This was the great Geffen period when Pat and Lyle had complete artistic control to produce and release content with NO corporate interference from A&R or finance personnel. Geffen basically gave them the keys to the studio and all the time needed for composing, recording, and release.
So they didn't have that freedom later?? That was a shock!
The PMG were Geffen’s only “jazz” artists at the time, so the company could focus their entire support/promotion on them (ECM and Warner Bros. had numerous other jazz/instrumental artists to promote)
Of course they did. No one said they didn’t
@@peternewman1179 your comment make it seemed like they didn't have that freedom later.
@@volfgankamei5348 read it again. it's not ambiguous but quite clear.
That was the best musical show ever; David Sanborn had the most amazing musical guests from every genre. But nothing this good can last. people were too dumb to appreciate it.
Yeah I remember. Still too dumb.
The Sunday Night after the late news time slot wasn't exactly the greatest.
Far dumber now
Pedro Aznar....here in the States we will never now all his facets, Bass player, Seru Giran, film scores and more, what a talent....the best
Are you telling me that the one doing scatting is Pedro Aznar???? I cried when I realized!!!!!
Yes, the man is amazing check his base playing, it is so melodic,
...song Eita leda or Auto, jets, aviones, barcos.
The greatest era for the Pat and Lyle, simply mesmerizing compositions and musicianship.
I told my sister when I die I want anything Pat Metheny played at my wake... ANYTHING!
The years with Pedro were the best...
Agreed - Still Life (Talking), Secret Story, Letter From Home and We Live Here are probably my favorite albums of theirs.
@@Autos389 First Circle..
@kim burley odd comment... you like pat but not jazz?
you like jazz and not pat?
like many musical orphans pat gets categorized as jazz -
but what genre would you call his music?
kim burley yeah the music is probably best described as some specification of fusion. But the way Pat plays is absolutely akin to jazz guitar. He is a jazz guitarist
@@toodsf1 I'm new to Pat's work, and it's obvious people will/would call it jazz.
But, man, this is transcendental to me. A kind of music i've never heard before.
I kinda of agree that this is not like any other jazz.
Who’s listening in 2020? Here from Seoul, Korea. Yay.
There’s a pretty good PMG tribute band from Japan. I think they’ve gigged Seoul.
2024, Brazil 😊😊
2024 SoCal
Everyone always seems to forget Steve Rodby on bass
Bassists more often than not generally get overlooked by listeners (especially in rock), when in fact a great bassist will always enhance the guitar so much.
Guitarists get auditions. Bassists get gigs.
That bassline definitely goes in hard.
You can see, and hear, the Pure joy of his playing, in his facial expressions.
Pedro voice is amazing
Kimberly Shaw 200% so correct....
Kimberly Shaw It really is. Such a cool quality to it.
I never saw Pedro miss one single note. Not even one.
I believe this young Argentinian cat is vocalizing through some modal scales.....is he not?
His voice has definitely been a main aspect of Pat’s music! Amazing
Back in the day this music saved me from insanity and all the crappy gigs I was doing to survive. All those late nights out there in the dark, just me and this band on the road.
Re: crappy gigs
An interview Pat has said that if a musician is decidedly the best player in a band, they should try to join a better band.
Lyle is still here. He lives on through his music and his playing.
❤❤❤❤❤
They need to bring this kind of show back !
Never gonna happen. It’s all about giving the people what they already know they want now rather than showing people what they might actually like.
Lyle is the man
Totally agree. RIP LYLE
Paul Vertigo's touch on those rides is just ethereal.
I"ll never forget the first time I listened to this sound and the perfirmance of this amazing PMG lineup.
Pat, Lyle, Armando, Steve, Paul, Pedro... you all changed my vision of the world... and I'll forever appreciate it.
Thanks for the magic, guys. Godspeed, Lyle. RIP
Letter from Home, and Still Life Talking are two of my absolute favorites. Simply amazing recordings!
Pat, Lyle, Paul, Pedro, Armando - the best ever!
Steve ?
I cry EVERY time I hear this...
It's like hugging a deeply loved one you haven't seen for a while...& realize how much they mean to you.
Oh...& thank you for uploading this, rednoise0... :-)
I have seen Pat Metheny several times in concert and he is amazing. When Pat is playing that guy is in the zone. A bomb could go off right next to him and he would not even skip a note.
I think this was my favorite PMG lineup. Love the South American influence with Pedro and Armando.
Lyle Mays rest in Peace🙏🎼
PEDRO AZNAR! Fantastic and total artist! And that voice, THAT VOICE!
virginia janneth roldán monsalve yep, that voice!
I am a huge fan of Pedro
Grande Pedro!
El gran aporte de Pedro Aznar a la identidad del grupo. Me pregunto cómo y cuándo se encontraron Pedro y Pat
hola@@hmlarrain . Creo que en un festival de Rock en Rio de Janeiro. Pedro lo alcanzó en camarines para darle un cassette con cosas suyas. Al poco tiempo Pat lo llamó para unirse a la banda
More than 25 years since I was first introduced to this song and I still enjoyed it.
thank you Lyle Mays, for all the years of awesome playing you did
One of my favorite songs from my favorite era. Pat is deep in the zone for the his solo, he’s almost possessed. The outro almost made me scream and I’ve listened to this song probably 1000 times. The transition from the guitar solo to Lyle smashing out those chords is so slick I’m not sure that I even can find the cue. I played in a punk band for over 10 years and we used to make fun of other punk bands that would just stand there when they performed and we always tried to have energy on stage. And here this is a jazz group - and look at pat! What an amazing performance!
Incredible Comradery & Musicianship here
@@doctorgarbonzo2525 I can’t believe this has 44 likes. Might be a record - had no idea. PMG fans are clearly a brotherhood. Thank you all!
Listen to the symbals
I was hoping for a reunion with the Group with Lyle and Pedro.
Now everything's changed.
The only constant is change,let's see what happens and hope for the Best, something Good is just up ahead
@@bc1885bc I like your attitude.
I find everything Pat plays is not just amazing , but it’s so damn musical . Fabulous!
Pat metheny to me is the greatest guitarist.. you can hear and feel it. He's just like so different.. i think hes from another world lol .. i cant believe what im hearing he reached the highest level of music
I think the only other guitar player to get there is McLaughlin.
Yer right, it's not fair to compare his playing to Wes or Tal Farlow. It's as though he's taken the guitar to new levels and musical horizons...
Pat Metheny Group is glorius. They are the best
Joe pass
This performance by The Pat Metheny Group is absolutely electrifying. It's almost impossible for me to put into words. Magnificent, transcendent and phenomenal.
Always brings joy to my eyes... In the form of tears.
They were all at the top of their game at this time,
Always amazed how Paul Wertico played those 5Bs with such lightness and volume control.
Pedro's vocie is beautiful its like from another world.. and pat reached the highest level of playing. The worlds greatest
My first Matheny concert was Cullen aditourm 1981 U of H campus Houston Tx RIP Lyle and thank you Pat for the many years of your instrumentals that’s everybody like to call songs 😂
Amazing... Pedro is a great musician, and Pat band is incredible.
This is a hot song
Listen to the vocals; amazing!!!
Pedro Aznar
One thing I was just admiring is how percussionist Armando Marcal is visible in almost every shot, and shows his beautiful contribution to the groove along with drummer Paul Wertico. This whole thing is so beautifully shot - every angle shows at least three musicians, and you can tell that they are all totally locked into each other. And the camera catches many specific important musical moments and interactions. And the sound is great. Everything I've ever seen from "Night Music" has first class from a technical and artistic perspective. None of that "showing the singers ear during the guitar solo" kind of concert movie lameness.
the only problem is they don't show the horn section. Those 2 could play a cornet and sing like no other
The great Steve Rodby ,one of the world's best supportive bass player!!!👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🙏🙏🙏⛪⛪⛪
Clearly…the finest musicians on the planet. RIP Lyle Mays
Pat Metheny Group - Incredible group of musicians.
Brian McBride I literally cannot stop smiling 😁, fresh indeed 😉
Unmatched, unparalleled, unbelievable……The Pat Metheny group….
RIP The magnificent LM.
❤
Probably the peak of the Pat's PMG era. All of the PMG eras are great but this lineup (and this album 'Letter From Home') probably marks the zenith in which everything just came together.
so so true
Pedro Aznar...one of the most talented musicians ever...period
Pat and Lyle, the biggest hair in fusion.
Talented too :)
Pedro Aznar... what a great musician and composer
Grande Pedro!
The great Pedro Aznar on Vocals!!!
Much as I admire Pat Metheny, it's the individual and collective contributions of the other musicians that really make this an incredible musical experience.
@mayoman100 - I agree! There are other performances of this song, plus the released studio version, and they are all excellent. But THIS performance seems especially sublime - the whole band seems as musically connected to each other and to the music as I've ever heard.
Best song from the best Metheny group ever!!!!
Pat likes jazz that sound like bells and horns from heaven just cool man.
Excelente grupo musical o escucho varias veces.
some of the best ever created!
Pedro Aznar. Wow. The whole damn thing is great.
Pat Metheny is perfection❤️
Absulotly bro...
How do I inject this into my veins? This is another level.
Everyone was at the top of their game at this point. Paul f-ing Vertico is amazing. I saw this tour and I’m still effected by it.
From Screaming Jay Hawkins to the Pat Metheny Group and all points in between. Superb performances and show. David Sanborn had the clout to bring any artist to the show and he allowed them to do their own thing within the structure of the show. His personality and his own artistry allowed him to fully appreciate other artists. A cool, smooth, humble and nicely put together chap.
J'écoute pat metheny et son groupe depuis mes 20 ans et je ne m'en lasse pas, comme le disent beaucoup dans les commentaires, ils sont géniaux tous les musiciens 👍. Je me suis mariée sur un morceau de pat)(c'était il y a 30 ans et le jour de mes obsèques il sera là aussi avec son éternelle guitare, c'est mon ange 😇
Très jolie commentaire !
Pat’s music has wings.
Lyle!!!❤❤❤❤
I’ll miss you forever buddy!! 💔
It's the first time I have listened to a group who plays live as wonderfully as it were in the studio! I'm spellbound!
Pat's music is as beautiful as you..
+Ted Hernandez Thank you!
The live versions are usually awesome especially
up close and in person
To me the greats deliver better live than studio because the energy is so high and it propels them to greater heights
For anyone who hasn't heard it, listen to the Pat Metheny Group's "Travels," a very dynamic live collection. Another favorite album of mine is PMG's "Imaginary Day." Just close your eyes and let it take you away.
It still baffles me why Pat metheny didn't make a live song of "Minuano", on a cd. Such a beautiful song should be recordable. 🙂🙂🙂
There will never ever be a band as great as this jazz band ever!
Although obviously the PMG incorporated jazz strongly into their repertoire, I’m not certain I would consider them as such. Structurally, this particular number is blues.
@@kramalerav whatever style you think they are, they are the best!
Qué hermoso ❤
Pat Metheny Group was the best in contemporary jazz no doubt.
While obviously the PMG strongly incorporated jazz into their repertoire, I hesitate to classify them as such. Structurally, this particular number is Blues.
I think they could be a jazz fussion band since they played many different styles with a jazzistic basis. However it's difficult to clasify them.
this is one of the live guitar preformences of all time
this track is the soundtrack of my live
For me this is golden era Metheny-Mays/Group music. It's the period of Pat's career (Lyle's, too) that I enjoyed the most and I wish it had lasted longer. But as time went on, it evolved into something different, and it never captured my attention in the same way. The Way Up and Speaking Of Now were the albums that marked the fading of the legendary Pat Metheny Group, at least for me. While I practically wore out every Group album before those two, those two didn't get a lot of replays.
The Way Up is really cool too though. It’s a totally different vibe altogether. I definitely agree it doesn’t have the same kind of synth magic like Last Train Home or the tunes on Letter from Home.
These guys are insanely well-rehearsed.
Playing this style of music, you have to be.
Wow!!! Even though the bodies and face are aging now, thank heaven for this digital era and the opportunity to hear and see, over and over again, genius at its peak, having more fun than kids in a sandbox. I like this version even better than the studio album. But these guys could play 'chopsticks' and I'd love it.
+Steve Martin - I think you nailed it, The music itself is impeccable, as we would expect from musicians of this caliber, but the thing that really makes this clip special is the palpable sense of joy. You can tell these guys are having a blast!
+rednoise0 Yeah ... can't help but to jump up and down and yell out a whoop when Pat ends with that ear-to-ear, country-boy, Missouri grin! Which kind shocked me when he went all medieval on Kenny G. Not that I disagree with Pat, I just never expected to read or hear anything that angry coming from him. I guess we are all human, but Pat (and a handful of others) are still at the top of the pantheon for me.
It's extremely clear they were either just finished with doing this for the album or were about to - it sounds almost exactly like the CD version. I loved seeing these guys play live, too - back in Dallas when the Still Life (Talking) CD came out. I think it was actually on my birthday too!
I have watched this performance about 15 times tonight I am mesmarized I keep my eyes on those fingers eating that guitar up making that instrument do much more than it ever would have .
The three letter acronym, PMG, will last a long time in the history books.
Oh ya...Paul and his flat shimmery Paistes....carved a place in music history....great band....great memories..thanks for posting!
Damn how I miss the 20th Century! Incredible Musicianship here! The Bands best period for sure! RIP Lyle Mays
BEST SONG EVER
Paul Wertico, what a drummer...
Isn't he great?! Love the way he uses his cymbals - he's almost playing melodies on them. Plus he grooves like crazy, and with such a light and deft touch.
Interesting placement of the drummer right out front. Never to underestimate drummers, of course. Paul Wertico lays down a beautiful groove throughout.
Yes is special for me long time coming 🙏
And Pedro Aznar quite young! Love you Pedro!
The first time I saw Pat Metheney was in 1987 (First Circle tour). I had never heard him prior to that show. I was blown away of course, but the real standout that night was Lyle Mays.
I’ve listened to this at least two times a week on my porch for the last 30 years. The most perfect the universe could be.
That’s the good life sitting on the porch with this. You win!😎✌️
This is THE best version of this song - I can't believe I hadn't already seen this. Why haven't more people seen this on TH-cam??
This version is phenomenal
Bro not only did I see this on
Dave Sanborn's late Night ( that's shown now....obviously). I saw PMG 2 weeks later in concert.. and it was one of the most Amazing musicianship that I'd ever seen in my life.
Estamos en presencia de un fenómeno musical pocas veces escuchado....Pat Metheny group
the density and complexity make music like this almost incomprehensible to most...
Because they only listen to junk music, commercial music ... if it wasn't for youtube, they wouldn't be anything .....
Porque sólo escuchan música basura, música comercial....sino fuera por youtube, no serían nada.....
El genial Pedro Aznar excelente musico argentino !
I envy those who are hearing this tune for the first time
I keep coming back to this. I think it might be the best performance of Have You Heard out there. The solo is way better than the one on the album. It's certainly my favorite version of the song. I wonder how many people notice the shifts between 7/8 and 4/4 time?
While Pat's solo is great here, he doesn't have the benefit of piecing together the best cuts of it like in the studio. He gets a bit lost in it briefly here. He also doesn't build the crescendo like he does on the studio version. No knock on him, because I certainly couldn't do either, I just prefer the studio solo.
@@billvill61 Kind of agree; of course it's a fine solo but the one on the live album is killer
The studio solo is like the perfect take.
Amazing performance!! I like this great guitar player
Yeah, he's pretty good. If he keeps it up he may be able to find a career in show business.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? 🤦♂️ smh...what an amazing performance and song!!
And how could 101 (as of today) people give it a thumbs-down?? It's so musical and artfully played that even if it wasn't your cuppa tea, I can't imagine why anyone would actively dislike it.
This is what I call "soul music" cause that's how it touches me.
This still for me is his best music ever of this great musician and also the best band of Metheny, no doubts.
Amazing Musicians
Still takes my breathe away!
Loved Night Music! Great show that sadly did not last very long.
パットメセニーを知った、初めての
曲。
いつ聴いても最高❗️
Lyle Now you play the best music ever and the angels stop flying to listen to you
Pat is an Alien-guitar-player !!!!! and Lyle, Pedro and all the band too !!! Thanks for all you do to make my day better !!
My english is not good but je vous aime tous !!
I saw this lineup at a nice theatre , the sound was stellar but the guy sitting next to me had
sinus problems , kept wheezing , sniffling . Talk about someone getting in the way of something
so amazing to listen to .
Loved it going on 40 years now 💓💓💓 addition of Pedro Aznar vocals 💖💖💖
Watch this every day since 2011, and never get bored :)
In 10/10, this is 11
My friend about Pat "He knows how to put his fingers in the right place at the right time" 🙃
absolutely freaking phenomenal
A rare great early cable tv music program David Sanborn Pat Metheny ... from my home state of Missouri, Thank you
This group is always so other-worldly beautiful. They (musicianship/compositions) are unique yet accessible...not easily found in our world. Love it!
