i was about 16 at the release of this album ,...my brother brought it home and i wore it out on both sides...still number one in my collection ..a special thanks to Danny g for the drumming influence...,
I remember seeing this 'original' PMG at the Rusty Nail in Sunderland MA in 1977. Maybe 50 people in attendance, but we all knew afterwards that Pat was the very, very, real deal.
Yeah!…they most certainly are and were the epitome of 20th century jazz fusion…a living jazz, not just modern jazz…and certainly not ‘elevator music’… but rather, jazz that retains both a classic form, (in its’ improvisational style, thus avoiding a tendency toward monotonously unenlightened, genre-trapped, repetitive, improv guitar/piano ‘licks’) and its’ traditional blues bound chordal structures and progressions, while adopting/ incorporating non-jazz ‘like’ counter rhythms and extended compositional forms, drawn from other cultures, resulting in a more complex, and satisfying listening experience! This… the genius of, such unparalleled, innovative compositional beauty,is provided by, Lyle Mays. A combination of Classical structures, with highly sophisticated chord and tonal progression! Thank you Lyle for contributing to the texture of music on this planet…Your vision is inspiring, I listen, and try to incorporate such tonal and rhythmic awareness! Thank you for seeing more than the rest of us!
Man, that incredible dynamic range in that song is killer. I had the privilege of seeing them in 1978 (SUNY@Binghamton), sitting in the front row, directly in front of Pat's guitar stand. From the first distinctive notes of Phase Dance, to its dramatic halt ending, I was hooked. I'incrediblemusicians over the years, but none surpass either Mays nor
It's frustrating dealing with computer glitches. I tried to say, I've seen some incredible musicians over the years, but none surpass Mays or Metheny. They were truly a force of nature...
Thank you for posting. If you knew the Island of Hawaii in 1979, you probably know beach 69. I was backed up at waters edge in my vw van listening to KGU in Honolulu. This came on. Changed my life!
This his best band .yes the very 1st .pa turned me onto this played on his wurlitzer .me zep elp.etc .but many other r great.b 65 soon pa gone since 1996.still hav orig vinly
Despite the lack of stereo sound, there is something genuine in how it sounds here. The music of the 1970s, in general, was the best, when the art was not done purely for money and status. The whole scene and setup in the video is magical. The song is a work of art.
I have been a fan of Pat and Lyle and the PMG since I first heard San Lorenzo gently echoing all over a loft apartment I had in 1980. This music has become the soundtrack of my life. Have seen them many times since then. Best one...Secret Story tour in 1993 in Boston.
irst heard this song in 1978. Couldn't believe my ears how fantastic this mysterious , hauntingly beautiful piano. God rest your souls Lyle ; truly a musical genius ; one of the true creative masters .
Well now, you have more access to beautiful music for the price of a cell phone; the key is discernment, which there may have been slightly more of in the good old days. Who knows?
Thanks for posting this. It's been awhile since I first saw this. I don't think any music like this ever existed before Pat and Lyle and Dan came out with this sort of elegant revolving type of songs. I don't know any other way of describing it.
@@dgmquito comparto contigo, lejos la mejor agrupación que tuvo Metheny. Y aquí la dupla Metheny - Mays, se lleva los aplausos, pero Mark y Dan, son dos maravilloso músicos, poco reconocidos.
The kid can play alright
Omg! So talented at such young ages. I was only 10 in 77 when they were getting started. I didn't discover them until 1989. Wow!
Danny and Mark too!
I kinda need that shirt now. Really do.
Pure Genius
I did a bass cover of this ua-cam.com/video/lp67gXY5hTg/v-deo.html
Let's just take a second to appreciate Mark Egan's bass playing, especially from 6:49 until the end
This guy is unstoppable
Album ?
pat is naaaasssssshhhhhhtyyyyy wit it
Pat sei stato grande anche nel capire in anticipo che con questa ritmica (basso e batteria) il sound del PMG non avrebbe fatto molta strada...

🌸🌱😀💙
Is that Steve Jobs in the back row sitting on a pile of cash

Absolute legends -- Immortalized!

Enjoy
Metheny and Mays...there may never be a more magical combination

Forgotten how I much I loved this band!
Rest in peace Lyle
This video is the best ive seen in many many days. Guitarist are many times boring, but this one is magical. Love the bassist, sounds like Jaco style.
Pat from the beginning with his own sound... RIP Lyle Mays

:-)
just heard about Lyle Mays ,RIP,,love this group, a real inspiration,awesome stuff!!!
RIP Lyle Mays.
Anyone have details on the location/date of this recording?
Lyle is a software manager now. Why doesn’t he continue to tour this magic.
RIP, dear Lyle 2/10/20
astrodad65 very sad. Big loss to the music world and only 66 years old. His music will live on. RIP Lyle
astrodad65 2020 is really horrible!
1977 -78. No internet. Just beautiful Music.

Do not forget Mark Egan's contribution to the rhythmic section...
Tremendo, que temazo en una gran época de Pat y los muchachos.
La mejor formación que tuvo
@@dgmquito comparto contigo, lejos la mejor agrupación que tuvo Metheny. Y aquí la dupla Metheny - Mays, se lleva los aplausos, pero Mark y Dan, son dos maravilloso músicos, poco reconocidos.
That is exactly the way I remember seeing the band in '78, in Portland!
9 people are fucking deaf...too bad for them.
Lyle ❤️
RIP. So sad.
Honestly I can see that Pat’s solo was not as good as his 85-90s or later years. But Lyle was always as good as it can be. Mind blowing.
8 minutes guys!!...intense!!...
Signature song!!...
Lyle was clearly a driving force for Metheny!!...
Fresh out of Berkley!!...
I'm sure you meant Berklee College Of Music in Boston. www.berklee.edu
