Pat Metheny Group in Japan performing “As It Is”.

[@laurenwoods7533]

This is sublime. Boy, do I miss Lyle Mays.

[@stevenreichertart]

My heart aches

[@danielboyer4799]

Oui , Lyle Mays est une grande perte pour la musique !!

[@yankcaptain3942]

How can you miss Lyle Mays? Unless he was your neighbor perhaps, but you have access to his talents for the rest of your life

[@stevenreichertart]

Best band of all time. Period.

[@stevendevadanam3500]

End of story.

[@marvinvandevorstenbosch9276]

Always when I listening to Pat Metheny he is touching something deep inside of me. It go’s further then just music. When he is playing you’re in a place between earth and heaven❤️🙏🏻

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Out of all of the drummers that Pat Metheny has played and worked with in his long career, some of those who are legendary but not since the days of Dave Weckl have i seen someone who has helped change the drumming game quite like Antonio Sanchez. Whereas Dan Gottlieb who is a fusion guy and Paul Wertico leans more towards the avant garde style of playing, Antonio Sanchez for me is the whole package, he brings a lot of energy and power into not only his playing but the music as well. When he joined PMG in the 00s, he definitely helped beef up their sound in a big way and gave them a very muscular feel. When it's all set and done, Antonio Sanchez could very well be the greatest drummer that Pat Metheny has ever played with on stage and for me, they are the best guitar drum combo since Allan Holdsworth & Chad Wackerman, the fact that Sanchez has played in virtually every Metheny led project and band is a true testament to his incredible chameleon like ability. He truly is the best in the world.

A melody that should exist. Phrasing that Mozart would be proud of, played by a wonderful ensemble of musicians.

[@GianpaoloGallianOfficial]

No words. RIP, Lyle!❤

[@reallife7235]

That last on the guitar is the best.

[@fabioky3985]

Lyle Mays ❤😢

[@mikes8149]

One of the greatest joys in my life was seeing these incredible artists play together, and with the phenomenal bands they assembled. From 1978 to the last PMG tour in 2005.

[@keeyust2457]

The greatest album of all time, undoubtedly

[@BongoBrains11]

Love this DVD…. Probably my favorite. Pat takes flight once/(twice) again…. Watching Lyle hits all the ‘feels’ after his passing… This is ‘the shit’. 🐸👍

[@ChristopherMartin-gw3cv]

The DVD from this tour is essential for PMG fans. All members of this version of PMG were simply terrific. Lyle Mays contributions transcended the history of the group.

[@ChristopherMartin-gw3cv]

@Gabriel Eleres "Speaking of Now Live"

[@ninovasev]

Absolutely transcends....

[@claudioeternod7064]

I had not seen this live version. As good as studio version...or still better. Thanks for info about dvd.

1:54 the sound is so smooth, even Pat looks back at Richard.

[@randytellez2451]

OUTSTANDING performance.

[@roberthill2199]

I think this is better than the studio version. Fantastic stuff.

[@AlfonsoAuerbach]

wooooooooooooooooow extremely magnifiscent

[@markinglot6186]

I like much kind of guitarplayers and their music but Pat’s sound and playing always lift me from earth.

[@pavanatanaya]

The world needs PMG!

[@toyetoyetoye]

Undoubtedly the most intense and exhilarating 7:50 of music I've ever listened. I revisit this one often!

[@mikywayway]

Mi santa madre. Pero que nivel de música es este grupo...y me vienen con el maldito regaeton...esta gente no saben lo que se pierden...tendran los oídos tapado de polvos.

[@adgo22]

I miss that I will never see the PMG live in concert again..those years of 1980-1995 were the best of my life..every year another treasure of an album put out and then the tour round the world..one was bound to hear them in some corner of the earth and I did..miss these guys..RIP Lyle..

[@rossanozanga9581]

Me I saw PMG one time 35 years ago in Milano, Italy. And now and forever.

[@FFrrEEddRRiiKK1]

Pat Metheny’s project at its best. Top shelf musicians and delivery.

[@countessclara]

Gracias por compartir este material. Se puede apreciar a Lyle Mays literalmente " tocando a dos manos". Hasta ahora no conizco a ningún pianista- tecladista que toqur así al mismo tiempo variod teclados como Lyle. Se lo extraña mucho.

[@AllanKoayTC]

so much power, yet so much control in Antonio's playing. i was blessed to have met him in Singapore after a Metheny gig, and he signed my ticket.

[@mrjazzkarabass]

Amazing!!! ❤❤❤

[@jazznouveau1710]

Simplemente magia....❤

[@momotakahashi7281]

That was my first time PMG concert ever. There were three shows, nine hours in two days.

[@blasestebanmartinezfragn-bi6tw]

Maravilloso tema

[@afterpodcast]

I have this on DVD. Bought it as soon as it came out! Before YT existed’

[@danielduda6111]

At this concert, Antonio played an impressive solo in four different tempos in four paws. It took a while to get going, but the effect is stunning.

[@blasestebanmartinezfragn-bi6tw]

cada vez que escucho este tema se me paran los pelos!!

[@tiffanydouglas2686]

That was absolutely brilliant! I loved it!

[@johncrispin2118]

Thanks Tony, lovely crisp recording , you must be very proud of all your work in the larger PMG , hope you continue with last years quartet sometime soon?

[@rossanozanga9581]

Sono diventato vecchio con Pat Metheny, beh sono contento. Quaranta anni insieme.

[@orlandopoolebear]

Unreal ❤

[@joelwiemken3046]

One of ny Favorites!

[@dmsphoto17]

Thanks for sharing Antonio. I've followed Pat since about 1979 when I was in high school. I appreciate all his work, but the Group work is definitely my favorite. From an outsider's perspective, it seemed you added a unique "spark" and creativity to the band. To Pat. Having seen a bunch of shows and then the first time seeing you and how the set started with you playing solo... driving and then Pat came in. It was different, charged and truly special. It would have been great to see another Group recording come along... Maybe some time in the future..... :) I was wondering when you started with Pat, did he request specific cymbals be used i.e. flat rides?

[@taniamazoni6378]

Genial,brilhante!

[@SharonGDill]

Frickin Fabulous ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JasFlower67]

I was lucky enough to meet personally Richard Bona on A38 boat in the Hungarian capital Budapest. Also I was lucky to attend one of Pat concert in my country. In 2024 Pat comes to Hungary again- cant wait to have the experience... Pat, see you in October -Budapest- Hungary waits for you and your band. I will be there!
