Probably the greatest musical composition of the last 100 years . There are simply no words to describe it . Joyful . Spiritual . Profound . Thank God for Pat and Lyle .
RIP Lyle Mays (1953 - 2020)
I've loved his music for decades because I find it so life-affirming.
I pray for his heavenly transition 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you for the music that will ever change my life❤️ I met my husband in Japan at this concert and he also has been called home to our Lord and Savior❤️ 5/12/2020
Lyle Mays is Legendary. I swear his piano play was not of this world. He is missed.
I agree have you listened to “New born” and “Long Life” both life affirming from cradle to grave. Both by LM
Amen brother… I’m missing him now… again, in 2022.
Me also. My heart aches for his absence. He enriched my life so much with his haunting piano.
Been listening to this several times a year for decades.....I think this may be the greatest single song ever written. It's flawless.
Agreed
Probably once a week for me for those decades and I have to agree with you!
Agree it’s a good song and Pat seems to be put through his paces with tempo so fast at times but my favorite from this albums is End of the Game.
I have to say that if I could back in time, I’d give whatever it would cost, and I was fresh graduate from college at the time… but WHATEVER it would have cost, to be in the audience that night!
@@enigmawyoming5201 I attended an "Imaginary Day" album tour show. After performing the entire album, straight through (impressive enough!), Pat then took the mic and went backwards, song-by-song, briefly offering his thoughts about each song, without a single moment of hesitation. 'Very impressive. What a mind.
Lyle Mays was/is the coolest musician I've ever watched. Virtuoso doesn't come close to adequate description. RIP maestro.
Best American jazz group ever!!!!!!! Beyond talented!!!!!! Been listening to them since I was in the womb in 1987. My dad use to play them all the time for me!!!!! I really wish I was at this concert! I Love you PMG forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't wish for what you could never have. Just enjoy the music and be inspired to go out and look for the next genius - they're out there - and make that moment something you pass to your kids...(from an old guy who saw this tour)
I am convinced it is Lyle that drives this song! He is present EVERYWHERE in this masterpiece!
Myles carries!
RIP sweet Lyle....🥺
YES but tell the producer! Lyle is doing all the heavy lifting and we see hardly any of it.
Lyle Mays solo is just amazing. I wish it would just go on forever much like the rest of the song. The arrangement by Pat and Lyle is so damn good and I wouldn't have minded if it was another five minutes longer. A favorite of mine since I first heard it. And this version is my go to for this song. Live is always better.
If I had only one song to listen to the rest of my life, this would keep me hearing new things in it and put a smile on my face as well. Pat's hands must feel like it's going to fall off after that.
Totally agree!!! This has been my most favorite song of all time...over the Beatles, Zepellin, all of the jazz greats, etc. This is such an uplifting, joyous piece of music and has that total 'trip factor' built in that Pat says he puts into every composition. I have seen him play it many times and it never gets worn out.
colonna sonora nei viaggi delle mie vacanze...1990...
It's 5 years later from your last post Marty lemons.its 2021 this is one of my major groups . I was introduced to his music in 1996. "We live here" I hope you're able to read this . Wherever you are God bless you Mr lemons
I saw the band in person on the day of the concert, and it was a truly emotional performance, and all of the members shone. The breath of the earth was flowing through the air and enveloping the venue.
Well said. Salute.
This is definitely my favorite line up of Pat Metheny group. RIP Mark Ledford.
The only tune I know that can elevate and bring a tear to an eye....30 years later :)
Always the version I return to. Now listening after the sad news of Lyle's death :(
Agree. I was shocked to find out today he had recently died. Not even that old.
@@robertjensen1048 Quite sad indeed, feeling sad for the whole planet on this day also.
No! How very sad.
While Pat Metheny's music is always alive when I play it, seeing him performing makes it come top life in another very special way! What an awesome, accessible composer and performer!
I feel blessed to have had the chance to see this band play 3 times in the 1990's.
Jealous. but happy for you
Three times in the 1980s, and 1995. Similar feelings.
This piece, "Minuano", and "Finding and Believing" are my three favorite PM compositions. I would regard him as a musical genius based on those three pieces alone, but he has accomplished a universe of other achievements as well! I was lucky enough to meet Pat backstage in NYC at the Village Vanguard sometime around 2000 or so (I knew his then bass player Peter Washington from Grad school so he introduced me). I basically told him thank you so much for your amazing musical gifts to Humanity, and also that I think "Finding and Believing" is one of the greatest compositions of the 20th Century and that it really had a profound effect on me - he was pretty floored and so incredibly humble - what a class act. A true musical genius.
And don't under estimate Lyle Mays contribution to the music. He and Pat were so good together. I really love hearing these songs done live. So much talent here on this tour.
Every single second of this is magic.
Incredibly powerful song. One of their absolute best. I love the intensity of how the song builds. Man, I thought Pats hand was going to fall off! Never seen such fast strumming!!!
I was lucky enough to see them perform this multiple times, simply transcendent!
man these guys really earned my respect. Always playing on a completely different level. It's unreal.
Been listening to this for 40 years. As awesome as ever.
Such a beautiful song. My father would always this song every Saturday and Sunday morning. I absolutely love Pat Metheny
This just never gets old for me.
My favorite version. Pat Metheny + Lyle Mays = Perfection.
Kat Tyler
Pat Metheny y Peter Gabriel en tu lista 👍😉😚
A thought like that is perfection.
I agree!! Wonderfull this version!! Pat, Lile, vocals!!
Pat Metheny is "The Master of Joyful Music!" This song is one of his masterpieces....my favorite. When I was brokenhearted because I lost everyone, I was determined to find my joy again, all by myself. This version grounded me in joy....proof that I could love myself when no one else cared. Lyle, please continue to play for us in Heaven, in our dreams.
This masterpiece is simply staggering in scope. The variety of instruments and vocals produce a magical sound. Pat Metheny group is in a class of their own!
This group is a national treasure.
Epic is an understatement. This song is best heard live in concert. Amazing, classy and classic.
This version of the Pat Metheny Group is the best in my opinion. And this composition may be my absolute favorite. I really love the ending - so powerful and emotional.
I play cello and electric violin...wishing that I could play with you. Great music. Luv it!
Blue Dave.
That vocal countermelody at the end......🤩
Amazing. Loved this composition by PM all my life. Beautiful version.
I have just found this again, and it really it out of this world. I feel very lucky to have seen them play live in Manchester, England in the 1990s.
Unbelievable energy
PMT Group. #1 Jazz Fusion group. He has sought out unique musicians, unique compositions and melded it all together with that special touch of Pat & Lyle(his most awesome pianist & sidekick)
What a freaking masterpiece. In over 20 years I have never tired of hearing it.
still love this song. I'll never forget getting to be part of one of their performances with my jazz major group !
Live performance and the Pat Metheny Group sound nearly identical to the recording. A testament to amazing musicians!
Kurt Burgess except for the solos which are totally different
The different solo parts are always the best parts in jazz
this is a journey as much as it is a song. i can't listen to it without smiling. after all these years it is still fresh. timeless music.
booyahhh!!! nothin' else like it. long live pat metheny!!!
Two things: This is the quintessential jazz song!! Metheny plays the acoustic guitar with such ferocity in this song!!
I have to say, as always with every musician pat has had in his group, that steve's bass playing over the years never ceases to amaze me even though bass isn't my instrument. He is hands down the most musical bass player i know of and when you listen to him what he does, it's mind blowing really. Insane musician ship.
touch of god, thank you Pat
Seeing and hearing this close up for the first time gave me chills!!!!
It's an optimistic song, a song for celebrating the joy of living, the way Pat does
SENSACIONAL!! A primeira vez que ouvi FIRST CIRCLE foi em um show que o Pat Metheny Group fez no Brasil há muuuitos anos. Conforme a música ia evoluindo meus olhos ficavam mareados, emoção pura!! Que música fantástica. Ainda hoje mais de 20 anos depois sinto as mesmas coisas!! QUe lindo momento!!!
This is definitely a milestone piece for PMG & Lyle Mays. 25yrs later after discovering this song, I still can’t help not singing along and listen to the various licks and notes and sounds and etc of this masterpiece. Thank you PMG.
The sheer genius of Pat Metheny...Important that he makes music.
Great performance. Voices are finely sang, crescendo and give such enthousiasm.
To me the greatest guitar player, composer and arragement of jazz music
I loved it then, I love it now ... a great piece
This is amazing how it sounds so major in minor!!!! Unique composition so much happiness, sun and some pain the same time...
This is, without any hesitation, a modern masterpiece. Brilliant example of exceptional musicians connected by a masterful composition. Hats off to Pat for his awesome leadership.
One of my most favorite, favorite, favorite albums!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
この年まで、来日ライブは必ず聞きに行ってたんですよね。ブルーノートも含めて。ブルーノートでの演奏後、はける際に握手してもらったのはいい思い出。ライル・メイズがなくなって残念至極。
This is such an incredibly beautiful peice. Pat and Lyle are one of the greatest duo's of this century. Such incredible feeling and care for the composition. Its as if it were a child how they nurture the song or a wife how carefully they romance every phrase as if it were the last one they will ever play. Uncompromisably exquisite..Sorry to be dripping with praise but this peice really got to me. Thanks for maybe understanding, Ha!
No sorry necessary, it's brilliant & I bet everyone here understands 😉
The bass in this version has the gain up and stands out nicely. It's a great listen.
Whole different approach to guitar music for me in the 70s I feel so lucky to be able to have heard it and pass it on. Drink it in my friends.
What a lovely song
I growing up with Pat and Lyle. Their music playing with my Soul ... ❤️❤️
Man....what's not to like about this music!! Brilliant!!!!
No me canso de escuchar a Pat, pueden pasar años, ojala exista toda la vida.
pasen mas canciones de el.
This was the first album i got of these excellent musicians.
Uno dei più bei brani che ho vissuto dal vivo più volte grazie a Pat e il suo gruppo che amano l’Italia ❤
Genius at work
I am so awed, and have been by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays since I first heard Phase Dance in 1979! There compositions are BLISS!
I was born one year after this O.O I envy all you folks like my dad who were able to enjoy this kind of music in its time -___-
incredible Pat-Mays group!
sheer brilliance… both spiritual and powerful and restores my faith in humanity. Thanks for finding this gem!!
I love this song for years..!
Just love this piano solo... Lyle Mays is the ultimate jazz pianist!
Que tremendo tema, me entrega alegria al alma y esperanza..
Nothing short of pure brilliance. Nothing short of Mr. Metheny and Lyle Mays who created music.
THANKS
Firs time I “see” live the two voices at the end. Very few pieces have the energy of First Circle! Really, this inspiration came from above! No less!
This band is one of the best group of musicians arrangement voice sounds blend together the best of the best Lyle RIP 🌹🌹🌹🌹
OMG just found this version, another masterpiece by Lyle, and love watching Pat hovering over him stoking the fire. : )
This is Metheny's finest song, even better than "Are you going with me," which has Mays playing a harmonica sound with his right hand on a Korg while his left hand plays an Oberheim 8-voice and it has Pedro Arnaz singing his heart out. This one, however, is joyous and anthemic and makes one stand out and hug the entire audience as we all climb the mountain of sound. I played this at the end of a two-hour memorial for my mother, that's how much I love it....
A música do Pat Metheny, a solo ou com o seu Group tem-me acompanhado ao longo dos últimos 40 anos, quer através dos seus discos quer dos shows que tive o privilégio de assistir. A sua música e o seu virtuosismo são brilhantes e proporcionam momentos de rara beleza, prazer e emoção. A sua música é uma parte marcante da nossa vida, a ponto de os meus filhos, quando eram pequenos, ao escutarem o som do Pat no carro já diziam: É a música das férias, porque era o soundtrack das nossas viagens em família. Obrigado Pat!
I went to the PMG concert at the Alabama Theater in February of '98. I'm a huge Metheny fan.
Out of words. Thanks for sharing!
The most epic piece of music ever written, hands down. For some reason i never cry when listening to music, but if i would, i would drown in my own tears because of the beauty of this piece.
Love you, Pat. I'm going with you!
Entendu pour la première fois, il y a plus de 20 ans, cette musique m'a bouleversé à jamais, tant de beauté, de pureté, d'honnêteté, et quelle inspiration ! Intemporelle merveille de chez merveille !
My thoughts wander each time I listen to this...
Mark Ledford
RIP 1960-2004
Great music from pat as always
Breathtakingly perfect and sublime!
Ei-lo. Pat Metheny Group em grande momento... Sensacional!
Perfection .. no other word sums it up
So enjoyable to listen to and such miraculus musicianship.
Perhaps one of the best LIVE performances of REAL musicians that I have ever witnessed. Amazing musicianship throughout each section.
(this is one of TWO postings of this video that I have seen, btw)
The more Metheny we have around the internet, the better off the world would be. :)
Thanks!
It's just beautiful, the real music. First heard it in a friend's place and I was amazed~~love it.
1990 at friends beach cabin .... listening .....Sun was Rising !!
I was born two years before this, and my dad made me listen to this while I was inside of my mother :) (Last Train Home particularly)
Ditto, jcarlosco, RIP Mark Ledford, he knew how to bring it, both on the horns and espcially with his voice. What a gift to all of us.
Me too - I think it's because this music is inside all of us - Metheny knows how to bring it out so we can experience it.
SEEK BEAUTY
Most awesome song I have ever heard. :)
a monster of a tune, a monster of a group ... and a monster keyboard player ... Lyle Mays. i always loved this tune, especially Lyle Mays' solo on the cd recording. it was nice to see him tickling the ivories on this video. BRAVO!!!
No words, yet communicates so much. Wertico was always impressive in this band, great player.
This was the best formation of the pat Metheny group. Lyle and Pat are the best musicians of all time
Takes me back 25 years - love this!!!!! Thanks so much for posting this - pure musical brilliance.
Soundtrack for the struggling Hero's life, - Always a motivating. Thanks PMG!
Brilliant Playing.
PMG HEALS.......
This music could help save our planet.. It speaks to man's truest nature...LOVE AND COMPASSION
This brings back memories to when I studied music in Los Angeles and spent a few days at home sick. This ran on repeat… hope filled the air
