      I can hear that. I've seen them twice in the early 1980s and both times they played most of this album. Amazing.

  • @jeffcallicott9269

    What an amazing cut. This is Pat and Lyle’s tribute to the innovative jazz keyboardist Bill Evans, who influenced them both greatly. Evans died September 15, 1980… hence the name of this song. Pat and Lyle released the “As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls” album, which included this song, in 1981.
    I remember the first time I heard this - on vinyl of course - many years ago. I was awestruck by its beauty and almost heartbreaking tone. Rick Beato, an authority on music if there ever was one, called ”September Fifteenth” the most beautiful song he knows.
    I was fortunate enough to hear this live back in the early 2000s. Live, Pat and Lyle ended the cut on a single plucked guitar note. I can still remember that moment, the audience mesmerized in absolute silence and near total darkness, the only light softly shining in blues, purples and occasionally white on two masterful musicians, Pat’s plucking hand slowly rising high into the air. That single note rang out much more softly than even the sound of the building’s air handling system, and it slowly, tenderly, faded to silence.

      PMG have a true understanding of musical Dynamics like no other artists. Yes especially in the live sense - I saw them together I think 4 times over a decade starting with First Circle. You can hear a pin drop in the audience when Pat is playing Acoustic guitar. For me, Lyle Mays is one of the best and he is the hero of this band ensemble. Ric Beato's story about seeing them in NY (where he was a Usher at the venue to get into the show) and the subsequent all nighter with his roommate and Lyle playing chess till the we hours. I can never get enough PMG. I am grateful to have an older brother turn me onto this music in the later 70's when I was just barely a teenager. The music was a bit advanced for me but I grew into it and it changed my life. I have to admit Pat is my all time favorite Guitarist next to Jimi Hendrix. I love every single story and insight regarding Pat and Lyle. Thank you for sharing

    This entire album is a beauty… both Pat and Lyle shine, as well as the great Nana Vasconcelos in percussion and vocals, although he doesn’t participate in this specific track… Love your reaction…
    And on a different note, I am 66, and it’s striking to see you both following a similar path of musical discovery, 40 years later… Nick was reacting yesterday to Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, today to this beauty, both pieces have accompanied me for 40 years or so…
    And of course I also started with Yes and prog, Yes being my all time number one…
    If you want an easy way to discover a magnificent musical world, listen to ANYTHING from the ECM label, that’s where Metheny, Corea, Keith. Jarrett, Pärt, Terje Rypdal (the greatest guitarist that you probably never heard of), Jan Garbarek (the greatest tenor sax player you probably never heard of) , and the list keeps going and going… 40 years ago when there was no RUclips and no Internet, that was one way to find new music… ECM!
    Y por supuesto, siendo de Buenos Aires, rock nacional!!!
    Love and peace
    P.S.And if you have heard Terje Rypdal and Jan Garbarek, then you know what I am talking about! ❤

      @cozmicpfunk 4 дня назад +1

      Thank you for sharing about this, I was thinking about the ECM label- in Ric Beato's interview PM mentioned the recording with ECM- that usually they did every thing in a live room all in one track, no over dubs or large production. ECM was like a Boutique label for the modern (contemporary) Jazz aficionado. There are no bad artists on ECM, actually all of them are Virtuosos! I feel kindred spirit in that I was pre teen hearing Art Rock (which was renamed into Prog) that started with Rush, then Yes and Genesis, Crimson, ELP et al thanks to my older Brother Joe. PMG came a few years later around 78 or so.
      I mentioned in the comments above I saw the First Circle show in UT Austin in 86 and it changed my life about everything especially Music. I listen to PMG before I do my own solo music performance to get into a space of both quality and improv. I feel people that are into PM are very deep minded and heart centered who identify music on a different level than entertainment, I might even say spiritual.
      I love that YT has a open forum to share our love and I so much enjoy seeing a younger generation discovering Music like PMG. I feel spoiled that heard them at such a young age then developed a relationship to the music and was able hear subsequent records coming out like: Still Life Talking, Letter From Home, Secret Story, We Live Here, Speaking of now etc. and then going to see the shows when the concerts came into ATX. I am so Grateful for this Music

      @@cozmicpfunk I was able to see PM a few years ago here in my adopted hometown of Dallas, around the time of his Unity Band, it was absolutely fantastic! The interplay, the intensity, the sheer joy that they had on stage, at some point after playing 3 or 4 themes, Pat tells the audience “uh, I am supposed to tell you the names of the songs, but we’re having so much fun here that we rather play “… 😀
      And I loved the Rick Beato interview, especially when PM says “well, compared to Bach, we all suck 😂”

    I have listened to this so many times over the decades and it still can bring me to tears - especially as I see your appropriate emotional reactions. I read that the closing piano solo section is completely improvised - Lyle Mays is not improving over a chord structure, but doing what he called "compositional improvisation" and in the session Pat was visually indicating to him to keep going farther with the ideas that draw on the various melodies that have come before, while Pat listened for the best time to come back in and close things out with that beautiful melody on the guitar.

    Metheny was an incredible bridge for me coming from Joni… and he took me through many phases as he, of course, went through them.
    All of the great collabs he did, all of the dazzling musicians he invited to create music…. Just broadened my horizons and made me investigate older jazz artists.
    Unfortunately only saw him once about 25 years ago… and I swear I hallucinated during that show, the music brought a deluge of images and color to me… and I wasn’t even doing drugs!

    I became an instant, lifelong Rush fan when a friend played 2112 for me in 1980. But I became a Pat Metheny fan in 1979 when PMG dropped their second album, American Garage. I was only 12 and had no idea who Pat was. My mom had exposed me mostly to the classic rock of the 60's and 70s, and also some jazzy stuff like George Benson. As a native Angeleno kid I listened to the local rock radio stations, KMET and KLOS. No Metheny there! But my mom acquired American Garage and played the hell out of it (thankfully!) I've seen Pat numerous times in concert over the decades, many of them with my mom.
    I am a big fan of many guitarists such as Wes, Jim Hall, Mahavishnu, Allan Holdsworth, Strunz & Farah, Shawn Lane, Alex Lifeson, Vernon Reid, Randy Rhoads, SRV, EJ, Satch, Mike Stern, Steve Morse, John Pettrucci, Vai, Molly Tuttle, Tommy Emmanuel, Matteo Mancuso, Mateus Asato, Tosin Abasi...The list goes on.
    But...Pat is my all time favorite guitarist. Hands down. As much as I love Allan Holdsworth and Mike Stern, it's still really not even close.
    My mom passed away almost 5 years ago. But I'm forever grateful for the gift she gave me by relentlessly spinning American Garage on her turntable, 45 years ago. That opened the door for me to become a serious jazz fan by the time I started college. And it was not long before I discovered "As Falls Wichita...". That album and "New Chautauqua" especially captured my imagination early on and still move me deep inside to this day.
    "September 15" is a perfect Metheny/Mays composition - as clear an expression of the magic between them as you'll ever hear. The intro is simple and spare but there's so much intricate movement with all the chord changes. And when they slip into the main theme in 6/8 it's light and joyous, like two best friends running together through a meadow of wildflowers in Spring. And look at the way Pat effortlessly slips back to single note improv as Lyle begins his solo. As for that solo...Lyle played the piano as if he was conducting an entire orchestra, revisiting thematic elements, layering in flowing chord structures, rising and cascading, breaking down to single piercing notes. That dude was otherworldly. Rick Beato has a 15 min YT video dedicated to this song, well worth the watch.
    Thanks for this great video.

    NicknLex,
    Love your channel. I was just notified of your new PM & LM September 15th review and I immediately watched it. I don’t know if you read many of the comments you recieve, but in this case I thought I’d at least give it a shot as I am CERTAIN you’ll enjoy it.
    I have told my wife that if I am lying in bed with only 8:14 left to live I’d not only like to spend it listening to this song, but the LIVE version I am providing a link to immediately below.
    Not only do you get to watch Pat and Lyle perform it, but Lyles solo is expanded over the version you just reviewed.
    Then, Rick Beato, (whose channel I can’t imagine you're not aware of), recently released a segment on his feelings for this tune. As usual, he goes into detail as to why. I am sure you’ll enjoy watching this as well.
    Finally, I am attaching a link to another LIVE ballad of their’s which, (A Map of The World), if it’s not "as good” as September 15th, it’s a close second. I am sure you’ll enjoy it as well.

    Lyle Mays had the biggest damn hands on that keyboard - he is a great player - saw them from the first row balcony in Austin and could look over his shoulder at his hands moving - I am pretty sure Lyle was playing with the One O'Clock Lab Band at University of North Texas when I graduated high school in 1973

    Wow. Never thought I’d see a reaction to this album. This was my only Pat Metheny album but it went directly to my spirit and soul. Just one of those albums. I will have to go relisten to the whole thing now.

    You guys should definitely watch the movie Fandango if you haven't seen it, particularly the last 5-10 minutes of the film, where this tune and the subsequent one on Metheny's album, "It's For You" make for the most beautiful and moving cinematic accompaniment to the film story that I've ever seen in my life. You want to talk about tears being shed! Been listening to this album for over 40 years now, it never gets old or tiresome.

    Not sure if it's Pat or Lyle - ? To me that's part of the beauty of this whole piece, because they sometimes play in unison and then move apart and then come together again, and I think it's also a testament to Manfred Eicher's production that the piano and nylon-string guitar are so amazingly blended that it's possible to ask the question. Guys, for my money, the title track is good in parts - there's some plodding to get through - so do check out It's For You and Ozark, which are both wonderful.

      Oh! The title track is a phenomenally masterpiece. Way up there with Awaken, Piano Concerto Number One (ELP), Echos, Close To The Edge, and Karn Evil 9.

    Oh, God....this song... Oh wow. This song breaks me. I have deep, deep, hard memories related to this song, and to this album. I was turned on to this album by my girlfriend, at the time (just after the album came out. In fact, she turned me on to Pat Metheny, so I guess I have to thank her for that), and she ended up breaking my heart (not the last time that would happen). So this song hurts but it is just so beautiful. Thank you, Lyle Mays, for the gorgeous piano work. Thank you for reacting to this. This album lives in my soul.

    Have listened to a lot of Metheny/Mays since I first heard Last Train Home (brilliant feel throughout that track). However my favourite Metheny and Mays album isn’t even by them! Bob Curnow recorded an album of Big Band arrangements of the music of Metheny and Mays, it shouldn’t work surely a Big Band can’t handle the subtlety and ethereal sound world necessary to successfully interpret this music but I guarantee you once you’ve heard the Dream of the return or First Circle you’ll be sold on both the concept and it’s realisation. A beautiful album and expertly crafted by a musician with a full understanding of what M & M were all about.

It's a fantastic track from an outstanding album, so I highly recommend you try it. Here is the link to the studio version, which is where you need to start.

    Hi there lovers, been awhile.I went to Less Summit high school with Pat.I graduated in 1968, Pat graduated in 1972. We knew each other from orchestra. He lives in New York now. He used to come back to visit his parents be for they passed. I said hey a couple of times. He was always cordial but I don't think he remembered me. I think his younger brother Mike still lives out here somewhere. I think one time I mentioned he did an amazing interview with Rick Beato, check it out if you haven't already. Lex, been thinking about your back. Hope you're doing well....Hey Nick, you cut your hair why'd you do that man?!....love you two

      Alright, I'm confused. In this reaction you clearly have shorter hair. Then I watched a newer video where your hair mysteriously reappeared. Are you guys screwing with the date and time stamps? Yea I noticed. Need some explanation!!
