Why do people always have to choose someone to be the absolute greatest? If a person can not accept the known God, he creates and chooses his own substitute god ... according to his taste, according to his ideas. Pat is a very good musician and, above all, he had the luck of a great career ... also because of his willpower and extroversion. Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Hermeto Pascoal ... are highest level.
Amen, Deborah. He remains an extraordinary artist and en exceptional talent with gifts beyond measure. Makes me wish I had studied piano more studiously as a teenager. So gifted and at the same time so dedicated to being as good as he could be. His spirit will live on in his contribution to music.
I know!!!!!!!! 💔🎹 I listen to “Long Life!” by Lyle at least 4-5 out of 7 days a week!!!!! I drift somewhere else listening! gives me THE BEST SLEEP/REST EVER!!!! Lyle Mays is SORELY MISSED!!!!!!! 💔💔💔 he @ Pat made each other! but THIS CUT IS PRICELESS! Song for Balboa ALL DAY LONG!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

2023, and I miss Lyle more than any musician or entertainer who has come and gone in my lifetime. Yes, I miss Freddie, MJ, Bowie, Prince, and Whitney, but no one else's music plays in the background in my head on the daily. No one else's music made me reach deep and do deep reading of old interviews and personal background, find their influences and give that music a listen. Lyle must truly have been from another dimension.
As a musician, i couldn't reallly appreciate his solos fully listening to this growing up (except on a superficial level), but now in my mid 30's i can hear and recognize all the different subdivisions, and you're right, it's amazingly accurate. The coolest thing of all is he's holding the straight 4 count on cowbell the whole time, and everything is in perfect sync.
Tell me about it! I fancy myself as being a drummer, but when I witness the krayzee level of mastery that Mr. Sanchez exhibits...Smh! 😮 Dare I say, listening to Antonio out there in the stratosphere somewhere makes me think that I could be on Wertico's level! 😂
But also, musicians who would still do it with as much joy and passion even if it wasn't a profession. Personally, I feel like Metheny is taking dictation from the spirit realm or something.
5 exceptionally brilliant solos, each a completely unique approach. Lyle’s full of harmonic twists, Cuong Vu creamy boppiness, Bona joyous personal expression, Sanchez superhuman pulse and rhythmic strength, and then my favourite Pat solo on TH-cam - pure melodic impulse, ripping through the tune. When he pushes the gr300 up an octave I get chills.
Who are the 149 people who gave this a thumbs down?? They obviously didn’t know what they were getting themselves into listening to this. This is pure magic.
Those 149 who gave it thumbs down are probably Justin Bieber fans or hip hop crap fans this is real music pat metheney is a great musician have liked his music since the mid 70,s producing bright life lp he’s very underated
Lyle, you were such a brilliant, deep, inspired and ispiring artist and such a sweet and down-to-earth human being, we miss you so sadly and so dearly...💖
I heard Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays since I was 6. I remember my mum when she told me that pat's music is ever green. It's true, I'm 19 now and I listen pat metheny every day for 13 years.
Noemi Zafanella....And here I am at the ripe kick ass age of 68 years old! And Still listening to the masters of beautiful music! Keep listening my friend...for the journey of this music gets much much better!! And Good for you that your mum had the foresight to enlighten you to Pat Metheny's music!
Antonia Sanchez is my favorite drummer. I love him paired up with Metheny. Sanchez has a degree in classical piano, among other degrees, and is on the faculty at New York University. His 3rd solo album (New Life) is due out in 2013. Viva Sanchez and Viva Mexico!
I don’t think “guitarist” first when I think of Pat Metheny. He is a musician first and a wizard at that, as he transcends his instrument completely. His improvisational ideas do not depend on the conveniences or the idiosyncrasies of the guitar. His improvisation is freedom. Whatever comes to mind he can play as if all he is using as an instrument are his brain, ears, heart and spirit. His sharing this with us is an uplifting gift.
I would say that Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays were jazz innovators the likes of which may never be seen again. This song is a perfect example. This is a song of bursting joy framed in complex jazz idioms with a straight ahead tempo. Who else is playing or ever played jazz like this?
I got to see the original travels/Bilbao tour. 18th bd more or less. It was all pure fire and water and air. Agreed. They were a once in a lifetime team. The Lennon and McCartney of jazz.
I was 17 years old when a friend handed me " the White Album "... A huge fan ever since.. TH-cam is such an amazing resource for music. I have expanded my Metheny/Mays knowledge 20-fold !
They say only quality lasts. If so, this music will last forever. In 1979 I bought the "White Album". Been blown away ever since. When Lyle passed in February, felt like a little part of me died. I consider Pat and Lyle one of the greatest composing teams in American history.
Wow, this just took my breath away, all these years later, been a fan all my life until the day I die, words unspoken, salute to all, pass and present. So much love indeed, Pat's always been my favorite then you add Lyle, Bona and the cast, it's like a wonderful wonderland that I've enjoyed, Peace to all 🎸🎹🥁🎺☝🏾
One of greatest jazz groups of ALL TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO LEXINGTON, KY on your tour a few months ago. I was absolutely blown away by your talent/ genius. 🌹
I first heard Pat with Gary Burton in the mid 70's. I've seen him countless times in all types of settings. He is consistently brilliant. My favorite is with PMG. There was something special about that band. Lyle was a BIG part of that. RIP Lyle.
Sadly,i think this was the last hurrah (Live DVDwise)of PMG. Musicians within the ranks have come and gone,but there has NEVER been a Group album without Lyle Mays. Once he took ill,there was no more output,and now that he's transitioned......there was never to my knowledge any statement saying the Group is over,but to me,without Lyle i dont think Pat woukd do it. But man what a legacy!! And Bona's bass solo is just amazing
Pat Metheny Group.... what can I say!!!! I've been a fan for years, and thank God had a chance to see him playing with the quartet in my Puerto Rico while he was on tour!!! His music has definitely changed my life. If I feel sad or lonely, just tune to his great compositions(and of Lyle as well), and things change right away!!!
Wow, blown away! Long time Matheny and Mays fan, but something magic happened this time lol I got it... it "grabbed" me, and I realized just how amazingly good this performance is! Each artist is tapped in and play as if they're in each other's heads... seamlessly. Music this good is on a whole different level- it really is art. The synthesizer effect on guitar- classic Pat Matheny! The chorus doubled by the trumpet, and voice layer of Bona.. back to Wow! The keyboard solo going from piano to synth magically in the middle of chords. How about the band cues on the drum solo- another level! Tight, but loose... loosely tight. The George Benson-like scatting on bass! Great use of volume dynamics. Is that the artists, soundman, or both? A big shout out to the camera man also, who obviously knows the music. That makes or breaks a video. Excellent job! Jazz fusion is not enough to describe music this intelligent, and entertainingly good!? Thank you for posting. Thank you Pat Matheny Group for all the wonderful, artistic music over the years. Like many- I'm sure, this is the music I hum throughout the day... the soundtrack of our lives 🎶🙏
You're so correct, on everything, makes you wonder if Benson actually saw this and his reaction at the time, you took all the words out my mouth. Blessings to the family
Still so sad. Watching Lyle playing here I just can't help feel something was taken from me. His virtuosity, how he fit in perfectly with PMG. I know in last 5 yrs. he was tired of touring and disillusioned with the music biz and pivoted to programming & management. I was hoping someone could've coaxed him to perform again. RIP..
Lyle Mays is the most avant garde, Bill Evanish, McCoy Tynerish swining pianist on the scene. He and Metheny are simpatico and his sound is absolutely refreshing, and he romances the sheer hell out of Metheny's trumpet sounding guitar riffs. Study Metheny, he played horn before the guitar and his whole sound is like a slow, long, blow when he's hooked up to the synclavier...simply divine. Yessss I am a fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is from Offramp, 1982. It was a 20 year old classic when this tour happened. Cuong Vu was 13 when it came out. It sounds good here, and still sounds good today. Truly timeless music.
Imagine yourself standing on the edge of a vast untouched meadow, the sun beaming down, mild breeze, breathtaking green and blue hues. and you just ride off on a horse with no agenda except to take in every moment of an unanticipated paradise granted you by a curiosity to see what was off the beaten path. It's like "DAME" this is a rare gift that I've given myself. Every glance and every view of the countryside is a celebration of discovering simply what's under a sun that sheds a thousand hues of light on the basics. I mean bass player goes OFF the control chart if there ever was such a thing. Drive everyone into amazement. The drummer kicks ass. Flam paradiddles are not easy strokes on one tube muchless three or four. As JZ says in response to one of his own drummer's solos "that shit ain't easy". The whole of paradise of the country landscape that Bilboa creates is untouchable. And then Pat goes wild as Richard sings through an interpretation that no one will every forget. One helluva excursion off the beaten path in the meadow untouched
JUST WOW and the BASS and DRUM SOLO's are so amazing, as is the whole group. Love Lyle in this as well, RIP, may you feel the love we all have for you...
AS,,is a beast on the drums ,, and bass player. is wonderfully sound ,, PM,, tokyo will never be the same ,,,RIP LM,,,,I KNOW YOUR LOOKING DOWN ON YOUR BUDDY. PM,,,,
RIP Lyle... Soy de Bilbao y es un orgullo que un maestro como Pat Metheny dedicara una pieza tan soberbia a mi ciudad. Esta versión es tremenda.... Thanks Pat and Lyle, Bilbao love you too...
Casi no actúan porque se habían vendido pocas entradas. Salieron tarde pero al final Pat dijo estar encantado con aquella inolvidable actuación. Yo estuve en La Casilla aquel día. Éramos 4 gatos!
That's IT! Nothing more, nothing less...sheer perfection, Metheny perfection. He takes me to a place, in my mind's eye I am traveling thru strange towns, over the sea, in peaceful space, nothing matters with Metheny. I am in bliss with Metheny.
One of the greatest piano players out there, incredible human being, Lyle Mays is by far one my favorite acoustic piano players. Kudos to Pat as always - none other than the greatest guitar player that ever lived so I won't say anything about Pat even though I just did. We need PMG back at least before this whole thing comes to a close! Oh, check out Richard on the bass, (Richard Bona) simply mesmerizing! Oh, and BTW, the drummer (Antonio Sanchez) is Latino and from Mexico, nice mix!
Pat Metheny is a great genius!! As a self taught bassist, the first time i saw a video of him playing "have you heard" i was really astonished and i truly think that he is one the greats musicians whose music gave me the courage and boost to keep pushing. ✊
the 1 Dislike probably does not even like HIMSELF! I seen Pat Metheny 3 times and those were the Best 3 Concerts that I have ever been too! Not 2 mention that he's from my home state of Missouri !!
you were right to do so ... you have tapped into the REAL music and real musicianship stay with it no matter what your loser friends say about it. I've been dealing with the mediocrity for decades. Stay with your heart!
WHAT A BUFFET FOR 0.00€!! How many people can even begin to appreciate this????
PAT ......Surely the greatest musician ever!!?? Anyone agree? Still bringing joy to my heart! Love him!
Truth in my world...with Lyle too.....what a duo....
Why do people always have to choose someone to be the absolute greatest?
If a person can not accept the known God, he creates and chooses his own substitute god ... according to his taste, according to his ideas.
Pat is a very good musician and, above all, he had the luck of a great career ... also because of his willpower and extroversion.
Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Hermeto Pascoal ... are highest level.
Pat is The G.O.A.T. but you have to give his band credit. Theys guys are all awesome.
@@1234swingit completely agree. Sadly the “greatest of all time” seems to have become a common talking point in all fields.
I agree 👍
RIP Lyle Mays. Heartbroken. PMG forever.
I am still weeping over the death of this wonderful musician....RIP dear Lyle !
Amen, Deborah. He remains an extraordinary artist and en exceptional talent with gifts beyond measure. Makes me wish I had studied piano more studiously as a teenager. So gifted and at the same time so dedicated to being as good as he could be. His spirit will live on in his contribution to music.
Just resting for a time.

A stage full of geniuses.
Steven Reichert That sums it up perfectly
REAL professional musicians!!

Was it from offramp but never included on the studio album? I don't see it as a track on there
I stand corrected. It was not from Offramp, rather it appeared on Teavels, which was the Offramp tour. Same era, though.
No, it's from Travels
Lyle’s acoustic piano solo mixed in and out with the synth stabs, bananas 🍌!
Such an awesome rendition of this song. Everyone did terrific, and I'm appreciative of what Pat Metheny has bought to the world.
Robert Harris well said
Possibly the greatest tune of Metheney's illustrious career. Stellar lineup here, no doubt about that..
I wouldn't say that, but it is awesome. 😊

Mindblown still 17 years later. Meth is a hellova drug.
Holy shit, the guy on the bass is amazing.
That's IT! Nothing more, nothing less...sheer perfection, Metheny perfection. He takes me to a place, in my mind's eye I am traveling thru strange towns, over the sea, in peaceful space, nothing matters with Metheny. I am in bliss with Metheny.
One of the greatest piano players out there, incredible human being, Lyle Mays is by far one my favorite acoustic piano players. Kudos to Pat as always - none other than the greatest guitar player that ever lived so I won't say anything about Pat even though I just did. We need PMG back at least before this whole thing comes to a close! Oh, check out Richard on the bass, (Richard Bona) simply mesmerizing! Oh, and BTW, the drummer (Antonio Sanchez) is Latino and from Mexico, nice mix!
Man. I miss that Lyle and Pat magic.
Pat Metheny is a great genius!! As a self taught bassist, the first time i saw a video of him playing "have you heard" i was really astonished and i truly think that he is one the greats musicians whose music gave me the courage and boost to keep pushing. ✊
Same here...self taught. This and jazz in general is great to play along with.
pat metheny my favorite guitarist his genius reminds me that there is a wonderful and amazing Creator
Richard Bona = the George Benson of the bass guitar. 😎
Cuong Vu is effortless in his command and expression
this is the greatest music in the planet
Incredible tight ban whit soc-ht good song merci from Montréal, Québec Canada..
He opens up the gates of heaven and let’s all the beauty pour out onto us! Wondrous!
I was so lucky for having seen the performance of this song LIVE two weeks ago. Special kudos to Pat and Antonio! Cheers from the Netherlands!
one of the Best Pat Metheny act of all times
the 1 Dislike probably does not even like HIMSELF! I seen Pat Metheny 3 times and those were the Best 3 Concerts that I have ever been too! Not 2 mention that he's from my home state of Missouri !!
this is one of the most complex and at same time runny song of Pat. I just adore it!
7:48 on ....sheer brilliance
Jazz has evolved pat metheny has taken it to another level gooooood music
Pat becomes one with his guitar ...you gotta luv it! :)
Love Pat and his group. He was ahead of me a few years at The U Miami School of Music, he and Lyle Mays and Mark Egan.
RIP Lyle Mays.
6 month ago I felt in love with "the last train home 'and still I follow this group.....
you were right to do so ... you have tapped into the REAL music and real musicianship stay with it no matter what your loser friends say about it. I've been dealing with the mediocrity for decades. Stay with your heart!
