I am so blessed! I got to see the Pat Metheny Group shortly after this album came out at a small coffee shop venue at UC Davis. They opened with this song as they often did at this time, and I was maybe 8 feet from Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays in the first row. The whole band was within 10 feet of me and my girlfriend. It was a spiritual experience I will never forget. I'm 65 and to this day this music makes my soul soar.
I got to meet him at Blues Alley in D.C, I happened to be walking by the green room, and the door was open and he was sitting there, and my jaw just dropped. He invited me in and basically I just stood there starstruck. Many years later I got to shake his hand and get an autograph from him in Portland OR. Both highlights of my life.
I shudder to think of living in an earlier time when Metheny and Mays were not a part of my life. Their music became the soundtrack of my college years and now hopefully the rest of my life. For me, life has had so many unanticipated twists and turns, but I have two constants I can always, always turn to: Architecture and the music of Metheny and Mays. How fortunate for me to have lived in the age of modern architecture and modern jazz.
@@kevindunlap5525 How lucky to see him in such a small venue (it was always Lisner or Merriweather Post Pavilion for me in D.C.. I did get to see Jaco on his Word of Mouth tour at Blues Alley (incredible show!).
Lyle... 50.1% of the magic in 1977, eh friends? RIP dear mate, your brilliance endures for all ages. Pat's trajectory continues and we are blessed with his living talent, grace and chops! Life is Good, thanks to our munificent poster!
In 1985, I was 29 and laying poolside Dallas TX. scanning back and forth between jazz channels recording on cassette what was for me, new fusion jazz songs. In this surrealistic afternoon adventure I happened upon Phase Dance, recording less than half of the song. Took 10 years before I was finally told it was PMG. By this time I was into the 5th duplicate copy of my original poolside recording. Believed I would never come to know whom I had unknowingly adored and revered for almost a decade. Thanks to whom ever thought to share this incredible comp of Pat's and Lyle's masterpieces in musical 🎶 accomplishments!!!!!
@@frontdesk9662 Yes sir, he still is. I listen to his music and it always takes me back to my days in Atlanta. I first heard him on a Friday night radio program called Jazz Flavors in the late 70's and have been a huge fan since. And I will always remember the great and gifted soul of Lyle Mays. He is greatly missed. God Bless.
Saw PMG in Englewood Cliffs, NJ in 77 maybe 79 totally mind blowing show. They played a really precise, loud, exceptionally tight show, great keyboards, bass and percussion along with the masterful jazz guitar of Pat M.. Been a fan ever since.
Phase Dance and San Lorenzo are the two most authentic, refreshing, groundbreaking and simply breathtaking creations that jazz fusion has created in the last 45 years. Nothing since the time that they were heard for the first time, has topped them
Just saw him Atlanta in February it was the best I've seen him. Brought me to tears. I've seen him in Europe 3 times and state side 12 times. His new tour is all of his stuff very refined. If he is coming nearby you don't miss that opportunity.
I can remember also when I first heard the "White Album". It was in the winter of 1977 looking out on a painfully clear and sunny day and my life had forever changed for the better. Similar to hearing Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior. This is what heaven sounds like.
The "White Album" still blows me away. It was a revelation to me. It was the perfect blend of acoustic and electric ( tronic ) sounds. It was what I was looking for for years and I didn't even realize it until I heard this.
I had never heard this before. This was 1977? This work was a foreshadowing of what was to come. I love this guy’s work. That is Lyle on the piano, right? He will be missed.😎
One of the greatest concerts that I've ever seen was The Pat Metheny Group in 1977 or 78 at The Roxy in Hollywood!!!! These amazing musicians, who looked like a rock band, played for almost three hours and BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!!
Second tune I heard by them after buying the white album on a blind recommendation. What a massive revelation this LP was. San Lorenzo by itself would have changed my life but then it just got better and better until Lone Jack just smokes you into the stratosphere. What an astonishingly original album. Thanks forever guys!!!
My God, The beginning piece on this was such a blast from the past- so many memories - college, relationships, the smooth jazz station on the radio at the time - so many memories came flooding back all at once, almost tripping over each other... realized then I really liked PM - forgot about him for a while- have just re- discovered him recently, and won’t let THAT happen again...
My very first purchased jazz-fuzion album was PMG "The First Circle" in 1984. It hardly ever left my tape deck for months. My very first live jazz-fuzion concert was "The First Circle Tour" at The Nautilus in Cleveland, OH in 1985. They started the show with the band members walking down the 3 or 4 aisles to the stage each playing a marching band instrument performing "Forward March." Its still in my top 3 concerts of all time.
The first Pat Metheny Group album I bought was “American Garage”. I saw the “First Circle” tour at the Music Hall in Kansas City, MO when I was eighteen years old. I saw him again at Sandstone Amphitheater in Kansas City, KS on the “Still Life (Talking” tour. I was lucky enough to meet his brother Mike Metheny at that show. I love Mike’s first major label album “Day In, Night Out”. To me, it’s a classic!
This represents the very best of human creativity. Pmg has stayed on their course . .maintained their craft.very rare in the music industry thats pressured by relentless commercialism.
If you listened to the original studio albums (except for live Road to You album, which is one of the best live albums ever recorded), those are the near flawless compositions/ performances of these great musicians. This explains the thumbs down categorizers. As with many other exceptional musicians who were equally dedicated with their contributions (too many to mention here), I'm not surprised at the level of the Mays/Metheny accomplishments toward producing the best they had to offer. PMG's genre time stamped an era with a variety of palatable sounds for our listening pleasure. Lyle Mays, I hope you're in a better place.
Phase Dance is a great song to Drive home too or while out hangin out on a rooftop or playing some good garage jam session!!!!! Lots of emotion in this song!!!!!!
jajaja my firts cassette of Pat Meth - send for my friend of New York city in spring of 1984-and say " Enjoy Brothers " the new in Jazz sound in my county.- "
First heard San Lorenzo on KBCO Boulder in December of 1978. Would not get out of my vehicle until I was told the name of the artist. Have been hooked ever since. Pat and Lyle's music became the soundtrack for my life.
Do you remember those old film reels called "Search for Solutions"? If you recognize the name, it's on a Pat Metheny Group Album, but since I could only listen in the car, I'm not sure which album because I just recorded 2 albums to each side of a cassette and looped while driving. Anyway, it was the title of these science type films, and that song melody in oberheimy that just hooked me hard. But I mention it because just hearing a tiny piece, each time, I was transfixed to the credits. Usually, they'd turn off the film, but I finally got it. It's THE SOUND that really lit me up like no other. Oddly, my best friend brought out a Metheny record about a month later and said, "what do you think of this?" I said, "I've got Bright Size Life." He wanted it. I owed him for giving me a great exposure to so many things. And the EXACT same thing happened in college. Then in grad school, a guy pulled me along to "First Circle" live right on campus. I had no idea. I was going to be a Metheny/Mays fan one way or the other. Each moment of their music is crafted, and it shows. Right? He hits a higher note than just jazz jams, and certainly the cheesy light jazz genre he's often lumped in. He's got a carefully crafted style of his own that has more dynamics, more emotion, a greater purity than would otherwise be possible, in my humble opinion. Help me out. I don't want to call it an intangible, because if anything has touched me it's this. What I think of them is not even relevant and I don't know why I post this comment, other than the fact that the PMG is something that has actually kept me alive. I just couldn't have made it without their music or, whatever it is they do, that feeds my soul. And I hoped someone could find the words I can't.
It's such a unique, dynamic and beautiful music, it hits you in the heart and soul. I don't have the words to describe it. If you're sick of radio, especially, then PMG is going to remind you what music is.

Beautiful song … I’ve seen Pat many times and will see him again in November in Portland, ME. I was blessed to study improv privately with his talented brother, Mike. (Song title is “Phase Dance”) 😉
I still remember the day I was turned on to this way back then,,,,,,,,and not long after it was Yellowjackets,,both major turning points in my music career .
Funny...last night I was watching John Pizzarelli performing some tracks from his new Metheny tribute album and Monday night I am going to see the Yellowjackets.
I see a trend.....as it was for me.....that when you first hear a P.M.G. tune you are captivated and remember where you were and how(f.m. station,record store..etc..) you heard them....then your life moves along with the music.
That very hot Summer of 1977 I was just leaving School ! As Bryan Ferry tells every interviewer on every interview he does and he's even been known to slip it in on stage between songs ? - He would say with such sincerity and aplomb... "I went to Art College you know ! " & Then he just stares at the interviewer as if he waiting for a round of applause - Or a responce like "Wow Bryan did you ! "- "Well I never? " -But Yes Bryan we know you did ? - Everyone knows ? - It Might have been a catch phrase he was working on ? Hmm - All those great lyrics he's wrote oer the years & " I went to art college you know ! " was the best he could do ? - Might have been an old chat up line ? We'll never know ? I, me - I went to art college in 1977 and a young lady in my class Christine would play Pat Methany in her dorm room with dorm open all the time ! - Ha! and when she closed her room door other students would go knock on her door and say come on chrissie either turn it up or Leave your door open ? - So surreal ? - You just couldnt make it up !
Pat Metheny Group Phase Dancer Live, At the Great Americam Music Hall , San Francsico y The Seatle Opera House entre Agosto y Septiembre 1977 34 min 36 seg
Un saludo desde Venezuela. Gracias por compartir este disco que contiene algunas de mis canciones preferidas de este grupo y eso años cuando empece a escuchar la musca de esta agrupación.
Yes Tracks 1, 2, 4 at The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, 8/31/77 (Phase Dance, Watercolors, Wrong is Right) Track 3 at the Seattle Opera House, 9/4/77 (San Lorenzo) It was broadcasted on FM radio a year or two later (I recorded it on reel-to-reel) and apparently a bootleg record was made - or Kevin Leiva just uploaded the same tape but created a nice cover for it! RIP Lyle Mays - an enormous influence on that early PMG sound and co-composer with Pat on these and many others of Pat's works, a fantastic pianist.
Saw the Pat Metheny Interview with Rick Beato and it was super informative. Learned quite a bit about my fav' guitarist and helped to make this music fresh to me again! :)
In all these years, I still prefer the original line up. I also like their version of "Wrong Is Right". Quite different to Larry Coryell's and John McLaughlin's piece on "Spaces". The original sounds more modern, even by today's standards, whereas this one here is a bit more melodious.
it's a bootleg, you can hear that by the sound distortion here and there (it's clear at the beginning). The first official live (Pat Metheny Group with Paul Wertico on drums and Steve Rodby on bass) is Travels (ECM 1983), the Offramp tour.
On sale at Amazon. Discogs says "No chance, it`s illegal". What the heck? We have YT. As a part time Jazz/Jazz Rock listener I can`t judge if this performance a good or a bad one. For me it`s something worth a listen every time I want!
“Congratulations for purchasing your 2022 Craftsman 21” push mower. Inside you will find the pre-assembled mower, oil, fuel additive and this instructional DVD. Pay extra attention to the warnings on the first page, most of which to include jazz-induced suicide via the ‘ol head-under-the-deck technique. Enjoy your new mower, and remember, the decades to follow thankfully involve technical breakthroughs such as compression, digital effects, and the internet. This instructional DVD was produced with assistance of MEI, Allan Holdsworth Enterprises, and viewers like you.”
Wow, had no idea there was a live album of this band. Is this a bootleg or is it an official record? Anyway, I'm happy it's posted to hear some live playing of these great songs by a great band that I grew up on (high school) and have cherished for many years. Wow, just read some of this is from a Great Anerican Music Hall show in SF. I was in the Bay Area at the time but couldn't make the show. At the time I was 15 years old and just becoming a fan of this great music along with all the fusion era bands like RTF, Jan Hammer, Weather Report, Bill Bruford etc.. Cool to hear them play Watercolors. Wow!
My first listening to the Pat Metheny art was on Spanish TV while celebrating Xacobeo aniversary in ´93. Since then I began to buy his LP´s and this was the first one, and blow my ears. Then I got obsessed in to seek the real influences of it because, for me, is clearly minimalistic but didn´t find any info about it. What do you think? Specially Phase dance.

What a breath of fresh air Pat was back in the beginning: Bright Size Life, Watercolors, Group...
So true, I totally agree. My first show was Offramp in '82. Jaw-dropping stuff. But of course... he still is, isn't he? Continues to be a vital voice

Amen.
ABSOLUTELY! YOU GOT IT!!
Yes San Lorenzo is still the bomb 💣.
And now he just noodles around with his trio , practicing jazz scales very well
2 of my favorite lyle takes you away and brings you back the way he plays piano 🎹 🎶 simply beautiful
Wow this brings back memories that I cant even explain without shedding some tears...Early days of college and fun times with the young ladies :)

The White Album was my first introduction to PMG. Astonishing and unforgettable.

Awesome song that doesn't go stale it's just that good 👍😎👌😀.
Absolute bliss. San Lorenzo's piano solo is just mesmerizing.

The Best Jazz Fusion band in the last 30 years-bar none.!!!
David Bonham I concur💯The Best!

Scot Henderson & Tribal Tech comes in 2nd.

As a lover of Flamenco music, I would love pat Matheny and the master of Flamenco guitar, Vicente Amigo, what a duo they make.
this part at around 22:30 is so serene. brings me peace. wish more in my generation were into jazz
I first heard this song in 1981 working the midnight shift at an alarm company, UMSL radio station played through the night. Pure Joy !

Tancar el ulls i escoltar i escoltar... What a so and so wonderful music. Close your eyes and listen and listen...

Wow! What a unique treat that must have been! I'm happy for you my music brother!
Dad turned me on 2 this..1977 .."if the wind could talk"..
This is simply beautiful
Boy, did I play this a lot back then…and for some time to come.
Simply a masterpiece🎶🎶🎶

Funny...last night I was watching John Pizzarelli performing some tracks from his new Metheny tribute album and Monday night I am going to see the Yellowjackets.
What a luck to have seen them. I'd loved to go to a Lyle Mays concert. Luckily Pat Metheny will be around a long time.
I was fortunate: I caught Lyle in 1986. Great show. I also saw many early PMG shows. Ooh, what a lucky man I was.
Telluride jazz festival summer 1977 brought the house down with this song, although it was outside (:-)
Good recording too

La musique modale dans tous ses états
i remember a superb performance at montpellier france in 1987 with "Still Life (Talking)" ///
I was there !
I think Pat/ Lyle/ Eberhard/ Dan/ Mark, etc.. during the early period were the perfect example of "the ECM sound".
ECM was the best. Many artists were on that label. I always thought John Abercrombies album " Characters " was a phenomenal album.
The greatest Lyle Mays, mist in our days..!😢
hearthbraking excellence.
Música maravillosamente interpretada por esta banda que cautiva bella hermosa gracias por compartir
This is great!
Just fantastic!
Never heard "Wrong is Right"... thanks and... interesting
So glad he dropped the "r" from the name!
I just Cried

Track 3 at the Seattle Opera House, 9/4/77 (San Lorenzo)
It was broadcasted on FM radio a year or two later (I recorded it on reel-to-reel) and apparently a bootleg record was made - or Kevin Leiva just uploaded the same tape but created a nice cover for it!
RIP Lyle Mays - an enormous influence on that early PMG sound and co-composer with Pat on these and many others of Pat's works, a fantastic pianist.
@@rhmayer1 Wonder if you can publish a track list here? Thanks. Never mind, I see it on another post.
Wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!

MARAVILHOSO
Heard them live in LA in 1984, the "First Circle" tour...
Cool music.
Saw the Pat Metheny Interview with Rick Beato and it was super informative. Learned quite a bit about my fav' guitarist and helped to make this music fresh to me again! :)

In all these years, I still prefer the original line up. I also like their version of "Wrong Is Right". Quite different to Larry Coryell's and John McLaughlin's piece on "Spaces". The original sounds more modern, even by today's standards, whereas this one here is a bit more melodious.
Spaces is a true classic record.
Super genial
Love this song. Like the studio s better. Gotlieb can't be replaced he was a trademark PMG drum.
Do remember that the versions presented were of works in progress. But, yes, the album versions, the final products, are stellar.
I've never heard this album. Is it a bootleg? Very Awesome!
it's a bootleg, you can hear that by the sound distortion here and there (it's clear at the beginning). The first official live (Pat Metheny Group with Paul Wertico on drums and Steve Rodby on bass) is Travels (ECM 1983), the Offramp tour.
*Dan Gottlieb on drums
Excelente jazz
My long time favorite Pat Metheny Group! Will look who will replacement the late late Lyle Mays!
...no one will replace Lyle Mays.
On sale at Amazon. Discogs says "No chance, it`s illegal". What the heck? We have YT. As a part time Jazz/Jazz Rock listener I can`t judge if this performance a good or a bad one. For me it`s something worth a listen every time I want!

Then why the F did you listen to this awesome music, idiot?
❤❤❤
Nice feeling for me now !
We are-----
Wow, had no idea there was a live album of this band. Is this a bootleg or is it an official record? Anyway, I'm happy it's posted to hear some live playing of these great songs by a great band that I grew up on (high school) and have cherished for many years. Wow, just read some of this is from a Great Anerican Music Hall show in SF. I was in the Bay Area at the time but couldn't make the show. At the time I was 15 years old and just becoming a fan of this great music along with all the fusion era bands like RTF, Jan Hammer, Weather Report, Bill Bruford etc.. Cool to hear them play Watercolors. Wow!
Travels is also a live album on the ECM label
@@vinylmeister2165 But by then, Steve Rodby had replaced Mark Egan.
butifl
My first listening to the Pat Metheny art was on Spanish TV while celebrating Xacobeo aniversary in ´93. Since then I began to buy his LP´s and this was the first one, and blow my ears. Then I got obsessed in to seek the real influences of it because, for me, is clearly minimalistic but didn´t find any info about it. What do you think? Specially Phase dance.
i love all pat and lyle's music. my first album was Speaking of Now which i believe saved my life
