  • fantastic music!

  • I watched the entire video without clicking "CLICK HERE FOR BETTER QUALITY".

  • I saw the first Pat Methenty group concert at a club called Axis in Soho in NYC. They were tight even then with Egan and Gotliebm on drums.

  • RIP Mark Ledford. Miss you Brotha!!

  • amazing music..amazing band...I've seen them live few times which is nothing short of amazing....

  • I just love the piano solo's that Lyle does. He's piano playing is unique. Lyle

    himself is the stabilizer of the group.

  • the clapping is a straightforward 10/8-12/8 alternate bars. I started to do it myself after the third listening and it does not surprise me that Metheny's fans can handle it.

  • Looks like pat when through a few picks in that song

  • we are marching to this song :}

  • look like Pat was having some technical difficulties towards the end of that performance...lol

  • super:)

  • bei diesem song ist der tag immer wieder gerettet!!!!!!! Soviel musik im herzen ....das ist noch musik!!!! einfach genial und immer wieder gern und schön anzuhören.....lg an alle pat metheny - fans ;-)

  • 3 people don't understand music...

  • Love the Space Invaders in the background! :-)

  • Were those black leather pants? Pat must have been 'stepping out' at that gig! Love it.

  • Perchè non ci sono più trasmissioni così ora?? che tristezza!

  • grande Pat!!

  • This is the most beautiful music he have ever made!

    Genial and inspired 11/8!!!

    Hail Pat!

  • i love how the guy at 1:26 is playing keys. genius

  • Excellent. That's the first time seeing that. Also, for those brass minded folks, I'd highly highly recommend your listening to Bob Curnow's version with the L.A Big Band!!

  • the dynamics are immaculate

  • Questo brano e' di una bellezza infinita!!! e l'assolo di Lyle e' poesia allo stato puro!!

  • ciao non è che per caso di quella puntata di doc hai anche last train home?

    io l'avevo in vhs poi è andato perso...........

    ciao e complimenti

  • indimenticabile. me lo ricordo come se fosse ora

  • @cha0sleader - My high school jazz band is playing this chart, it's really cool with our vocalists

  • Wow, 111,000 Views, I'm pretty sure at least 10k of them are mine :)

  • @mormon97 It's over 9000!

  • version extraordinaire...que d'emotions ..!!!

  • I was always wondering who/what plays this toms at 2:22?

  • @uidk0374 - The reason that more people view current artists is because they are uneducated morons. True music for intelligent people like this, is wasted on the majority nowadays.

  • It's amazing to me that all of the stupid pop artists get around 32 million views in a little over a month, and these amazing artists only receive a little over 100,000 views over the course of two to three years.....

  • @uidk0374

    It's the mark of a true artist. The best musicians are the ones you have to look for.

  • bc he is a master of everything !! even when he was a beginner with PASTORIUS he did nt show off!!!!

  • I love you Pat!!! Been listening since '83, my first year in high school. All my kids love you.

  • 6:47 on.. 30 seconds ill never forget..

  • una volta in italia si poteva vedere pat in TV!!!!!!!

  • @mdtguit35 Verissimo!

    Io infatti lo ho visto non mi ricordo in che trasmissione,, con il Pat Metheny Group che suonavano uno dei miei pezzi preferiti "Are you going with me?". Se mi ricordo bene era il 1988.

    Ero scioccato dalla bellezza di tutto quello che suonavano, ed ero gia' un fan di loro da almeno 5/6 anni prima ed avevo alcuni suoi albums.

    Ora li ho tutti.

  • His fans find their most inspired responses in appreciation of this wondrous musician and group... If God were a musician, She'd be Pat! 

  • it's all about the sound. a great jazz player can play a single note, and the audience is satisfied.

  • This is the stuff legends are made of...

    Well Done...REALLY well done!!

  • Hi people, I knew this amazing music wen I was 15 years old in the 90`s, since ever, I never found an awesome musician like Pat Metheny, the whole group is just great, its curious, I heve listenet this song thousand times and I ever find new marvelous things, this is for sure one of the greatest songs of the history,,,

  • Jeez man...totally awesome.

  • Este tema me rompe la cabeza. Gracias Tomás por recordármelo

  • just so beautiful. folk like you that keep it real Pat

  • I like the guy looking for his keys at 1;28

  • n°1 original instrument..

  • Wow, thanks for posting this. I've been trying to figure out the guitar arrangement for months! The songbook doesn't give any voicings for the strumming sections and the mix of this video is very guitar heavy, cool.

    This tune is ridiculously difficult yet these cats pull it off like they're just playing the latest Brittney spears tune!

  • Su musica habla mucho del tempano ,del cristal ,del sonido esperanzador.

  • the singers should be singing in harmony in the beginning

  • Have you guys ever seen Pat wear LEATHER PANTS? What is up with his outfit here? No stripey shirt, tight leather pants? Maybe he had a date after the show. Seriously though, I love this guy and anyone that can play the way he does can wear whatever the hell he wants. I mean look at some of the get ups Michael Hedges used to wear on stage.

  • @lionhearted99 Shouldn't everyone in general wear whatever the hell they want?

  • questo era DOC un programma della rai quando era la RAI, grande path, altri tempi per la tv italiana. oggi cari direttori siete monezza senza cuore. solo il denaro per voi conta. vergogna. bravi Gege teresfolo e Arbore

  • Has anyone here ever tried to actually play a chart of First Circle? My university Jazz band is working on this, and as beautiful a piece as it is, it is also ridiculously tricky to play.

  • Bellisimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bravo......

  • Easily my favorite jazz song. I'll be listening to this for a couple weeks straight to arrange it for my school jazz band!

  • pat, you're always with me! i truly love you!

  • great! You are my best friend ! Thank you so much Pat, and thanks you to Lyle and to the others ... The music of the heart , jazz fusion!

  • 5/5

  • much of the arrangements have come from Lyle Mays....he deserves a lot of credit for this timeless music.

  • Now I know where my keys went:)

  • Was there ever a guitarist who could absolutely wreak solo havoc and yet, as Pat does here, just play the rhythm role so supportively? The man is simply amazing.

  • WOW !

  • I saw the PMG play this tune before the songs for the album even had titles. Pat kept referring to them as "special untitled song # ____". It was in Randolph, NJ.

    His music had been the score for much of my life through the 80's.

  • I listen to this stuff, and I'm young!

  • pure magic! Can't stop listening to it.. I played it in college too... was one of my favs

  • Man. Man.  Oh, Man!

  • Musica fantastica , le voci magiche.

  • 1988 ....22 anni fa...alla rai facevano queste trasmissioni!!! Ma che cazzo è successo in questi 22 anni???????

  • @giputti l'avvento del MESSIA e della sua maledetta tv commerciale che più commerciale non si può.... che tristezza ragazzi

  • da DOC una trasmissione musicale fantastica....ed oggi ci dobbiamo sorbire...Amici...X factor etc..

    MAGICO ED ETERNO PAT

  • da DOC trasmissione della RAI ed oggi che tramissioni musicali ci sono .....Amici.....X factor....che pena...

  • Let's not forget the amazing musicians that play with him ...

  • Best concert I ever attended -- ever -- was a Pat Metheny Group concert in Omaha, Nebraska, where they played in the student union cafeteria with about 90 people there. Lyle was with them too and it was such a special night they shared with a few dozen of us mortals. I'll never forget that night as long as I live.

  • It's amazing that the audience's clapping doesn't fall out of rhythm. . .

  • i'm pretty sure those claps are sequenced.

  • Haha, thanks. I guess I was looking at the audience when they were finishing clapping, and I thought they were starting the rhythm.

  • @KwameNewton It's a fairly complicated rhythm. The underlying pattern is 22 eighth notes, subdivided as 123-12-123-12-12-123-123-12-12­. The clapping is simply NOT clapping on any of the 1's. Not too many non-musicians would be able to just pick that up and clap it.

  • @Chileanskies they are. the songs time signature 22/8... the claps are on 2,3,5,7,8,10,12,14,15,17,18,20­,22

  • @SamMoff As far as I know, while the overall pattern is 22/8, the actual time signature is an alternation of 12/8 and 10/8 every other bar. My high school marching band performed this song in the Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival in 1998 to a fairly decent finish, although the judges had a hard time keeping track of the rhythm. :)

    We did 11-beat phrases for marching purposes. It was pretty nuts.

  • @thebookofdealy

    It uses a combination of 12/8, 10/8, 12/8, 10/8...in a pattern of 3,2,3,2,2 on the 12/8 and a pattern of 3,3,2,2 on the 10/8. Then throughout there's a few 8/8 bars with a feel of 2,2,2,2 and some 12/8 bars with a 3,3,3,3 feel. The beginning claps are:

    12/8|r ♪ ♪r ♪r ♪ ♪r ♪r ♪|10/8|r ♪ ♪r ♪ ♪r ♪r ♪|...and...12/8|r ♪rrrrrrr ♪r ♪|10/8|r ♪rrrrr ♪r ♪|...

    I have the 1st Trumpet part of the Curnow arragnement in front of me :)

  • @HuntHoffffff Hey matey you certainly seem to know your stuff, is "Are you going with me" the same time sugnature? (22/8 I'm guessing)

    Cheers!

  • @hughjarrse Hmm I've never heard that one. I'm guessing it would just be in 4/4 though. I have no idea haha :)

  • @Chileanskies Its not uncommon for people to clap in sync at concerts.

  • @KwameNewton t'en fais pas, on entend les musiciens qui l'accompagnent claquer des mains. Les seuls qui suivent dans l'assistance sont eux mêmes musiciens. Observe bien au début de la vidéo, il y en a plusieurs qui abandonnent.

  • the vocalist on the right looks like that dude from a different world

  • Totally brilliant.  Mark Ledford.R.I.P

  • Sensacional musica progresiva, adoro a Pat Metheny..

    He is a Genius....

  • This guy sometimes leaves me without words!!

  • pure genius!

  • Extraordinário, música de excelente qualidade. UM VERDADEIRO SHOW!!! Jenny Carla - Manaus/Am - Brasil

  • Que video extraordinário, música de excelente qualidade, UM VERDADEIRO SHOW!!! Jenny Carla - Manaus/Am - Brasil

  • Vcs são sensacionais, bons tempos que jamais voltam... Isso sim é música de qualidade...

  • We played this has a full blown percussion ensemble in high school. It was amazing then but I forgot just how talented of a composer Pat Metheny was.  Years later, it's still fantastic.

  • The CD that is.

  • After hearing this I had to get it on eBay, It was cheap too, thank god for eBay :o)

  • Ragazzi, questa trasmissione la ricordo: si chiamava DOC, ed era condotta da Monica Nannini ed il grande Gegè Telesforo. Avevo 8 anni quando mio fratello la guardava, e me la ricordo ancora! (Per quanto ancora non conoscessi Pat Metheny)

  • Did you see the primitive "keyboard" at 1:27?

  • Hahahaha!

  • I can't get over how well Pat Metheny composes. AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • none of lyle mays' piano solo versions ever compare to what he did on the original. And he never tries to go back to it either-- The simple, beautiful, 1 minute solo on the first circle album. oh well

  • 8:25

    I think he broke his pick. xD

  • Pick flew out of his hands...

  • so beautiful , , when i listen to this , i feel like i am in love for the first time , , this is just heaven sent music ,

  • it is indeed !!!

  • di un altro pianeta.

  • great performance , one of my favorites!Thanks for posting !

  • Not a big fan (yet)..but I found this interesting...

  • Me and my highschool big band played this back in 98 or 99' , good memories, I love Pat Metheny! Honto Sugoi, Saico, Cho Suki, Jozu Pat Matheney

  • PAT METHENY É F-O-D-A

  • paia

  • I've never met a nicer guy. Thanks,Pat, for chatting.

  • Where'd you talk to him?

  • Wow, he had to put two guys in order to replace Pedro Aznar, and even after that, the Pedro Aznar sung version is quite better than this

  • Nope!

  • my highschool is playing this as our opener for our show this year for marching band

  • it just amazes me that a primate can create something so sublime

  • In my Pat top 10 this track.

  • I admire how in this song, metheny relegates himself to just play the comping guitar. it shows how humble he is. He doesn't need to show-off a big solo to create a masterpiece.

    admiro como en esta cancion, metheny se relega a tocar acompañamiento. es como un acto de humildad. él no nesecita estar siempre delante para crear una obra maestra.

  • @Chileanskies, what humble!?! The last 2'30'' comping guitar is a masterpiece itself!! :-))

  • @Chileanskies Metheny's music has evolved past the ego and is in a higher plane now.

  • que melodia ta hermosa grasias siga asi

    yo amo la musica

  • questo è il mio pezzo preferito di pat....è fantastico,un vortice di emozioni.......c'è un equilibrio perfetto tra "ispirazione" e "volontà di dare il massimo tecnicamente"

  • Gracias! Thank you for sharing this fantastic performance. This was the last music on Methenys best early work on the great ECM label a apex in his career in my opinion. This is a truly incredible piece (a favorite) which reflects yearning and the open landscapes of America's countryside. Here the band mixes complex rhythms, acoustic and electric nuances and a sense of melody that penetrates the heart and mind. Superb and timeless!!!

  • Finalmente disponibile sul tubo una delle performance più riuscite della storia della musica di Pat Metheny, ovvero Pat nel programma Doc di Renzo Arbore. C'è tutto in questa musica: feeling, melodia, ritmo, virtuosimo (trasparente, non si direbbe), un assolo memorabile di Lyle Mays che dimostra la gestione da parte di Pat dello spazio nella band per tutti i musicisti, una band storicamente "aperta" e creativa.

  • Pedro Aznar fue y será el mejor interpretando este tema.

    Todos mis repetos para David Blamires y Mark Ledford (que en paz descanse), pero no tenian esa magia que imponían el gran Argentino Pedro Aznar.

  • Si es cierto.. Te digo que los dos son talentosos eh.. pero Pedro es otra cosa

  • Still my favorite tune OF ALL TIME!

  • strepitoso semplicemente strepitoso

  • One of the greatest compositions.

    Ever.

  • wonderful!

  • this actually being the first PMG I have ever heard, any phish fans out there hear a distinct divided sky... esp during the piano solo?  I love that I continue to find influences for those guys as I get older... very cool song

  • there are tons of PMG references in phish tunes; i hear them all the time!! phase dance is directly responsible for the opening to Slave!!

  • lyle mays

  • Too bad this song wasn't available when Voyager was launched, years before.

    This would have made a nice representative sampling of human civilization.

  • Too bad this song wasn't available when youtube's HD was launched....

  • That piano solo is breath taking

  • Yes, and do you also like the piano solo in 'Here to stay'?

  • bit embarrassing for the audience to  applaud in the middle - perhaps they thought that was it!

    One of my favourite PMG pieces, just love the structure, the Lyle liquid solos, the crescendo to the finale is out of this world!

  • I don't know man, they were more likely applauding a great solo... it's proper etiquite.

  • I know what you mean. The 2 guys vocal part crescendoes and then the song pauses... that's a natural moment to show some appreciation. Would you have spared me the thumbs down if I'd put a wink in? I wasn't having a serious go at them! If I'd been there who knows I'd very likely have joined in, it is a song which inspires a lot of emotion and enjoyment, isn't it.

  • Haha well, if you put it that way.

    And you're right, the song is quite fabulous. It's an intense clapping rhythm.

  • oh my... spent 7 months in the North West Territories and the only thing that kept me sane was this album that I had on my walkman as I biked up and down the mountains,,, this is soooooo nostalgic!!!! thanks for posting....

  • Thanks man, if the piano player gets it together :P yeah Pat Metheny is one of the few jazz guitarists I can not only respect, but enjoy. Although I wouldn't say he's traditional jazz, but yeah hoped I helped.

  • Don't ever try to clap along with this. It will drive you crazy trying to figure out the pattern. This is an amazing live version. Thanks for posting.

  • 12/8, 10/8

  • Sorry, I'm a music lover but not a player. Is that a sort of tempo?

  • That's the time signature, 12/8 8th note gets the beat 12 beats in a measure, 1 la li 2 la li 3 la li 4 la li, 12 beats, in 10/8 it's the same but 1 la li 2 la li 2 la li 3 la li 4, back to one the 12/8, 10/8 alternates every other measure for the majority of the piece.

  • Cool - thanks for the explanation.

  • :D sure thing, pretty sure I got it right, but it probably made no sense.

  • It does to some degree. I can hear them switching back and forth. I think it's what make this sounds so cool. Is this a typical thing?

  • I personally don't usually deal with complex measures all that much, but I'd have to say it's not so typical. I understand a lot of the theory is this piece just cause we're doing an arrangement for our high school jazz ensemble so I've been doing more research on complex measures and some of the specific rhythms they use, but yeah the 12/8, 10/8 thing definitely gives it a unique flow, there are occasionally bars of 8/8 as well in the piece, I haven't looked at it all that much.

  • Good luck with your ensemble. I think Pat Metheny is timeless. It's something you can always come back to and say - damb that's good stuff. Anyway, good luck and keep jamming.

  • technically the main beat is 22/8

    meaning you could split it up in 12/8 then 10/8

    but there is some 4/4

    and the piano solo is 9/8

  • I believe the piano solo is for the most part in 12/8, with the odd passage of 8/8.

    Likewise, the song is in 12/8 + 10/8, as you can feel a clear division of 1 at the beggining of every 10/8.

  • you know this must be good when a 14 year old girl likes it...=]

  • Simply amazing

  • Beautiful Sound !!!

  • What would really be impressive is if anyone in this band played the tambourine or the handclaps in this song - no one did, of course, as that was the click track to the tune.

  • Pat is one awesome guitar player..composer..he's a renaissance man..BUT he like to wear the exact same shirt..I could swear I saw him wear that same shirt in 2003 concert. and his hair..ahahaha...GO PAT!!!!

  • Oye compadre gracias por poner este video aqui... Chileno tenia que ser...Viva Chile Mierda!!!! Feliz Ano a Todos!!

  • Its always good to carry spare picks, isn't it Pat?

  • What skill it must require to be able to perform this tune live.

  • Not so much - just practice. There is a GREAT big band arrangement of this, and it was pretty easy to play. Note fot note, btw. Anyway enough bragging, so, I finally figured out that Wertico is playing the ride pattern on TWO cymbals - wish I had known that before I practiced it and played it one handed - oops there I go again bragging.

  • this an exceptional Renzo Arbore program was doc

  • yeah but it doesnt come close in my book, you can't touch the PMG.

  • when I first heard this piece of music I doubted any band could come close to playing it well live; well I was obviously wrong. amazing.

  • Thanks for sharing!
