Nana Vasconcelos, the percussionist and vocalist heard here, died of cancer at the age of 71 on March 9, 2016. He was a former member of the PMG. We love him and we miss him!
this whole album what a masterstroke found me when I needed it to it will always be associated with so many unmusical things that it gave meaning and made bearable thanks guys
Best tune ever! That Oberheim synth is a timeless sound and so evocative. I have always felt like this tune on 'As Falls Witchita.." is the really uplifting homecoming after the long explorative journey.
Saw that concert as I was a musician and living across the street from that theater. I have seen and heard lots of concerts, but to me, soundwise that was the best. Some friends of mine did the lighting job for that concert.
I saw this tour in Austin, TX., Halloween 1982. I was front row, center at the Paramount Theater. It was a magical evening. I will never forget it. They played this entire album (As Falls...) along with most of the 1st Pat Metheny Group album and almost all of Offramp (it was of course the Offramp Tour). It was a singular experience highlighted when Pat lost his pick in the middle of an intense solo (it actually might have been this tune!) and started finger picking and then he snatched-up the pick, which was right in front of my nose, about 2 bars later without missing a note. Unreal.
I live in Austin and cannot fathom seeing that tour at The Paramount. Consider yourself blessed. I actually first saw him not with the group but with Ornette Coleman. Then the group 4 times after that.
It's a shame that so little USA musicians dont know and master the Latin styles, here Pat changes to Bossa Nova, rhythm. A painter with the most colors...
41 years, I'm just getting older without knowing... Shit, didn't see it, coming so fast, and I am feeling right now seem is like yesterday ... Hey shit man crisis, j'e n'ai pas vu Le temps passé j'avais 20 ans. C'est vrai, on a vingt ans qu'une seul fois ! ❤❤
Always liked the fly lighting on the keys and he resisted the compulsion to shoo him away! Great live version of a great jazz tune! Thanks for the post!
Pat and I are the same age. At the time of this recording we were 27. He was already a serious, world renowned virtuoso musician and composer. I was about to finish grad school and still smoking dope and chasing girls. Talk about the road less traveled….!
I have this on VHS video tape from early 80s. I use to play the hell out of it, trying to figure the solo out. So nice to see it once again after all these years. Brings back so many memories of those days. I met Pat Metheny twice at Hammersmith Odeon. Such a nice guy, very humble. He's an incredible musician, as indeed they all are in this band. Playing solos with a clean guitar like this is not easy, especially when the music becomes intense. Pat Metheny is a master at it. Wonderful, uplifting music. Long may he continue, R.I.P. Lyle Mays
¡Es que no me canso de oir ésta composición en especial cuando estoy triste y cansado mentalmente!! ¡Brillante cambio a los 4:18 con la magia de Naná!!
This is an excellent song.... listen when you have a minute to sit calm and take the journey .... should have been titled "the Great Adventure! " the multiple climatic stages is a musical wonder
I've been watching a bunch of performances from MJF and it dawned on me...the lineup for 1982 was unbelievable! In addition to PMG, Maynard Ferguson, McCoy Tyner, Jaco Pastorius, Sonny Rollins, Jean‐Luc Ponty, John Dankworth/Cleo Laine, Willie Dixon, Wynton Marsalis, Buddy Rich, Chick Corea/Gary Burton, Ornette Coleman, and last, but not least, Miles Davis also played that year. Mind = blown
Wait a min, who is playing bass here? Is that Steve standing and playing synthesized bass on a keyboard? Along with something else? His movements seem to suggest he is playing a different part.
It's hard to tell with blurry-vision, but I don't see a bass at all. Starting at 5:58 you can see Steve Rodby (I think it's Steve's hair) doing some right hand only thing on the keyboard. He and Lyle seem to be doing a background salsa groove.
Apparently it was originally issue on VHS back in the day. I so wish they would remaster it and reissue on DVD. It's always been one of my favourite PMG live concerts and lineup.
No entiendo de insectos pero si de música y ese grillito se va del teclado Lyle justo en el momento que queda la tónica en sustain... para que Pat haga la cadencia jonica I maj7 bVII7-b5 IV-7 para mí que el grillito le avisa y se va

So sorry to here that!

Damn. Huge loss for the world.

If I could listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be it.
I agree with you wholeheartedly
this whole album
what a masterstroke
found me when I needed it to
it will always be associated with so many unmusical things that it gave meaning and made bearable
thanks guys
This incredible track is the big final scene in the fantastic movie Fandango. Waves of cold chills!
One of the best road trip/coming of age/ buddy movies.....very underrated. This song is the cherry on the top of the soundtrack.
"Hey how about a Fandango"
This is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard. Everytime I listen to it gives me chills

Key change does it for me and Nana on vocals..
1 of the 10 best Pieces ever wrote, i would say.
Rest Easy Lyle and Nana....
Shedding a tear right now...
Didn´t know about Nana, big hero too, the best for them
Once every 1000 or so years, the universe brings together two beings like Pat and Lyle. I guess we will have to wait for a while now. Thank you Lyle
I'm waiting.
Well said
They were made for each other! Lyle should’ve been a NEA Jazzmaster!
More like every 10,000 years
There will never be another like them. Lyle was just phenomenal, every performance
Best tune ever! That Oberheim synth is a timeless sound and so evocative.
I have always felt like this tune on 'As Falls Witchita.." is the really uplifting homecoming after the long explorative journey.
Agreed!
Should be called "Uberheim"
Digging this hard some1 just shared me on stupid fb
Saw that concert as I was a musician and living across the street from that theater. I have seen and heard lots of concerts, but to me, soundwise that was the best. Some friends of mine did the lighting job for that concert.
I would love to go to something like this I only been to ozzy Osborne I like ozzy but that was disturbing 😐 😀 this is more my style
Chanceux. Inoubliable.
A cross country drive against the backdrop of rural Americana. Pat Metheny creates shimmering landscapes of music and sound. Genius.
I think that's what makes it so magical.
RIP Lyle Mays (keyboardist) and Nana Vasconcelos (percussionist)
This song puts me in a wonderful trance.
I always knew this was a musical story of the evolution of a loving relationship
Questa versione live é ancora piú bella di quella in studio... grandissimi...
Thank God for these guys . Life would be so much different without them. Made a huge difference in the quality of my life
Steve Rodby playing synthesizer bass on the grooving section.
My wife and I were so lucky to have seen them play at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco some time in the late 80s. My all time favorite band!

4:19 Lyle Mays is ON! This groove is so impressive. Anyone begs to improvise on it. Amazing. LYLE MAYS, PEACE.

I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of people who could pull that off....
I always go back to this beautiful album farewell Lyle.
😢
This one "It's for you" great man, musician and human being .... Never forgotten, Always beloved and missed.
It's a shame that so little USA musicians dont know and master the Latin styles, here Pat changes to Bossa Nova, rhythm. A painter with the most colors...
That depends on where you live.
@@Riddim4 ? East Coast, Canada. I don't understand why Pat being an International player of many world styles has anything to do with where I'm from?
41 years, I'm just getting older without knowing... Shit, didn't see it, coming so fast, and I am feeling right now seem is like yesterday ...
Hey shit man crisis, j'e n'ai pas vu Le temps passé j'avais 20 ans. C'est vrai, on a vingt ans qu'une seul fois ! ❤❤
Wonderful tune. Upbeat, yet it also has a wonderful melancholy feel to it.....
Always liked the fly lighting on the keys and he resisted the compulsion to shoo him away! Great live version of a great jazz tune! Thanks for the post!
I just cannot describe my feelings. This song is simply amazing - better on the album than here live, but still life changing. I mean ... just, wow.
Love this Music.......reminds me of driving by the Riverfront back in the day....
Masterpiece !!!! 😍😍😍😍
REST IN PEACE LYLE MAYES 2/10/20
“Play Fandango!”...
Always been a favorite song of mine
Amid quarantine 2020 is perfect!
Out of a wonderful dream of complete conscience .
Fandango
I can’t get enough…
The autoharp sounds so good
Li amo tutti i componenti del gruppo,tutti maestri,compreso il mitico vocalist. Fanno volare altrove facendoti " percepire i suoni della natura" 🤷
Excelente, genialmente musical!! 😍🎶🎵🤩💝💯
There is a heaven ✨️ 😍 ❤️ 🙏
Pat and I are the same age. At the time of this recording we were 27. He was already a serious, world renowned virtuoso musician and composer. I was about to finish grad school and still smoking dope and chasing girls. Talk about the road less traveled….!
great master .your music heals the soul
Beautiful song...!!!
What an era that we of our age have lived through! The best music ever conceived! In my opinion. I am in awe.
i wish i was born back then
This is on of favorite Pat Metheney songs.
This is the most incredible music I've ever heard. Nothing will ever compare to this wonderful music. Thank you so much for posting!!!!
Happy Birthday Lyle!!!!
Lyle Mays was a genius and to me is the modern days Beethoven of Jazz. He will never get enough credit in my eyes for the PMG's sound.
A fly on the keyboard to play with Lyle...and then back to the sky.
¡No me canso de oir ésta composición!!!
(I can’t stop listening to this composition!)
I have this on VHS video tape from early 80s. I use to play the hell out of it, trying to figure the solo out. So nice to see it once again after all these years.

Wonderful, uplifting music. Long may he continue, R.I.P. Lyle Mays
4:17 onwards makes me cry with jiy
Un excelente Grupo lo escucho cuando estoy pintando desde los años ochentas!!!
Epic.
One of my all time favs
I remember when his outside show basically closed down the whole darn downtown core of Montreal. It was magic.
Que coisa linda da poxa! 💗
Gracias por subirlo, excelente,

Sem palavras prá definir tamanha genialidade,sensibilidade e inspiração Pat Eterno,Naná Eterno só gênios sagrados
I’d say once every 5000 thousand years . But its always worth the wait.

@6:01 Such a tasteful phrase.
So sorry to hear , percussion is everything. About a song impact..

The samba outro has echoes of Toninho Horta
0:54 it also likes the fly
the video is synchronized with the concert that was audio and I think its no DVD yet.
Takes me into the void
Truth.....flow void....
Magic sound ……fandango remember

A moog bass😉
0:55 I wish I could be that fly
what synth was steve using for the bass here? sounds amazing. flattened minimoog maybe?
Even that fly wanted to play bass notes with Lyle!
Do you by chance have the whole concert saved?
Apparently it was originally issue on VHS back in the day. I so wish they would remaster it and reissue on DVD. It's always been one of my favourite PMG live concerts and lineup.
At (0:53) is that a fly? .... Over the keyboard?
A very lucky fly! ;)
@@nielsenjesp yes, Jesper, very luck.
Look, it’s Flyle Mays at :54-56
Gottlieb Drummer at 4:17 onwards
Fly over keyboard on 0:54.
Really good musicians always smell a little bit. ;)
4.20
Quien toca el otro sinthe?
Steve Robdy hace la secuencia de los bajos en el sinthe.
Muchas gracias amigo
0:50 alguien vio el grillito que se posa en las teclas mientras hace el solo Lyle?
No entiendo de insectos pero si de música y ese grillito se va del teclado Lyle justo en el momento que queda la tónica en sustain... para que Pat haga la cadencia jonica I maj7 bVII7-b5 IV-7 para mí que el grillito le avisa y se va
