ive made mistakes in life,but listening to this today was no mistake.I feel like i was sent here this very moment to think about my past mistakes and put them to rest.
I was gonna say, "50 years? You're crazy!" But, damn you are right. Wow, how time flies. I first discovered PMG in the early 80s when I lived in Miami. Every Sunday morning on radio station Love 94, it was jazz just like this. I would put in a fresh cassette tape (remember those) to record something to listen to all week until the following Sunday. Peace to you brother! Keep listening!

I am so blessed to have seen this performed live right after it came out at a small university coffee house with my girlfriend at the time. We were seated 2nd row center, about 8 feet from Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays in a venue that seated about 250 people. This song was their opener. An unforgetable experience! I can see it in my mind today at 67.
AS YOUNG MAN HEART BROKEN, IVE CRIED MANY TEARS TO THIS SONG, AS A MAN LIVING LIFE, ITS THE PERFECT MUSIC TO LIVE LIFE, ITS REALLY SPECIAL TO ALOT OF PEOPLE, TO ALL OF YOU, WHO KNOW
I remember in 1978. I got the album ECM records listening to it on my concept turntable with about $4000 worth of stereo equipment.Tile floor and wood paneling. The acoustics were totally amazing never to be duplicated again definitely one of my favorite song of all times. 😢
Hi Larry, Somehow, my older brother was introduced to Pat Metheny in the mid 70's. To this day, when I hear this intricate, smooth, and exquisitely beautiful song, I think of my youth. Higgins Lake, Traverse City, and the rural back roads of Michigan! You're right, it's a great feeling!
I heard this for the first time when I was having dinner at Jumbo's drive-in restaurant in mid-1978 after completing an experiment in the RF lab. It may have been on Jazz Album Countdown. Every time I hear it I see picnic tables and fluorescent lights, and I smell steamed rice and charbroiled ribeye. It would be nearly 20 years later that I would meet the woman I married. I wish she had been there with me.
I was born in 59, and raised on rock and roll,and hung around mainly with my older brothers friends. One day in the late 70's, a friend of ours brought over the album I will never forget. Yes it was this one... San Lorenzo,Phase Dance,etc. I played this album over and over, I couldn't get enough of it. I owe my thanks to Pat and Lyle to this day! I love jazz because of them...I have all their music on remastered C.D.'s of course... They play with other talented musicians...Wow,I love them all...
Ditto, essentially. Except that I'd already heard --- I'm a 1952 baby --- "Misty" by Erroll Garner Trio, probably on the family radio. Then, a few years later, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by Cannonball Adderley (composer, Joe Zawinul); and a few years after THAT the explosive "Nubian Sundance" (Zawinul again) by Weather Report. I was READY for the gorgeous drive-up-the-coast-with-the-top-down masterpiece that is "San Lorenzo".
Around 1980, I was 17, and had never been to any concerts. My brother was into Pat and had me come along with some other friends. I had no idea what to expect, nor did I expect anything. Pat opened with this song, and my brain exploded. I was mesmerized. Today, at almost 62, I think he is the best. Nobody does what he does.
First heard his music on WJZZ radio in Detroit, MI. Rosetta Hines brought me to jazz and Pat Metheny Group. Been a follower ever since. Sad that we lost Lyle but his music and influence lives on.
I loved this song so much when I heard it on wjzz but didn't know who did it called the radio station ..Herman Haynes, dj told me! I was so excited to find out. Still love it in 2925
Pat Metheny Group Won Grammys back in the late 80's for best Jazz album ! Jazz is the only musical genre that describes PMG's music ! Anyone that would call this anything less than Jazz obviously doesn't know or understand music 🎵🎶🎶🎵
This song played in the very 1st car I ever owned ! A Triumph TR7 ! A young black male kid in my junior year of college ! Beautiful car ! Beautiful girlfriend , beautiful music ! Thank You GOD ! 🎉 ❤ I'M GRATEFUL ! 🎉 ❤
My Puerto Rican neighbors has a tag sitting on the dashboard of his car that reads San Lorenzo and it immediately made me think of this song ! I 1st heard this in the summer of 1978 ( What an innocent time compared to now) So here I am in 2024 recapturing the beauty and joy of this song ! This song brings nostalgia , innocence ,❤ and joy ! GOD BLESS ALL Pat Metheny Group lovers ! Smooth Jazz for life 🎉 ❤
This music connects strongly with so many people. I like that so many folks describe "the first time I heard it." They remember just where they were! It was over 40 years ago but I can remember clear as a bell walking down a common hallway in college and a guy was sitting at a table with the record playing and selling tickets to their concert that night. Wow...that unique, new, positive sound! I bought a ticket to the show and the rest was history. They made transporting, incredible music. Lyle was a major loss.
SAME HERE!!!! I loved this album, but lost track of Pat Metheny. I think this whole sound was closely linked to the light and easy 70's sound. It was where the California sound was going and then suddenly in the 80's music took a completely different turn.
I was 18 when I first heard Pat Metheny Group, in an instant Pat and Lyle's dynamic duo was my favorite. I will be 53 next week and they still give me goose bumps when I listen to their tunes. More Power.
These guys were still pretty young here, and it amazes me how they could write, arrange and perform a piece like this and make it sound effortless. WOW!
I whole heartedly agree with you all that this song is as if "Angels are singing to us all"- God bless whom ever came up with this song in there heart to share with US ALL...😘🥰😂
Thank you something real I'm 67 and I wish there was a way to tell him how much his music meant to me My wife never heard of him but when I played some of his music she was amazed as I was when I first heard him anyway sending good love vibes out to you and to him 🙏💖💖💖💖🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 I almost forgot to add that she took me on a cruise for my 50th birthday and some of those scenes are almost exactly where we were think it was St Thomas or St Martin but it was a once in a lifetime experience she gave to me
someone likes it, someone doesn't. World is the sum of the parts. I think is absolutely pointless to use the thumb down: if you don't like stop listening and we are all in peaceful life. Beautiful decision stop to show the counter about dislike.
Yes- most of us here are mid 60's now....and yes I was in my late teens discovering this beautiful song and music- still today I am a BIG Pat M fan !! And yes I now recognize the influence of Lyle Mays a lot in my piano playing of today....
I am floating , at 40 000 ft , flaps and gears extended , throttle levers in the pocket , both airspeed indicators in the coma , close to the stall speed , but this music is my paradise !!
This song brought up in me how I want to feel on this hot Sunday here in June 2024 in upstate SC . ❤ It ! Been a huge fan since college of 1978 ! Music today is TRASH ! These guys were and are some of the COOLEST White guys on the Planet ! My hat's Off to you my dear , Jazz brothers ! 🎉 ❤
I first heard this song back in 1977 on WHCN in Hartford, CT. I had already known of Pat Metheny from his days at Berklee School of Music (now Berklee College). He was definitely on to something great with his music. He and Lyle Mays have written so many great songs. This song is so serene and uplifting at the same time.
My day dad taped the entire album on eight track. I hauled that monster on the "E " train going to central park, making sure that every lucky soul on the same train car as me listened to that album. No one minded , either.
I first heard this on my honeymoon in Hawaii in 1979. I was on Maui driving a rented Toyota with a broken radio antenna from Lahaina back to our resort. Trying to stay awake, I searched for something on the radio and landed on this song - the only thing the radio would pick up. A full moon and the ocean on my left, sugar cane fields and mountains on my right-it seemed like the stars were talking to me through the radio. My first exposure to jazz and to Pat Metheny and still a favorite today.
As I recall, I started listening to the Pat Metheny Group in 1985. Around the time "The Falcon & The Snowman" came out. I have a very good friend that I attended DeVry Tech with in Phoenix in the 70's and he'd already been listening to him. He turned me on to "First Circle", "Travels" and "Offramp". I've been HOOKED since then. I've seen the group in concert 5 times and once I went to Oahu to work and listened to "The Way Up Pt.1-4" during a rainstorm. OMG.
Bret Willmott and I were fortunate to know from friends that had been at Coral Gables Pat was coming to Berklee when I was 22. I was there at the time just starting school in an excellerated 1-2 (2 semesters at once, finished 4 semesters in one school year). No one knew who this kid with the big smile and incredible talent was. I asked to be the bass player in a guitar ensemble he was teaching. I am so incredibly lucky to say I played with Pat for that whole semester and do another class he taught. That ensemble was where he brought in a series of exercises that were to become tunes on many of his early albums. I am 67 and he still brings forth the same joy as he did back then. At the time I discerned a very midwest sound to his tunes. To this day I hear that influence, his roots. I love this man and his music. He shaped the player I am today. He was to jazz what the Beatles were to pop music. A new sound for a new generation of musicians that held in respect the roots of their music. David Sahadi
Me Too! WRVR was the best jazz radio station on the planet....you would hear Pat Metheny group, and Count Basie, Ellington, Mangione, ALL jazz...new and old, with knowledgeable DJays. I really miss that station....just seeing the call letters brought back memories of my life in NYC. Yes, the '70's were great...for jazz especially, and music generally
In 1989 I drove with my crew from Moron AB near Seville, Spain to Torremolinos on the Costa Del Sol. It was a sunny Friday morning and I was listening to San Lorenzo on my Sony Walkman. As we neared the coast our route took us through the hills above town. The hillsides were dotted with white, stucco homes sporting terracotta roofs. As we reached the top of one of the hills I looked out and there in the distance was the big, blue Mediterranean Sea. The picture is etched forever in my memory and it's what I think of every time I hear this great work by Pat Metheny.
His music puts me in a place that is hard to describe, but it feels like a safe place, a beautiful place and perhaps more significantly a place of inalterable PEACE!
Metheny is such a relaxing breath of fresh air. We have lost Charlie and Toots, but the Great Pat metheny just keeps on playing works of art and therapies for the soul. PRAISE THE GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY FOR PAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a life altering experience!! This is the first Part Metheny song and LP I ever heard. Beautiful. Intellectual yet childlike. Uplifting and inspiring. Thank you Lyle Mays for you musical genius and Kenny Hylton, Jr for introducing this to me!!
Where I discovered who and what I thought were the absolute coolest white dudes in the world, Pat Metheny and the late great Lyle Mayes may he forever rest in the same beautiful peace his keys brought to my soul . ❤❤Real Talk! This cut is were I forever became a Jazz Fusion fan. Love me some Pat Metheny Group!❤❤
I believe this was the first Pat Metheny song I ever heard and I have been hooked on his music since then. Wow that was 1978!! Almost 46 years ago! For some reason I associate it with skiing, the beauty of an untouched blanket of snow, clean, crisp and pure. Thanks Pat, for filling my life with your wonderful music!
Pat Metheny is a genius and a blessing to the music world loved listening to him yesterday today and the tomorrows of my life God Bless you Pat Metheny Diane Wills
It has always been my ardent dream, and my brother's, that Pat would one day visit Manila so we can watch him live for the first and probably the last time. Can't count the times I dreamed of meeting him and his band in person. Still in my bucket list.

Back in 1978 , radio station WRVR , in NYC turned me on to The Pat Metheny Group and I have been a fan of their music ever since. San Lorenzo open the foodgates for me and that flow continues to this day.
It's a shame that people don't listen to this today like we did in the 80's with GREAT BIG STERIO COMPONENTS and a/d/s SPEAKERS, played LOUD. I still get CHILLS !!
BRILLIANT composition! First heard it on the radio by chance in 1978.I was all alone in the afternoon and a thunderstorm was raging. I just stared out the window and listened in total awe.
Funny, I also clearly remember first hearing this ... might have been 15 - 16 yrs old, and knew this was really something special. All these yrs later... thank you for posting.
San Lorenzo es para mí uno de los mejores temas de Pat Metheny Group. Los teclados suenan geniales.....Vamos Pat debes volver a realizar música con Lyle Mays.
My go to song...takes me to another level of existence...floating and free. Thank you Pat.
I was an intern at a jazz radio station when I first heard this selection. I thought it was the most beautiful music I had ever heard.
ive made mistakes in life,but listening to this today was no mistake.I feel like i was sent here this very moment to think about my past mistakes and put them to rest.
This is nearly 50 years old. But it will never be surpassed. Some of the best stuff ever written. Listen up kids.
sadly, almost all don't get it.
These were men with talent on loan from God.
I was gonna say, "50 years? You're crazy!" But, damn you are right. Wow, how time flies. I first discovered PMG in the early 80s when I lived in Miami. Every Sunday morning on radio station Love 94, it was jazz just like this. I would put in a fresh cassette tape (remember those) to record something to listen to all week until the following Sunday. Peace to you brother! Keep listening!
@@jazzer770 There is a great little Australian jazz ensemble which is bringing the younger generations into the world of jazz through brilliant jazz covers - in a variety of jazz styles - of video games music (vgm).

Amen 🎉 ❤
I am so blessed to have seen this performed live right after it came out at a small university coffee house with my girlfriend at the time.

AS YOUNG MAN HEART BROKEN, IVE CRIED MANY TEARS TO THIS SONG, AS A MAN LIVING LIFE, ITS THE PERFECT MUSIC TO LIVE LIFE, ITS REALLY SPECIAL TO ALOT OF PEOPLE, TO ALL OF YOU, WHO KNOW
71, and it's resonating happy times in 19 f-ing 82. Joy AND sadness for what wasn't.
Listened to this as a 22 year old overlooking Lake Huron at night with thunder storms and lightning approaching the shore line. What a feeling at 67.
Beautiful memories 💜
I remember in 1978. I got the album ECM records listening to it on my concept turntable with about $4000 worth of stereo equipment.Tile floor and wood paneling. The acoustics were totally amazing never to be duplicated again definitely one of my favorite song of all times. 😢
Hi Larry,
Somehow, my older brother was introduced to Pat Metheny in the mid 70's. To this day, when I hear this intricate, smooth, and exquisitely beautiful song, I think of my youth. Higgins Lake, Traverse City, and the rural back roads of Michigan! You're right, it's a great feeling!
Sweet brother.
Love it. I grew up in Port Huron, Mi. so I can relate brother
I heard this for the first time when I was having dinner at Jumbo's drive-in restaurant in mid-1978 after completing an experiment in the RF lab. It may have been on Jazz Album Countdown. Every time I hear it I see picnic tables and fluorescent lights, and I smell steamed rice and charbroiled ribeye. It would be nearly 20 years later that I would meet the woman I married. I wish she had been there with me.
Aah ! Beautiful memories ! 🎉 ❤ God Bless ! 🎉 ❤
this is music relaxing intellectual musician musician oh yeah
I was born in 59, and raised on rock and roll,and hung around mainly with my older brothers friends. One day in the late 70's, a friend of ours brought over the album I will never forget.

I think Pat was gateway drug for many rockers to get into jazz. I was one. 😁
c'est le propre des chefs d'oeuvres, inusables même après des milliers d'écoutes
Ditto, essentially. Except that I'd already heard --- I'm a 1952 baby --- "Misty" by Erroll Garner Trio, probably on the family radio. Then, a few years later, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by Cannonball Adderley (composer, Joe Zawinul); and a few years after THAT the explosive "Nubian Sundance" (Zawinul again) by Weather Report.

The most epic piano solo of all time RIP Lyle I will take this solo to my grave bravo

We've been soul mates for 55 years. Sheer brilliance.
I’m 69 I’ve loved Pat and Lyle for a long time. RIP brother
I'm 80 years old and stll listening to this music
Pat Metheny Group Won Grammys back in the late 80's for best Jazz album ! Jazz is the only musical genre that describes PMG's music ! Anyone that would call this anything less than Jazz obviously doesn't know or understand music 🎵🎶🎶🎵

Lyle's solo never fails to bring tears to eyes
for real. This kind of music makes me cry too. The relationships......
'Cause it's timeless!!
Wish I had heard this song, years before now, but I'm glad I found it and listen to it a lot.
Great solo by Lyle Mays! Pat Metheny's guitar harmonies and harmonics are sublime. The bass and percussion are great too!
The late keyboardist Lyle Mays at his mind-blowing best. And me being a drummer, I live in Dan Gotlieb's head as he jammed here.
Pat plays like an angel and in this tune Lyle takes a fantastic solo
I am 62 and love this song
My Puerto Rican neighbors has a tag sitting on the dashboard of his car that reads San Lorenzo and it immediately made me think of this song ! I 1st heard this in the summer of 1978 ( What an innocent time compared to now) So here I am in 2024 recapturing the beauty and joy of this song ! This song brings nostalgia , innocence ,❤ and joy ! GOD BLESS ALL Pat Metheny Group lovers ! Smooth Jazz for life 🎉 ❤
Thanks from the ❤
brother!!!
This evokes joy and simultaneously sadness. Its beauty almost breaks my heart with nostalgia.
I'm fairly certain that Pat and Lyle would be absolutely horrified at being labeled "smooth jazz", but they'd be happy you love their music ❤️
This was the first Metheny tune I ever heard - summer of 1980. Been a big fan ever since. Awesome musician.........
This music connects strongly with so many people. I like that so many folks describe "the first time I heard it." They remember just where they were!

Absolutely indeed... True talent never dies.
2024 and still as amazing as ever!
Chanson magnétique, d'un pays où je n'irais pas. Merci Pat. Bon anniversaire
In my living will that this be played as they lower me into the grave-and this version...Music as I knew it never sounded the same to me after this.
Penny Gaiser aw shoot...hit a +1 but it said flag...sht..sorry man...
Play Pat Metheny at my wake!
Wow. I get goose bumps.
I will - what time do you wake? :-)
Fred Sanderson It was played at my wedding. That was kinda like a funeral....no....it was a wonderful, happy day! This was our song.
I went to Lehigh U and booked Pat and Lyle to play in our Econ hall - unbelievable talents
I whole heartedly agree with you all that this song is as if "Angels are singing to us all"- God bless whom ever came up with this song in there heart to share with US ALL...😘🥰😂
I'm still listening.12.2024
I feel sorry for anyone who has never heard this
🤣
Haha I know just what you mean
Thank you something real I'm 67 and I wish there was a way to tell him how much his music meant to me My wife never heard of him but when I played some of his music she was amazed as I was when I first heard him anyway sending good love vibes out to you and to him 🙏💖💖💖💖🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 I almost forgot to add that she took me on a cruise for my 50th birthday and some of those scenes are almost exactly where we were think it was St Thomas or St Martin but it was a once in a lifetime experience she gave to me
I find it very hard to believe that anyone
would click on the thumbs down on
this song. It is a masterpiece in music.
Some people don't have the patience to listen to a song of this length, complexity, and depth.
someone likes it, someone doesn't. World is the sum of the parts. I think is absolutely pointless to use the thumb down: if you don't like stop listening and we are all in peaceful life. Beautiful decision stop to show the counter about dislike.
Some people like junk food, some people like gourmet.
@ Guillermogouldburn763 Dom Perignon all day, all night.
Yes- most of us here are mid 60's now....and yes I was in my late teens discovering this beautiful song and music- still today I am a BIG Pat M fan !! And yes I now recognize the influence of Lyle Mays a lot in my piano playing of today....
I’m 46 and remember this being played by my father on Saturday mornings
I am floating , at 40 000 ft , flaps and gears extended , throttle levers in the pocket , both airspeed indicators in the coma , close to the stall speed , but this music is my paradise !!

Me Too! WRVR was the best jazz radio station on the planet....you would hear Pat Metheny group, and Count Basie, Ellington, Mangione, ALL jazz...new and old, with knowledgeable DJays. I really miss that station....just seeing the call letters brought back memories of my life in NYC. Yes, the '70's were great...for jazz especially, and music generally
There will never be another Pat Metheny.
Brilliant.. Perfect..
4:36 I always enjoy Pat's music
If there is anyone more musically, Creative I do not know whom it would be? I am 81 years young and Pat Metheny et al does it for me?
Pat put the Lorenzo in the overriding threshhold of a magnificence..
In 1989 I drove with my crew from Moron AB near Seville, Spain to Torremolinos on the Costa Del Sol. It was a sunny Friday morning and I was listening to San Lorenzo on my Sony Walkman. As we neared the coast our route took us through the hills above town. The hillsides were dotted with white, stucco homes sporting terracotta roofs. As we reached the top of one of the hills I looked out and there in the distance was the big, blue Mediterranean Sea. The picture is etched forever in my memory and it's what I think of every time I hear this great work by Pat Metheny.
landshark2903 Beautiful.
Incroyable 😍 trop puissant 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ce morceau 😍 quelle merveille ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞👍
Love this tune and the photos go so well with it!
THIS IS THE ONE THAT GOT ME STARTED ON THE PAT MAN'S JOURNEY OF LOVE OF HIS SOUND - WOWWEEKAZOWIE BOZO!!!
My son is only one month old. Loves Pat Metheny Group, he stops crying and starts listening. Keep working on those new ieas guys for the baby sake
What a great comment 🙏💖 a true father
Excelente. LYLE, te extraño 😢. RIP
His music puts me in a place that is hard to describe, but it feels like a safe place, a beautiful place and perhaps more significantly a place of inalterable PEACE!
I just turned 83 and love this song. And many other Metheny-Lyle works as well.
Hard to believe this was done in 1978! Truly timeless!!!
It's rare for someone at 17 to appreciate music like this . . . I did too. Marry me.
Metheny is such a relaxing breath of fresh air. We have lost Charlie and Toots, but the Great Pat metheny just keeps on playing works of art and therapies for the soul. PRAISE THE GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY FOR PAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a life altering experience!! This is the first Part Metheny song and LP I ever heard. Beautiful. Intellectual yet childlike. Uplifting and inspiring. Thank you Lyle Mays for you musical genius and Kenny Hylton, Jr for introducing this to me!!
@@chrisclermont456 You are in for such a treat. Truly soul lifting music.
And we have to give it up for Mr. Lyle Mayes on keyboards. Another genius. He and Pat were like birds and feather.
I was in college when I first heard this, sounds even better today than it did back then!
Ive been studying and playing the guitar for thirty years. i rarely listen to guitarists anymore; except for Pat Metheny.
I feel safe and warm whenever i hear this tune.
I don't think I would still be alive without his music
One of my all time favourite albums since the day it came out...
Doesn't this song just seemingly take you back to simpler times?
Where I discovered who and what I thought were the absolute coolest white dudes in the world, Pat Metheny and the late great Lyle Mayes may he forever rest in the same beautiful peace his keys brought to my soul . ❤❤Real Talk!
This cut is were I forever became a Jazz Fusion fan.
Love me some Pat Metheny Group!❤❤
I used to play Pat Metheny Group cds(yeah kids,I said CDs😄) at work before I retired and the work days always seem to just slide on by😍
I believe this was the first Pat Metheny song I ever heard and I have been hooked on his music since then. Wow that was 1978!! Almost 46 years ago! For some reason I associate it with skiing, the beauty of an untouched blanket of snow, clean, crisp and pure. Thanks Pat, for filling my life with your wonderful music!
Me to Ranger 37 yrs years and still sounds as powerful as ever
Never, ever, ever gets old.
Pat Metheny is a genius and a blessing to the music world loved listening to him yesterday today and the tomorrows of my life God Bless you Pat Metheny Diane Wills
It has always been my ardent dream, and my brother's, that Pat would one day visit Manila so we can watch him live for the first and probably the last time. Can't count the times I dreamed of meeting him and his band in person. Still in my bucket list.
TIMELESS .... TAKES ME BACK TO SIMPLER TIMES ....
Those haunting Jaco bass lines.....never duplicated..What a loss!
Ive seen Pat Metheny 6 times and with Lyle Mays. What loss an incredible musician. I love this song.. San Lorenzo!
"it is still my favorite song of all time"
I have to agree.
Beautiful music, it goes back to magic places.Thanks for sharing

Pat Metheny fan to this day, he is brilliant guy...
also caught the show at Saratoga vineyard in 94 amazing. married the woman I took with still in love!!!
1978....fresh, clean sound, instant classic
As much as I love pat and lyle, I missed this track somehow. Now I will let this one melt into my memory.
Back in 1978 , radio station WRVR , in NYC turned me on to The Pat Metheny Group and I have been a fan of their music ever since. San Lorenzo open the foodgates for me and that flow continues to this day.
Am a Pat Metheny fan, too, from the time I first heard him in the 80's till today.
It's a shame that people don't listen to this today like we did in the 80's with GREAT BIG STERIO COMPONENTS and a/d/s SPEAKERS, played LOUD. I still get CHILLS !!
Getting ready to re-foam and refurbish a pair of AR-2ax's. Can't wait to play this whole album through them...
JBL-100's were studio speakers of choice from about 1975 till almost 1990. Nothing wrong with the AR's except a might to bright on the high end.
Who said that people don't listen to this today?
Don't forget the 901's by Bose or Klipshe, either.
Or Magnaplanars
Saw the group at the time of this album at a little club in Old CIty Philadelphia named "Stars". A treasured memory.
Pat Metheny Music is like a religion to me"""
Amen! Fernando.
Me to. 🙏🏻
TO ME TOO!! AND MY BROTHER!!
I totally agree.. We are missing Lyle!
. loving San Lorenzo now
The year was 1976 listening to www4 in Detroit when I heard this. had a buzz to the greatest song of that year.still one of the greatest song ever...
BRILLIANT composition! First heard it on the radio by chance in 1978.I was all alone in the afternoon and a thunderstorm was raging. I just stared out the window and listened in total awe.
Funny, I also clearly remember first hearing this ... might have been 15 - 16 yrs old, and knew this was really something special. All these yrs later... thank you for posting.
Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Danny Gottlieb, Mark Egan.
Perfection Personified!
Escuchar este tema es como subir a lo más alto y bajar poco a poco. Insuperable!
San Lorenzo es para mí uno de los mejores temas de Pat Metheny Group. Los teclados suenan geniales.....Vamos Pat debes volver a realizar música con Lyle Mays.
