The BEST band I personally ever heard. This is a once in a lifetime original sound that is all theirs. Return to forever, weather report-like monumental. Mind blowing.
@@chrischoir3594 you should hope and wish and pray to have the talent Pat has under his pinky nail in you. Lmao, hater. Troll elsewhere and move out of your Moms basement.
One of my favourite videos on CZcams. At least once I week I come here, get my shit together and head back to life. Just love how calm and uplifting it is...
I remember seeing Pat early 70's. We sat on a rug on the floor and were looking up at the band playing. They were from that day to this among the very best musical groups playing today!
Onkel Po’s club in Hamburg. A place with a vibe. Where Al Jarreau launched practically 5 years earlier. Why did that time create the music that transformed us all? Where did it go? No one in this video that night cared a kick about social media or what to E it was. We all just listened- and want d more. Some of even took up our own musical journey. Man it was great. I need to look forward but looking back teaches me so much - and it seems more alive than ever. I’m grateful I can studio this music now and learn from it. What a gift.
We are so effing lucky this video exists. I missed this lineup by one year (saw them in 1981) and as much as I love what followed, this lineup and this set are it for me.
Absolutely knock out. I read somewhere that PM finds CZcams vids of old gigs a bit galling but, honestly, this is remarkably good. Just a unique concept of sound and composition. This is 1980 but sounds just as good in 2019 as it did 40 years ago.
Don't know how I missed this piece.. been following PMG/got most albums/CDs since American Garage.. guess it was overshadowed by something else. This is the original lineup when they were just "kids". THANK YOU for uploading this.
This was on Pat's 1st record..Bright Size Life..a trio record with Jaco and Bob Moses..the group never recorded it together..obviously played it live though..😉
Great!! This brings back great memories of playing this music in Boston in the late 70's! And of course Pat's excellent Bright Size Life record. Thanks for posting!
Amen. I miss hearing Lyle's deep solos on Pat's recordings. Nobody does a better job of creating a solo that tells a story and builds the story to a climax. His left hand playing compliments his right so well.
He asistido a tantos conciertos de Pat...Pero cuanto me hubiese gustado estar en éste...Veo a esos integrantes del grupo, los que aparecen en la contraportada de American Garage y se me ponen los pelos de punta.
I think That's my preferred and loved Metheny's composition... he said that he don't know why and from where cames the idea & inspiration for this masterpiece... and he's sure that never he will compose another piece at this level... arrived directly from cosmos.... great & thanx for posted it
1 of the best lineups in 1977..80.81.lineup with hayden ,dejon.my 2 fav metheny bands .great stuf thruout but those mine .dad turn me on to 1st album .77 saw zep tull yes elp.but they were up there those 2 lineups.
Great to see the originals back in those heady days of PMG' s formative years. Those of us following them at this time were really intrigued as to what these guys were doing, but we had no idea what was in-store for us. Thank you Mark Egan (bass) and Danny Gotlieb (drums) for helping to crank this phenomenal musical juggernaut up. [!!]
Pat Metheny.... Lyle Mays.... Dan Gottlieb and Marc Egan... I was 13 years old while they were playing in Onkel Pö's in Hamburg.... too young to go.... but from 1985 till 1989 I didn't miss a concert they played in Hamburg even if there were 2 shows on the same day....
I was there too. BSL was in heavy rotation for me. What a great time and place to be a teenager during. What an awesome pool table there at OP. It was a dinky place. But a temple to modern music. Saw a double bill: XTC opening for James Blood Ulmer. Plans For Nigel was epic and huge.
La profondità del basso di Jaco ti fa vibrare qualcosa tra gola e addome. Mark, tu hai iniziato con la tromba, poi sei passato al basso, Jaco è il basso elettrico! Comunque mi fa piacere ascoltare la tua interpretazione, apprezzo così ancora di più il Maestro..!!
hey rex. thats his old gibson es-175. i think its from 1958. He took out the bridge pickup as you can see, and the switch, just filled them in. He played this until the late 90s i think (along with his ibanez) but then retired it. He used flat wound strings and turned the tone almost all the way down. Add his true chorus sound invention and micro delay and you got the sound! @ Rex Shaffer
@boasdubbelman Same here. One of my most favorite Pat Metheny compositions. Also one of my favorite Jaco solos on that record. It's just so poignant over those changes.
There used to be a performance of "Airstream" from this same Hamburg (1980) gig. Could whoever has the tape of this concert please put that song up once again?!
Yeah it’s really difficult to play besides a musical hurricane that’s jaco was but of course the most beautiful hurricane in the history of electric bass love you jaco still the best
I've heard him get great tone from a Roland jazz chorus. Nothing negative against tube amps,but it make me wonder about the fuss many people make about the tube vs solid state amps.I'm old enough to remember how TVs sounded back in the 60s, when it was all tubes, but I've never heard anyone lament about the sound you get from a flatscreen tV.
Wow. So great. Heard these guys many times and with Joni Mitchell. The group must have gone through mega gallons of shampoo and conditioner even on one tour.
Pat Metheny guitar , Lyle Mays keyboards, Dan Gottlieb drum and Marc Egan bass. Great quartet
Lyle and Pat. Both so young and already possessing distinct voices - I loved it then and still do. I miss you Lyle. You're still my favorite.
The BEST band I personally ever heard. This is a once in a lifetime original sound that is all theirs. Return to forever, weather report-like monumental. Mind blowing.
I really liked this version of the Pat Metheny Group. They had a real chemistry together.
Excuse me, Rolling Stone, but here is your #1 guitarist.
#1 fake facial expression guitarist perhaps
rolling stone ranking is a fake
@@chrischoir3594 Mantaining the same expression over thirty years...!?!

Ten minutes pure goosebumps. One of the best Jazz Musicians on this planet..... :-)
Dammit. Lyle ATE that tune up. On Pat’s tune. My Lawd.
Still my favorite lineup. I'm stubborn.
i can relate.
Saw this same line-up 8x in 7 years. Incredible.

All the licks are here with this Lyle Mays solo.Want to hear the ultimate Lyle Mays? Then listen to "Mirrors of the Heart" RIP

Is galling an actual word? I have to look that up.
Sirabhorn is one of my favourites
I had the great pleasure 2 hear it live !!!
Wow!!
I heard them live -87? in Lund, Sweden. Beautiful!

Few other songs have managed to give me boosebumps each and everytime I listen. Godlike music
God I love this composition it says so much. They were definitely in the zone.
I saw this lineup in Westport, CT, at Player's Tavern when Pat had just released the white abum in 1978. They were unbelievable!!!
I saw the same tour when it hit San Diego State College that year. Fabulous.
Is there a CD from this session?
Man , their grooves were sooooo deep. Whadda band!
Glad you like it. I have an audio bootleg of Pat's tour for the Bright Size Life album w/ Jaco, and they perform the tune there, too.
The PMG sweet spot sound that is unmistakably all there's forever.
*theirs
Brano da suonare rigorosamente con il basso fretless.. grazie sempre a papà Pstorius!
Great!! This brings back great memories of playing this music in Boston in the late 70's! And of course Pat's excellent Bright Size Life record. Thanks for posting!
thanks for sharing! this just gave me a much needed boost of inspiration.
lyle killing it omg

I was thinking the same thing myself!
Yeah, super underrated. If I heard him playing on a contemporary album it’d still hold up.
Lord Almighty what a great band, excellent musicians totally homed in on each other!
He asistido a tantos conciertos de Pat...Pero cuanto me hubiese gustado estar en éste...Veo a esos integrantes del grupo, los que aparecen en la contraportada de American Garage y se me ponen los pelos de punta.
Amen to everything posted thus far! Simply amazing musicianship.
Thanks Cashberg, this video made me feel sure happy. I listen music from Pat since 1983, and that era was better than these days, less comercial
Thanks a million, cahsberg, for having shared that video.
Mark Egan. He's done some decent Jaco-esque fusion work since Metheny's band.
I think That's my preferred and loved Metheny's composition... he said that he don't know why and from where cames the idea & inspiration for this masterpiece... and he's sure that never he will compose another piece at this level... arrived directly from cosmos.... great & thanx for posted it
Metheny el guitarrista No. 1 del mudo!!!
Vraiment éblouissant...D une puissance indescriptible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP. LYLE MAYS.
O cara é do cacete mesmo ... o solo dele na música de Toninho Horta “ Manuel o Audaz “ é uma das mais belas que tive o prazer de ouvir ...
Man that was great to hear! Thanks Danny..... sorry for the loss of Lyle.
New Chataqua ... my introduction to PM in 1979. Never looked back ❤️🎶🎵🎶
Mine too. 4 in the morning after the bar. Sat in the dark and heard it on the radio. 1979. Remember like it was yesterday.
Big fan of Pat... seen him live on three occasions since 1985... never heard this piece previously... sublime!
Do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in the early stuff.
This is an amazing song.....Pat plus Lyle is love love love!!!!!!
very nice. Surprise to hear it grow to a rocking climax in Pat's solo. Original recording didn't suggest that transformation.
Lyle Mays is INMENSE
Yes,- and he couldn't spell either!
@@jazzman1954 IMMENSE, my mistake.
Glad to see people loving good music and good grammar ;)

Probably his most talented line up it's so natural.

I learned this tune backwards and forwards....and now I cant remember how to play it.
RIP Lyle Mays
one of the best performances of metheny, onkel pos 80!!!
So many fuckin chord changes!!...immense!!...
lov you pat straight from the heart.
god i thought i was good but to see him this early he had everything already
Bill Evans would be proud
I doubt it.
@@jazzman1954 Right! He’d be jealous!
Holy shit they are so good.

Superb !
and by the way ... lyle ... he was and is one of the greatest musicians on the planet
And what a composer.
just outstanding
Stunning
It would be fun to hear how Pat would approach this solo today. Hard to top it. Great tune!
Guess you get your wish to hear it... on Pat's latest Side Eye album. Love the new version as well.
Wow... I thought Metheny had never performed this song live. What a great surprise to find this video. Thanks so much for uploading.
Boas
Ad ogni modo Pat ha mostrato grande talento sin da giovane età
this is so good
Il fretless è uno strumento straordinariamente caldo e coinvolgente, c'è poco da dire!
Amazing!
I hear Gary Burton in there somewhere!!...
This song was written while Pat was still in Burton's band so that's not too surprising.
I never knew they made four clones of Pat...and they used to play as a quartet!!
greatest video ever
Awesome old Lyle Mays Group video
Sweet progression.
pure musical poetry
pat is so amazing...i have never heard a song by hom that i did nt like
sublime

Thanks for posting. Captures a great period. Lurve PM's sound from that time.
Did the jeans come with a health warning?!
En la boca del Desierto estuvo aquí.
Like it was yesterday...
4:16 was confused if im in the wrong movie here
but luckily then i saw his guitar
😍
Wow

Damn, at 6 minutes in I was an emotional mess!
It's ok, you can get therapy.
@@jazzman1954 this music is therapy :')
@@arguellescisnerosmovies2442 For you maybe. Not for me.
I really miss Jaco in those Trio performances. But this guy is great too. I want to see pat playin' with R.Bona those bright size life tracks.
By the way, Pat has said that although he is glad to have recorded with Jaco, he never wished to work with him beyond Bright Size Life.
Yeah it’s really difficult to play besides a musical hurricane that’s jaco was but of course the most beautiful hurricane in the history of electric bass love you jaco still the best
@@Aggromerchant They toured together with Joni Mitchell on her Shadows and Light Tour.

Sure miss Jaco's input on this one!! 🥲
