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.
One of my favourite videos on RUclips. 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...
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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..😉
Absolutely knock out. I read somewhere that PM finds RUclips 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.
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!
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
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. 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.
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..!!
Great addition to the compendium of Metheny Mays music. Early. Perhaps more jazz influence than later work like Minuano 6/8, First Circle and It’s Just Talk.
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
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?!
@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.
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.
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
Listen to Steve's solo on Insensatez on the Speaking of Now DVD. Also the way classic PMG tracks like 5-5-7 or So May it Secretly Begin start with a Steve bass riff. He is not as upfront as Egan. But Pat knew what he was doing when he hired him
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.

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...!?!

I had the great pleasure 2 hear it live !!!
Wow!!
I heard them live -87? in Lund, Sweden. Beautiful!

Metheny blew my mind with his performance of ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE. Great stuff.
Ten minutes pure goosebumps. One of the best Jazz Musicians on this planet..... :-)
I really liked this version of the Pat Metheny Group. They had a real chemistry together.
My "Fab Four"
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!
Few other songs have managed to give me boosebumps each and everytime I listen. Godlike music
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.
Still my favorite lineup. I'm stubborn.
i can relate.
Saw this same line-up 8x in 7 years. Incredible.

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.
God I love this composition it says so much. They were definitely in the zone.
The PMG sweet spot sound that is unmistakably all there's forever.
*theirs

Is galling an actual word? I have to look that up.
Man , their grooves were sooooo deep. Whadda band!

This is an amazing song.....Pat plus Lyle is love love love!!!!!!
Lord Almighty what a great band, excellent musicians totally homed in on each other!
Vraiment éblouissant...D une puissance indescriptible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dammit. Lyle ATE that tune up. On Pat’s tune. My Lawd.
Amen to everything posted thus far! Simply amazing musicianship.

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.
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
Brano da suonare rigorosamente con il basso fretless.. grazie sempre a papà Pstorius!
Metheny el guitarrista No. 1 del mudo!!!
RIP. LYLE MAYS.
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
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.
lyle killing it omg
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.
I was thinking the same thing myself!
Yeah, super underrated. If I heard him playing on a contemporary album it’d still hold up.
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?
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.
Mark Egan. He's done some decent Jaco-esque fusion work since Metheny's band.
Breathtaking 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Poker of young, very talented Musicians. R.I.P Great Lyle. We Miss You...

Yes,- and he couldn't spell either!
@@jazzman1954 IMMENSE, my mistake.
Glad to see people loving good music and good grammar ;)
@@PabloVestory 👍
La Soundtrack de mi vida. Eran tan joven. Inocencia y perfecion.
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.
Superb !
very nice. Surprise to hear it grow to a rocking climax in Pat's solo. Original recording didn't suggest that transformation.
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 ...
just outstanding
Thanks a million, cahsberg, for having shared that video.
RIP brother Lyle.
I learned this tune backwards and forwards....and now I cant remember how to play it.
Probably his most talented line up it's so natural.
Stunning

Really...!!!
thanks for sharing! this just gave me a much needed boost of inspiration.
one of the best performances of metheny, onkel pos 80!!!
Holy shit they are so good.
Awesome old Lyle Mays Group video

lov you pat straight from the heart.
So many fuckin chord changes!!...immense!!...
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.
this is so good
pure musical poetry
sublime
pat is so amazing...i have never heard a song by hom that i did nt like
RIP Lyle Mays
greatest video ever

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.
and by the way ... lyle ... he was and is one of the greatest musicians on the planet
And what a composer.
Sweet progression.
Bill Evans would be proud
I doubt it.
@@jazzman1954 Right! He’d be jealous!

I never knew they made four clones of Pat...and they used to play as a quartet!!
Ad ogni modo Pat ha mostrato grande talento sin da giovane età
god i thought i was good but to see him this early he had everything already
Il fretless è uno strumento straordinariamente caldo e coinvolgente, c'è poco da dire!
4:16 was confused if im in the wrong movie here
but luckily then i saw his guitar
Wow... I thought Metheny had never performed this song live. What a great surprise to find this video. Thanks so much for uploading.
Boas
R.I.P. Lyle Mays...
yea!
Wow
@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.
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.
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.
El mejor cuarteto de Pat
pat was 26 yrs old ... fuck now im 64 .. 2019
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.
😍
track from Bright size life
R.I.P. Mark Ledford.
En la boca del Desierto estuvo aquí.
aside of Jaco, I very much prefer Mark Egan over Steve Rodby who sounds sometimes too dull. Love Pat's ECM era.
Listen to Steve's solo on Insensatez on the Speaking of Now DVD. Also the way classic PMG tracks like 5-5-7 or So May it Secretly Begin start with a Steve bass riff. He is not as upfront as Egan. But Pat knew what he was doing when he hired him
@ hgsbnt Rodby plays perfect supportive bass, rather than trying to clone Jaco…
But Egan is a fine player
Like it was yesterday...
