Steve, Pat, and Sco were at Berklee when I was there. Steve was the nicest guy you could ever meet. Pat practiced all the time. I played in a few ensemble bands with Sco. He was good, but over the course of three years he turned into a monster player. Gee, practice really does pay off.
thanks--ya, i've seen some pretty disingenuous stuff at certain blues jams i was at, were a guy will complain he can't pull something off, but tell you it's 'just for fun' when you suggest some practice routine to help.

The level of mutual respect and enjoyment from Sco and Pat towards each other is infectious and a lesson for musicians. And Bill and Steve in the background are like old friends supporting them. I have seen less cohesion from old bands like The Rolling Stones.

John Scofield is an interesting player. I saw him at the 1986 JVC Jazz Festival in Newport RI as part of a multi lineup. Always mixing angular and dissonant lyricism with blues and funk. I'm sure he plays a lot of whole tone and diminished scales and loves to obscure the underlying harmonies with departure after departure. A great introduction to him is to check out Jaco Pastorius, Kendwood Dennard and John Scofield playing the Jaco blues, "The Chicken" on a 1985 instructional video for aspiring bassists. Jaco sounds the most adherent to melody and harmony! I've always loved Pat Metheny and saw him live in Lowell MA 1989. He's fully capable of playing angular and outside like Scofield. Song X with Ornette Coleman. I would like to listen to more Scofield and decide how much I like him. I like him and what I hear. It's an acquired taste- active listening. Listening to the Chicken with Jaco is a great place to start.
I first heard of pat metheny in the early 80s ( i was barely 20) they would play him on the jazz stations all the time and I thought he was some old jazz dude.. then I bought "bright size life" and was hooked. I bought "I can see your house from here" in 98, and I played that CD incessantly..that's what introduced me to Scofield. This band is top notch. Thnk you for the upload.
I was lucky enough to see two shows....simply the best thing you can imagine.... The most superb rhythm section....supporting the greatest improvising guitar players ever...ever... Pat and Sco....guitar heaven...!!! Technically I could go on forever....but just enjoy.....The Best!!!
La Fiesta de Todos... Bill Stewart batería, Steve Swallow bajo, Pat Metheny guitarra y John Scofield guitarra... Lo dijo eo gran Pat: "Sco es el hombre"...🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶👁️🌅
Love Sco...even in the quiet moments you feel the menace coming when he takes the dog of the leash (e.g. 3;59 and then the low notes at 4;02 are totally sick!)
Fantastic groove. Like it it should be as live...way better than the studio version. Probably the best Metheny solo ever. And everybody shines....yeah like crazy diamonds!
Not sure Bill Stewart gets the recognition he deserves. He's got impeccable tone, and plays with such precision, groove, and musicality. You can tell it's him playing within a few bars.
You get any bass player and 10 times out of 10 they would add so much to this bass line adding their own sauce to it etc how boringgg Here we have the master SS showing everybody how it’s done not moving or missing a beat of that bass line for 14 min straight how insane is that??? The genius of keeping that beautifully simple bass line the same the whole time is just the best life has to offer it becomes a prayer a mantra in itself when you take into consideration all the madness metheny, sco and bill are adding on top, how did he not miss a note with all that insanity going on??? Only 5 notes for 15 min fuck! What a concept haha thank you master Steve Swallow 😭🙏🏽
two guitar-master together ! incredible ! wonderful piece and solos ! but also fantastic solo on drum by Bill Stewart while Steve Swallow is able to play ostinato bass line !!!! Steve's ability in timing is really surprising while Bill is going on playing a lot of different polyrhytmic bar on his drum !!! high live performance , for sure !
jesus! a great performance overall. bill steward got my special attention. great solo, smooth, effortless, tastefully, diversified, rich; what a thrill with that persistant ostinato. makes my day!
I can't decide whether Steve Swallow's tone is the best thing since sliced bread, or going to make me throw up in my mouth...probably both. But it is *perfect* for this tune.
Steve Swallow is a tank. 14 mins playing 5 notes
He is a bassist. One of te bests.
the real deal!| Master!
Yes and how he played that's notes...
If I only had to make it through the intro, I believe it wouldn’t happen lol
Someone... go make sure he's okay
SCOFIELD'S SOLO IS A MASTERPIECE.
Sco is from another planet. His melodic ideas are so original and out there.
@@wigstretch YES

ever see Jaco up there hanging out when he was in town?
Steve, Pat, and Sco did not go to Berkeley. They went to Berklee.
@@tgrimes175 Just a difference of one coast from the other. 😋
@@tgrimes175 Jimi Played Berkeley
If you're here looking for Steve Swallow not missing a single beat in a 15 minutes song,well you came to the right video
Grateful
As my daughter used to say when she was about 3 years old, Goodness gooscious!
This is so good. Wish I could have seen this live.
I absolutely LOVE Bill Stewart. One of the most melodic drummers ever. Fantastic.
This is the kind of indulgent stuff you play when you're famous.
The drumming was great.
If you turned the sound down when Sco is soloing, you'd swear he was getting stung by hornets....lol....what a beast...love him.
Never go toe to toe with a shoulder pad man.
I trust Pat learned his lesson.
Sco Pads!
Personally, my favorite two guitarist. However, the rhythm section stands out as the masterpiece.
Bill Frissell would fit right in, just like Bass Desires.
Questi 2 spaccano ancora e per sempre di brutto!
Uno delle jam migliori di sempre

@@skineyemin4276 He should have stuck with the trumpet. Or maybe became a roofer. Or a plumber.
@@danielholtxxl4936 Yeah, then maybe he would've become even more successful in life and not put out some many albums.

Anyone else notice how they each came in with their own time feel and then instantly matched each other on the next breath? No ego, all music!
***** without ego there can be no music because without ego there is no conciousness.

You can understand Metheny.
You cannot see where Sco goes.
Choose your aesthetic.
yep.... Metheny is consensual, Sco express his subjectivity, which materialises through feel and explorations of sonor langage
Metheny solo is one of the greatest electric guitar solo ever! Sick!
Synth
@@dancochrane5577 Roland
I agree. Sick. Like diarrhea.
WOW I LOVE SCOFEILD SOLO. WOW
Los mejores guitarristas dl mundo. So different so alike great!
Same same but différents
The trumpet effect on Pat's guitar is awesome!
There's no piece of music I'd rather have stuck in my head. And this one sticks like crazy glue.
well hi there "muSiC LOver"🤯
This shit is murder for my anxiety disorder.
I keep waiting for them to start the tune!!!!!
Cette merde est un véritable chef-d'œuvre...
There is no tune. Just noise.
Two masters of the outside. This track should be on the golden cd flying to the stars

If this is a party, Swallow is the DD playing those same notes for 14 minutes straight for everyone to riff over!
Hahaha ..nicely put!
In ieder geval erg knap!!
The only chord changes happen at 1:22 & 13:04, otherwise ostinanato , except for the ending. Great party. 🖒🤘
You'd be surprised at how few musicians can what appears to be that simple.
No competition for me here ; two pots of gold, twice the value !
FUSION HEAVEN!!!!!
Really miss Steve Swallow; he and Bill were such a great rhythm section!
Extraordinaire... quelle complémentarité !
We're well in the nineties !! Thank you to those great great 4 jazzmen
I was lucky enough to see two shows....simply the best thing you can imagine....
The most superb rhythm section....supporting the greatest improvising guitar players ever...ever...
Pat and Sco....guitar heaven...!!! Technically I could go on forever....but just enjoy.....The Best!!!
I watch this everyday! :))
A year ago I was here; an anniversary worth listening.
John is extra extra extra ordinary!!!
Superbé Pat and John also backline Steve and Bill, great music from another planet :)
10:30 reminding me of edgar winter frankenstein
Scofield is just sick wit h it.
Pat’s solo beginning is so big… One of the biggest

30 now
Fantastic groove. Like it it should be as live...way better than the studio version. Probably the best Metheny solo ever. And everybody shines....yeah like crazy diamonds!
Steve Swallow is Amazing!!!
Bill Stewart looks so clean and neatly groomed!
I noticed, too. He should let it grow. Be a mop top.
He traded in his sideburns for drum stix 🥁
To see Sco standing there, then Swallow; and then to notice Pat Mwtheny's there too... wow
Masters
Brilliant all around. I feel like a dunce for never having envisioned what a great match Pat and John would be!
PAT!!! 🤩
Not sure Bill Stewart gets the recognition he deserves. He's got impeccable tone, and plays with such precision, groove, and musicality. You can tell it's him playing within a few bars.
Every solo is delicious.
When did Simon and Garfunkel record a guitar battle concert??? Looooove it. Pat and Sco.
Incredible crazy-psychedelic solo from Pat!! at 8:25 I almost fell of the chair! :-D
I love the tones of the distorted guitar violin sounding thing that Pat Metheny uses sometimes
guitar synth
I was There :-)
A classic on youtube

Those tones are wild
Remeber this footage when came out in late 1994 . I ve recorded video on VHS tape and played it all along... a nd again... and again. Fantastic.

Excelent guitarist
Outstanding.
That is good music
This tune is badass!
I can count on one hand, other guitar players that can dig so deep harmonically and rhythmically at the same time.
Metheny comes in on his solo so sinister 😭🙌🏽
That riff at 7:52. Wow
An absolute “stone” groove...
wow, wow, wow! The studio version is great - yet this one is just superb!
Two Giants on gtr and my favourite drummer!
Thus my first time hearing this, amazing that's all I can say. Thank you to whoever posted this
Thanks for listening
I listened to Swallow even on the solos
Blown. Away.... Love it!!
When the play the melody choruses, there is a break section where the bass line does change, lol. Yeah, this is awesome!!!
Sco is out of the ordinary and his tone is unachiavable
Divine!
Killer Pat Metheny at high gain!
John Scofield... One of the most exciting guitar explorers I'v ever heard, with Jimi Hendrix
Pat's talent is limitless.
Talent? Noise is talent?
MASTERS!! BRAVO!
Puh! Cool!
Bill Stewart is like a cross between Bernard Purdie and Elvin Jones.
And a little Dolph Lundgren around the eyes.
That's a very good observation. Everything he plays is funky.
And a slice of Jack DeJohnette
Wow!❤
Legends!!
It's excellent stuff really, isn't it.
Swallow=designated bass driver.
Que turma da pesada. Amei!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Steve al basso è un metronomo 😮.
Damn!!
Double scale for Steve Swallow!
😁✌️👑
superb gangup!
i was so bummed they didn't tour the u.s. for this album
Steve Swallow, cool legend
Sco, the sickest jazz guitarist drug cartel
I was waiting for Steve's solo
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
