      I was gonna say, "50 years? You're crazy!" But, damn you are right. Wow, how time flies. I first discovered PMG in the early 80s when I lived in Miami. Every Sunday morning on radio station Love 94, it was jazz just like this. I would put in a fresh cassette tape (remember those) to record something to listen to all week until the following Sunday. Peace to you brother! Keep listening!

      @@jazzer770 There is a great little Australian jazz ensemble which is bringing the younger generations into the world of jazz through brilliant jazz covers - in a variety of jazz styles - of video games music (vgm). Although livestream audiences are small (we are often in daytime when elsewhere it is night), the global following is approaching 80,000 and the livestream audiences go wild in the chat when the boys solo.

    I heard this for the first time when I was having dinner at Jumbo's drive-in restaurant in mid-1978 after completing an experiment in the RF lab. It may have been on Jazz Album Countdown. Every time I hear it I see picnic tables and fluorescent lights, and I smell steamed rice and charbroiled ribeye. It would be nearly 20 years later that I would meet the woman I married. I wish she had been there with me.

      I remember in 1978. I got the album ECM records listening to it on my concept turntable with about $4000 worth of stereo equipment.Tile floor and wood paneling. The acoustics were totally amazing never to be duplicated again definitely one of my favorite song of all times. 😢

      Hi Larry,
      Somehow, my older brother was introduced to Pat Metheny in the mid 70's. To this day, when I hear this intricate, smooth, and exquisitely beautiful song, I think of my youth. Higgins Lake, Traverse City, and the rural back roads of Michigan! You're right, it's a great feeling!

    I was born in 59, and raised on rock and roll,and hung around mainly with my older brothers friends. One day in the late 70's, a friend of ours brought over the album I will never forget. Yes it was this one... San Lorenzo,Phase Dance,etc. I played this album over and over, I couldn't get enough of it. I owe my thanks to Pat and Lyle to this day! I love jazz because of them...I have all their music on remastered C.D.'s of course... They play with other talented musicians...Wow,I love them all...

    I am so blessed to have seen this performed live right after it came out at a small university coffee house with my girlfriend at the time. We were seated 2nd row center, about 8 feet from Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays in a venue that seated about 250 people. This song was their opener. An unforgetable experience! I can see it in my mind today at 67.

    This music connects strongly with so many people. I like that so many folks describe "the first time I heard it." They remember just where they were! It was over 40 years ago but I can remember clear as a bell walking down a common hallway in college and a guy was sitting at a table with the record playing and selling tickets to their concert that night. Wow...that unique, new, positive sound! I bought a ticket to the show and the rest was history. They made transporting, incredible music. Lyle was a major loss.

    Around 1980, I was 17, and had never been to any concerts. My brother was into Pat and had me come along with some other friends. I had no idea what to expect, nor did I expect anything. Pat opened with this song, and my brain exploded. I was mesmerized. Today, at almost 62, I think he is the best. Nobody does what he does.

      SAME HERE!!!! I loved this album, but lost track of Pat Metheny. I think this whole sound was closely linked to the light and easy 70's sound. It was where the California sound was going and then suddenly in the 80's music took a completely different turn.

    Bret Willmott and I were fortunate to know from friends that had been at Coral Gables Pat was coming to Berklee when I was 22. I was there at the time just starting school in an excellerated 1-2 (2 semesters at once, finished 4 semesters in one school year). No one knew who this kid with the big smile and incredible talent was. I asked to be the bass player in a guitar ensemble he was teaching. I am so incredibly lucky to say I played with Pat for that whole semester and do another class he taught. That ensemble was where he brought in a series of exercises that were to become tunes on many of his early albums. I am 67 and he still brings forth the same joy as he did back then. At the time I discerned a very midwest sound to his tunes. To this day I hear that influence, his roots. I love this man and his music. He shaped the player I am today. He was to jazz what the Beatles were to pop music. A new sound for a new generation of musicians that held in respect the roots of their music.

    I first heard this on my honeymoon in Hawaii in 1979. I was on Maui driving a rented Toyota with a broken radio antenna from Lahaina back to our resort. Trying to stay awake, I searched for something on the radio and landed on this song - the only thing the radio would pick up. A full moon and the ocean on my left, sugar cane fields and mountains on my right-it seemed like the stars were talking to me through the radio. My first exposure to jazz and to Pat Metheny and still a favorite today.

    In 1989 I drove with my crew from Moron AB near Seville, Spain to Torremolinos on the Costa Del Sol. It was a sunny Friday morning and I was listening to San Lorenzo on my Sony Walkman. As we neared the coast our route took us through the hills above town. The hillsides were dotted with white, stucco homes sporting terracotta roofs. As we reached the top of one of the hills I looked out and there in the distance was the big, blue Mediterranean Sea. The picture is etched forever in my memory and it's what I think of every time I hear this great work by Pat Metheny.

      It was during this era -- the 80's when I connected the most with him. As with many creative people, he has ideas all over the map (a great quality) -- Trio work, solo work, quartet work, Pat Metheny Group (my all-time favorite incarnation of his ideas), orchestrion, Unity Band, and the list goes on and on and on. This is probably my favorite of all his tunes, along with a few on Speaking of Now...

    As I recall, I started listening to the Pat Metheny Group in 1985. Around the time "The Falcon & The Snowman" came out. I have a very good friend that I attended DeVry Tech with in Phoenix in the 70's and he'd already been listening to him. He turned me on to "First Circle", "Travels" and "Offramp". I've been HOOKED since then. I've seen the group in concert 5 times and once I went to Oahu to work and listened to "The Way Up Pt.1-4" during a rainstorm. OMG.

      +first; - I was attending College in Santa Cruz, CA. Lightly raining, a few leaves blowing around, an introspective Autumn day at the coast.
      Had just opened the door to the ?record store at the outdoor Pacific Garden Mall and stepping inside, - the sound of the needle coming down at the beginning of a record,
      and THIS began...
      sorry, a few tears... and I walked right up to the cashier and asked what was this incredible music?!?
      He picked up the record cover and handing it to me said, "It's the newest album from Pat Metheny. It just came in".
      So I immediately bought the first 'Pat Metheny Group' album sold in Santa Cruz, 1978.
      A vivid memory.
      Still my absolute favorite piece of music, period.

    Weirdly I had a vision growing up and pictured myself on a dock about to set sail for adult life and the main message I recieved was that, "I can drive the boat," which was to say I am ready for adulthood. This song has taken over that feeling for me. I have set sail for San Lorenzo

  • @Gateway24F

    This song and album also has special memories for me. Back in early 1978, before this album was released Pat Metheny came to American University and essentially rehearsd this album live for it seemed like hours and charged us $1 to attend. I can still remember him standing on the stage with his eyes closed and these long flowing melodies pouring out of his guitar. Also his keyboard player who was brilliant, sitting at the piano with his long hair and extremely skinny face. My favorite moment was when he opened his eyes and said "I realize I haven't been telling you any of the song titles. it's because most of them don't have titles yet." Funny how so many other events in life get lost but that one remains seared in my memory.

      wow Peter. It's really nice to talk with someone that was involved with one of my favorite stations, and probably one of the biggest influences during my formative years. I think the metro area would be a much kinder place if stations like WJZZ were stilll around and the play rotation and format was less about advertising for corporate sponsors.

I loved the Beatles Yes Led Zeppelin pink Floyd ELP etc but none of them took me to places Metheny and Mays did with their sublime transcendent sound.
