something like that again!! First Circle!!! Last ECM PMG album!

[@jjsc4396]

Even PM has said First Circle is one of his favourite albums, also David Blamires, Billy Childs, etc. Yet, it is somehow often overlooked by many PM fans🤔 it, and Travels are my favourites.

Lo mejor de esos años no se compara con nada escuchado, la musica de hoy es basura saludos.

[@JoseluisdeHOU]

It is amazing how this song sounds as if it was written just few days ago....

[@eloisabreu]

Conheci a música de Pat Metheny quando do lançamento do primeiro LP PMG. Foi paixão na primeira oitiva, pensei "... Esse vai longe..." Comprei o LP em uma loja de discos chamada DOWNTOWN no Centro do RJ. END OF THE GAME é uma obra prima, irretocável e irrepreensível, e perfeita para ouvidos e mentes muito sensíveis.

[@bradgarrison7256]

ha i don't even know how to describe how this music makes me feel..so strange. like i know someone might think its cheesy or something but i can't really care, because its feels so good. somehow i started to listening to pmg in my teens, like 13 .. I don't know whether its just because i was listening to it at that time, and music you hear at that age is always special for you, has an immediate effect on your nervous system, even many many years later..or maybe this music really is that special

[@billystar8831]

35 Grammy Nominations. 20 Grammy Awards. That is not cheese. That is Champagne. Some of the best ever made.

[@tubellarbells]

Lucky me I found your video of this, one of my favourite tracks from FIRST CIRCLE, to end my Facebook day now. Greetings from Chile.

[@fendweller]

Naughty - the menu pic makes it look like a live vid, which would be rare because they didn't play this one much. Instead it's the studio version. I can get that at home!

[@VIRGONOMICS]

High School - Spring Break New York , Winter still almost.... '84 - thank you.

Love that ending drum riff! Who IS that drummer?

[@vegastyphoon]

deepkeel65 Paul wertico

[@vegastyphoon]

this album earned a Grammy

[@PeterBrown-mz4nv]

The drumming at the end is unison between Paul Wertico on drum set on his floor tom, and instrumentalist Pedro Aznar on huge tom toms with mallets. I saw this tune live, and you can't imagine how massive the drums sounded. Blew the walls off the place.

[@summersbr1]

I love this song, so beautiful. I wonder who are the voices in the background that blend in so nicely with the music beginning @ 6:30 to the end. So smooth......

[@dan12959]

Hello…I seen Pat and the the guys do this performance at the Alpine. Unbelievable show. But to answer that question…That is Armando Marcal, great singer and musician. He does a lot of music with Pat but is famous also in Latin America…Peace.

[@ericravitz8134]

there are no voices in this song lol

[@dan12959]

Eric Ravitz Yes there is…There are no words sung,but towards the end of the song is Armando. He has a beautiful voice and he harmonizes a lot on Pats songs. He does sing a lot ,listen to 'The Dream of the Return' or "Vidala"…Peace.

[@dan12959]

Pedro Aznar and Armando Marcal are background vocals. I seen Pat Metheny,Lyle Mays,Steve Rodby,Paul Wertico,Pedro Aznar and Armando Marcal do the whole ' First Circle' concert at Park West in Chicago. I believe it was 1984. Unfucking real…Been listening since like 79-80…I have all his music and I have 3,000.00 in speakers Eric. So…yes there is vocals...

[@dan12959]

dan12959 Sorry…both Pedro Aznar and Armando Marcal were vocals and I seen the show at the Park West( not Alpine Valley ) Chicago, I believe it was84 cuz I seen the 'Off Ramp' show in 86. Anyway…Peace.

@vincentjacque j'entends ma mère ! MDR ! Je suis un gros fan de Pat et il est vrai qu'il fait pas mal dans le sombre mais toujours avec une pointe de "soleil" ! cela dit, il y a pas mal de titres très enjoués dans son répertoire. A toi de les découvrir, ou si je peux t'aider, y'a pas de soucis !
