Wish Lyle wasn’t gone!!!!!! But I know he’s now mesmerising those who never heard him on earth!!!!!! Love you brother. You will never be forgotten!!!!!!

[@andreas-xf1te]

RIP Genius! You’re a LEGEND

[@Pyriew]

Mays is so underrated. He's amazing

[@maruzik]

+Pyriew, I totally agree. He is absolutely extraordinaire...

[@Rainbower62]

stimmt, es ist ein Rätsel, warum ... eine Anwort vielleicht: er lotet immense Dimensionen aus, die Erinnerungen an längst verlorene Gefühle anstoßen, und das katapultiert viele auf eine Dimension , mit der man erst einmal klar kommen muss, man lässt alles hiner sich wie kurz vor dem Tod

[@lemonderangello]

while i agree he's underrated by joe blow, i also think he's rated pretty highly among us. for him to be rated highly among those who don't already understand his talent level and artistry (joe blow), is to be holding out on the dream that humanity would transcend its primitive, instant gratification, popularity worshiping, superficial, brain washed core. on the flip side, i wish lyle would bust a move on some new tracks and become a traveling, musical evangelist again, either solo or in a group... but that's my own wet dream it seems.

[@pcmaclean]

And to do this all so seamlessly ... six musicians playing extraordinarily complex music, filled with multiple polyrhythms and sudden stops and starts popping up out of nowhere - ALL without referring to charts or sheets of written music ....ALL depending on each other to nail their respective parts... I mean I don’t see a single chart anywhere ... it’s nothing less than phenomenal

[@stuartdryer1352]

It is symphonic. So many themes, crazybtime changes. Such long forms. This stuff is really really hard!

[@tiffanydouglas2686]

Lyle Mays killed it with the piano solo! Nice tune! Loved it!

[@federicopivetta7387]

He was such an amazing keyboard player. As a classically trained pianist who also plays jazz he was one of my favorites ever.

[@misjase]

The performance, and that majestic intro by Lyle, warrants a live CD all on its own...

[@pedrofeitoza]

Rest in peace, Lyle Mays

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

RIP Lyle Mays 🎹

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

200 years ahead this will be the new classical music Wonderfull and Pure

[@Fazoo2245]

Music has saved my spirit; Dr.'s Mays and Metheny are miracle workers, and so inexpensive!

[@hobie1dog]

Defines the word, talent. One of the world's most gifted musicians. I would love to thank him in person for enriching my life.

[@kevinlane4587]

I too would like to thank him in person for enriching my live. thanks for stating so succinctly a thought that has been percolating inside me for a long time

[@paulinesellars4177]

I did once - he got hold of my hand and thanked me for travelling to the concert!

[@jimbrunsman1011]

This video demonstrates why this was one of the greatest musical groups in the history of music. Seeing these guys do this live was an experience I'll never forget

[@ktfiox]

the best and most advanced jazz composition ever-LYLE MAYS

[@marinoscarpa895]

That Mays introduction solo is so magical, i see the Ocean, on a ship of the nineteenth century about to sink...

[@Gordenstein]

This is a very genius composition : Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny are two monsters of the music.

[@Classic.Hits-335.artists]

Isn't this incredible and inspiring beyond words? Unbelievable! Fantastic!

[@rr7firefly]

I think of at least 20 Pat Metheny / Lyle Mays songs as my "favorite." But definitely this is one in the top 5. It's beautifully complex and even wistful (the whistling section induces a welcome melancholy). But the totality of it is a bracing energizer, perfect for a mid afternoon pick-me-up.

[@federicopivetta7387]

So beautiful.

[@Super20011988]

Always the best music. Thanks Pat, Lyle.... Forever the best

[@KevinGonzalez-vz7rz]

Lyle Mays was a Musical Genius. This was smooth jazz at its very best. May Lyle Rest In Peace

[@dirkboessr]

he is the modern mozart, bach, and others in one person! I admire him!

[@aram5642]

No need to compare him to anyone

[@ColinMitchellMusic]

An absolute inspiration - Lyle is just incredible on this.

[@diegontijo]

conheci Pat Metheny através desta música, postada por um amigo no Facebook. há muito perdi a conta de quantas vezes já vi o vídeo, com a certeza de que, mesmo que eu viva 100 anos, nunca vou enjoar de ouvir Pat Metheny

[@antfromstl1966]

6:50 thru is my favorite part of this video. Love the song as a whole. On my MP3, I think I have more Pat M than any other artist.

[@olivercarlehed]

One of Lyle Mays best performances ... incredible ..

[@manuelcarneiro4866]

Seven Great Musicians And Masters!!!! They Always Have Helped Me A Lot!!!!

[@dirkboessr]

+Manuel Carneiro I agree!! Totally!!!

[@wowbobwow37]

YAY! Some Lyle comments. My favorite track from We Live Here.

[@Jazzrob891]

Meraviglia pura...Mays era un genio, così come Metheny

[@pc-edy9229]

Lyle was a show himself into the PMG show.-

[@MrGravito]

Une sonorité musicale reconnaissable entre mille!Come on,Lyle!

[@MrGravito]

Lyle, ne change rien,restes-toi-meme! Merci!

[@luciomasullo8451]

Grande Lyle Mays !!!!!!!

[@napoaramis]

la combinacion de todos estos musicos es fantastico, cada uno de ellos hace su mejor exhicion. la pieza de por si es espectacular y todos la tocan muy bien,excelente composicion e interpretacion

[@fjmism]

Quelle merveille de douceur !

[@Lot2learn]

Oh yeah, gotta love this one!

[@DearProfessorRF]

I saw the “Rachmaninoff” spirit taking over for a few seconds. Genius!

[@openlandmusic]

Yes, I believe it's the "We Live Here" live DVD.

[@user-gw5ii6ir6h]

もう二人のライブが見られない。 悲しい。 深町純といい、好きなキーボード奏者が若くして亡くなる。 悲しいな。 合掌。

[@MrRoger2306]

Muito bacana, Pat sensacional, Lyle Mays um gigante...

[@Gordenstein]

If it was like that, i don't think which Lyle Mays would stay in this group. It is just that Lyle Mays, him, is a true musician and don't think about the credit like you say. Pat Metheny and him are two wonderfull musicians.

[@musicoktracho]

lol is lyle mays on piano!! -he´s amazing!!! all this group is amazing, i love dave blamires and mark ledford(R.I.P) they have amazing voices!!!

[@gateauflottant]

Yes, there's also a "We Live Here" DVD, also called "Live in Japan," but I don't know if "Episode D'Azur" is among the tracks. The album, on the other hand, has many good songs besides this one, like "Here to Stay," or "To the End of the World." It's a hard to find album, but is worth having it. ;)

[@taniaroque4391]

Pat Metheny,sem palavras o cara é excepcional ,extraordinário ,excelente...

[@FiatObscuritas]

este concierto es lo máximo!!

[@MikeRoePhonicsMusic]

Yes. There's an interview from a few years ago with Pat being asked if he still talks to Lyle. Pat said they still talk. Though, when those two talk, it tends to be with musical instruments. I'm hoping for a new album in 2012!

[@stuartdryer1352]

I miss Lyle. I wonder if he knew how much we appreciated his genius?

[@fendweller]

Actually, sorry to be a pain but it's Episode D'Azur. Thanks for posting it.

[@phx4closureman]

Song proper starts at 4:27 😎😎😎😎😎 RIP Mark Ledford 9:24

[@diegontijo]

descanse em paz, Lyle!

[@luigi.zanini]

from 7:20 the best! and one of the best PMG track ever!

[@FiatObscuritas]

Muy Cierto!

[@dwighthine]

Great video Lyle to me is pure genius and is equal to Metheny.

[@DrGasne]

agreed

[@MrGravito]

@MonsieurSteven lyle est incontestablement le Miles Davies du piano(jazz fusion et tout autre style confondu)

[@singelding]

ach, als je Lyle Mays zo hoort spelen dan denk je meteen: het komt toch gewoon nog allemaal goed!!!

[@klaurent13]

thanks for having to announce my error

[@lukex1337]

@a2snokid I was JUST thinking the same thing!!!!!!!!

[@RyanSlatkoMusic]

7:15 :O

[@MrGravito]

C'est vrai: je ne taris pas d'éloges en ce qui concerne Lyle Mays.Mais comment faire autrement?!

[@ronwardlow]

what cd c will I find this song on???

[@BVarga57]

Thumbs up anybody?

[@strwy2hvn94]

is lyle still in his band

[@antfromstl1966]

I meant 7:15. Lol

[@klaurent13]

it is practically identical than english..symbiose..:-)

[@MrGravito]

@theonlyrealMugsy Symbiose

[@punxsutawneybarney]

Sounds to me like a take-off on Joni Mitchell's "Blue"-- a very inspired take-off.

[@reginaldbrown9676]

[@Elixear]

Ce qui subsiste à présent du PMG est hyper frappant pour la communauté Jazz mondiale, on le lit partout dans toutes les langues : Lyle Mays. Mais c'est précisément là qu'il faut rendre à César ce qui appartient à César et ne pas tomber dans le panneau. Le PMG est d'abord la rencontre de deux hommes que plus rien n'a séparé ensuite, et qui, à eux deux, ont écrit une page essentielle de l'histoire du jazz moderne. Virtuoses, habités, ces deux-là, à savoir Pat et Lyle, sont les mêmes, apportant chacun à (très haut) niveau égal une pierre à l'édifice monumental dressé par le groupe dans les deux décennies qui suivirent leur rencontre. Dans le Pat Metheny Group, sans Pat, pas de Lyle, et sans Lyle, pas de Pat (N'en déplaise à Gil Goldstein). Oui Lyle était un génie, que nous regrettons tous. Mais Pat l'est tout autant, et il est toujours là. Et leur musique, quand à elle, est éternelle. Longue vie à tou(te)s les autres et à tou(te)s les musicien(ne)s de la planète.

[@Gonzoweirdo1]

Pat Metheny looks like he needs to be treated with some medical help on his guitar! Lol.

[@ldelta4140]

Are you a musician?

[@johnbutler4319]

Music to clear the dance floor and kill a party, pure crap
