I recall the night in the 70's when I purchased this album. 6 decades later and it still sounds just the same. Thanks Pat. God Bless Lyle.
Pat wearing a Peaches Record store tee shirt, Peaches was a record superstore in Bethel Park Pennsylvania (a suburb of Pittsburgh). My mom managed it for years, met a lot of artists and had the run of merchandise for years. Got in to PMG in 1978 in high School from cruising the store racks!
There was a Peaches in Ft. Lauderdale FL. One night me and my roommate went there on a Jazz Fusion shopping spree. I bought the " Dixie Dregs " first album " Free Fall " for fifty cents. Funny because 4 years later I met the keyboard player Steve Davidowlski when he came in my little music store in Atlanta. We're still good friends to this day.
LYLE ! Those were the days! Changed and informed my musical consciousness! I am forever grateful to these men .
A magnificent trip back in to a much, much simpler time. Thanks so much for the post! You rock!!!
This music must have sounded like a revelation to 1977 ears... so futuristic and expansive, yet being played by four hot shot kids.
yessss, I was thinking the same thing🙂
This comment is really on target. Was walking down a corridor at college in '77 or '78 and heard this album being played in a bid to sell tickets to a concert that night. My first reaction was: "What is that?" Went to the concert and my musical world expanded... big time.
Yes, I saw an old " Austin City Limits ". Everyone in the audience were like seeing and hearing ET's landing with a message. Being a professional musician my whole life it was very satisfying to see all those folks so blown away. Oh, and the show was from the 70's.
I was born in 83, so I missed a chance of experiencing them perform live in the 70s and early 80s. Sucks because their stuff from the 70s and 80s is what appeals to me the most. I discovered their music in the early 2000s and even though I wasn't their to watch/listen to them perform when they were in their 20s, I am grateful that UA-camrs like this channel make it possible to hear their early performances.
Aquel inolvidable e inigualable PMG de ECM...
first concert I went to was Pat Metheny Group at the Orpheum in Boston 1980. Was awesome
This is so amazing. This is about the first time when I saw the group right around this period of time.
Ladies and gentlemen, Lyle Mays on piano in Jaco! OMG, boys had it dialed in early! What a gem. Thanks for posting.
This is GOLD!!!!!!!
ECM....my brother Kevin and I would study this album for hours and hours... It's still so interesting and fresh. Even Pat has lost his groove now..
Wasn't as good after the 80s and got even worst after Lyle left.
Im a big Metheny fan. Why would you say he got worse? His newer works are as ambicious and genius as always.
La mística del PM Group,es única,como el arte todo,cuando lo es, es único,gracias por compartir ❤
I'm sitting in Portland, ME right now and would LOVE to see this lineup. I've seen PMG around 15-20 times over the years post 1986. Thank you for posting this!
Todo bless you
God bless you
Thanks for posting. The picture is priceless, never mind the music. I've been a fan since 79 and have got my tickets for the Moondial tour. Being a PM fan is a full time job.
Being a PM fan is a full time job, but also one of the best jobs in the world.
Legendary!!!
man. "that was a new piece... "phase dance" (ER no less). So. Early. priceless for those of that love PM group. and didn't know DG played with Joe Farrell... that's amazing.
I also really love this version of ‚Unity Village‘… the piano really adds a lot, though I also love the trio version on ‚Bright Size Life‘!
Grazie
Gonna need to see some ID sir for that beer.
Thanks for uploading this gem. When juxtaposed with his multi-track, layered studio grandiose in the 1980s, one might be inclined to dismiss this crudely recorded stuff.
Still, this performance definitely conveys as much beauty, depth and intricacy as his studio recordings in the aforementioned period.
Correction: ...his multi-track, layered studio grandiosity in the 1980s and 90s,
...as much beauty, depth and intricacy as his studio performance in the aforementioned period do.
Thanks for posting, this concert has been brightening my days
Wow…pure gold! Thank you! ❤
Thank You!!
Thanks for posting. May I borrow your time machine when you are through with it?
Music like this in the seventies was groundbreaking stuff the jazz fusion scene was on FM radio and inspired many musicians When Steeley Dan Aja Doobie Brothers Minute by Minute gave contemporary artist another forum to travel down😊❤Jeff Becks Blow by Blow Jean Lic Ponty Cosmic Messenger did just that blow minds😮
Blow by Blow changed my world.
Absolutely love this! One thing I always wondered: When the PMG was criss-crossing the US in the early years, playing constant gigs for little money and doing all their own driving and setting up…. What about the piano? Did they travel with a piano or renting them locally? I think the latter is unlikely as they often played in remote places and certainly didn‘t have the money to rent pianos and have them tuned….
it is just a time travel back in these years !
What great music they played then already. Was this recorded on cassette?
It probably was that’s what I used back then. We didn’t have computers then. This was a Fm broadcast.

Who is the guy
in the door glass reflection?
The guy in the glass door It's a section of the photo of Pats head reflecting in the vans window, blown up and moved to the left under the text. It really is a fine edited job, as this was probably done in a darkroom to blow up ie (increase the size of the original photo) and then cut and placed over the original photo.They would have to make sure it was not too grainy so it would match. A Lot of work for sure. Since Photoshop arrived a novice can do an edit like this in a few minutes. thanks for reading
I thought it was something like that.I really appreciate your response.!!
Pat is famous for cut and paste.Ask jim Hall. Lol
In that year, I went to see Pat, but I left talking about lyle and the other guys.
