The First Circle, Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays cover by Greenhouse Ensemble

[@clairedelune2011]

First circle is one of the best songs ever composed.

[@junglcat9829]

True true so true

[@jameslee5520]

Its so nice to see Pat Metheny’s music being played by the next generation . Metheny is a Mozart level musical genius and his music is just as timeless .

[@Tallbob29]

I can’t imagine anyone could come close to this Metheny/Mays piece in a cover, but you have done an amazing job. Awesome performances by all of you. Thank you.

[@videodavideo]

I've deep dived down the KZbin rabbit hole seeking out and aggregating covers of (what I think) is Pat & Lyle's GREATEST collaboration, "First Circle", and I must say, IMHO, this has to be the best cover I've ever heard. Stunningly beautiful, precise and as moving as the original. Thank you for this wonderful gift!

[@jfs70ss]

I agree with you my friend......

[@garyfinberg]

@@jfs70ss Fully agree, magnificent. This cover is also beautiful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKmvnqp5nKyEitk

Agreed it was very moving

Agree, full range of emotions.

[@deanronson6331]

Very nice work by our Canadian neighbors, who have a strong jazz tradition of their own. Special kudos to Christoph, the keyboardist.

[@onesixfive]

my favorite song of all time, watched and listened to many covers. unless i am distracted, this song will make me cry by the end 100% of the time, covers usually arent good enough, but i only made it until about the 4 min mark for this one before i started to get emotional. amazing piano solo, the vocalist is completely out of this world, what a brilliant ensemble, what a rendition of what must be a very difficult piece to play. thank you for sharing this with the world.

[@lovebaja]

It's a spiritual event. Listened to it (for lack of a better description of what happens) literally hundreds of times and am covered in goosebumps by the climax every single time. Same for To the End of the World.

[@evaldograsso3298]

Minha também. E a mim também!

[@bigbucks0692]

This one made me cry. Thank you so much for putting your love into this one. It’s special.

[@andrewmiller5467]

I think about Pat watching this and it just makes me smile.

[@markmunoz4101]

❤❤❤❤❤ WOWWWWW!!!!!!

[@pdbass]

This is the best cover I've heard yet. You guys really capture the spirit of the song and it sounds great. Bravo!

[@jfs70ss]

Absolutely SPECTACULAR......!!! I love it when I see young people enjoying REAL Music that touches the Heart and Soul. You are able to experience music on a whole OTHER LEVEL that people your age haven't a clue, at least not at their current age. Hopefully when they open their hearts and minds they will be fortunate to experience Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays..... Peace and God Bless from SF Ca USA

[@acer1600]

A deep bow to you all!

[@bigbucks0692]

The violin as the main carrier was a beautiful touch.

[@stevemartin4249]

Beautiful, inspiring, faithful rendition of what must be one of the 'greatest' jazz compositions of the last 50 years. Cheers from Japan!

[@stevemartin4249]

@@GreenhouseEnsemble Thank YOU!!! 🥰

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

Bravo! lyle Mays is smiling down on you guys....wonderful performance

[@damiangill3463]

Still listening, still superb

[@garyfinberg]

Absolutely beautiful cover of this tune. Stunning. The vocals are exquisite throughout and the male voice at the end was superb. Thanks for this. You made my day and I can't wipe the smile off my face :) I am sure Lyle is smiling down on you guys.

[@gilbertpepin3587]

Wow, quel excellent cover de First Circle. Bravo au Greenhouse Ensemble. Très fier de nos artistes québécois.

[@Murfy02]

I've never liked a cover of a Pat Metheny song, until now. Amazing!!

[@paul_desjardins]

Très bon cover, en plus c' est original d' avoir ajouter le violon. Chaque contribution des artistes sont excellentes et au même niveau de talent et d'humilité. Un son pur et sans éclats inutiles, le résultat est spectaculaire Bravo à l' ensemble.

[@danwpc]

Guys, this is giving me hope on the night of the fucking election. This is a gift which you must pass to your children...and your friends...and your enemies.

Please do justice to 'Praise'. 'Praise'needs to be tomorrow's hymn.

Bravissimi. Fantastic version. You deserve more views and Pat should be proud of this exhibition

[@countessclara]

A beautiful rendition of one of the state of the art of Pat Metheney and Lyle Mays composition. Thanks for the music!!.

[@brendanmorrison5546]

Fantastic cover of this wonderful piece by arguably the greatest band of all time.

[@roros2512]

wow really amazing congrats to everyone for the incredible and beautiful work full of energy!

[@billharker5424]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs ... period. I am extremely picky about the covers of this song. IMHO This was by far one of THE best covers of this song ever! All of the members had their parts on point from the beginning to the end. I even had goosebumps from the time the male singer began to the very end. This just blew me away. Thanks, Greenhouse Ensemble for treating this piece with respect! Awesome stuff!

[@lovebaja]

Every word of this.

[@pierfrancescobernieri-pitt1964]

Eccellente! Magnifico. Have discovered the heart of the piece of Pat Metheny. Bravo

[@OffTheDunes]

I'm surprised this hasn't blown up so much more. Excellent!!!

[@mircotordin4718]

BRAVI....BRAVI....BRAVI!!!!!!

[@hermancharlesserrano1489]

[@AlexMoraesExperiments]

You're definitely the most brilliant performance of the best music of all musics! By the way, Roxane, you're amazing, incredible tone! All of you rock!

I've never heard a cover of this piece of music. You all nailed it!! Great job!!!

[@Ron2Tani]

We just saw Pat Metheny for the third time in the last 7 years. I hardly ever meet people that even heard of him, let alone know his music. I get so excited when I see people listening to his music and covering it, like these people are doing extremely well!!

[@farko63]

Great ! And very good voice !

[@motiz88]

Stunning. This performance is so true to the original while also standing on its own merits, not just as a tribute but simply as music. It makes me so happy.

Unbelievable! I can't believe the performance I have just heard! I'll never forget this band and this music for the rest of my life. Thank you guys for your performance!

[@raypows]

You all brought such a smile to my face. This is one of my favorite Metheny/Mays compositions. Roxane your vocals were a perfect timbre for this and Christophe, the piano solo incredible. Lyle would have been proud. Great video production and playing by all of you. Really happy I stumbled upon this tonight.

That was freaking heavenly! Thank you for all your hard work. That song left a very deep impression on me when I saw the PMG on the First Circle tour in the eighties when I was a high school aspiring musician. So beautiful!!!

I am back, just listened to this on the vinyl PMG record from 1984 and then the 1993 PMG KZbin version and now your version. Just Brilliant, as always, thank you, please do more .

[@peterresetz1960]

Wow these musicians more then captured the essence of the song. Well done. I can remember back in the 80s playing this PMG album when some of friends who were Yes and ELP heads came for visit as I was improving on my bass, and they were totally taken aback by this song.

[@StGeoRUSH619]

Wow... that was sooooo sick ! ! ! Pat would be unbelievably proud of this beautiful piece of art ! ! ! Absolutely LOVED this ! ! !
