Proud graduate of the Lee's Summit High School in Missouri (The high school I go to). And we're playing this in our jazz band. Metheny you are amazing.
Great version of this song. I've heard it at least 3 times in person and each time there are new thrills and chills!!
'Secret Story' was Pat's solo project and as I recall Lyle Mays was busy doing his own thing, therefore he was not on the official album tour which I believe started in late 1992 and ended in Kansas City November 1993. I was there at the last SS concert and was so taken by the music that I sat in stunned silence after several songs.
Lyle Mays was not involved in the "Secret Story" tour, it's Jim Beard playing. Very good, too, but Lyle's even better. Listen to his incredible solo on on this tune for the "Travels" album
There has got to be some video of this tune from the Travels / Off-Ramp era. Its hard to imagine music more thrilling than the way it came out around then. I love all incarnations of PMB and other projects (best when they are playing from their own era...) but you're absolutely right, Mays' solo on that particular track is out of this world. So is Pat's.
And the fact that you're in your late 40s and have the spelling and grammar of one who just graduated Kindergarten should be testament(note the CORRECT spelling of the word!)to YOUR ignorance! ::sarcasam:: Really?! This is a music video!? Ohmygod!! If you didn't tell me that I would have NEVER guessed!! ::rolls eyes:: You banned me from your channel because you piss on the freedom of speech right; THAT'S why I'm banned!!
Since you took the typical CUNTservative/RepubliCANT way out and blocked me like the pathetic little pansy ass you are I'll reply to your comment on here. First off the Palins are nothing more than stupid, moronic Rednecks(Sarah herself stated that she loves to hunt!)!! Second I'm sorry that you consider me to be "throwing stones" when I'm simply commenting on what I heard on the NEWS(nope, it wasn't Faux "Fox" News)!! Than again you do hate facts so I'm NOT surprised!!
Such a rare thing in modern music - technology, technique, and raw, blazing talent combining seemingly effortlessly, none outbalancing the others - a performance that truly awes and inspires. The mediocre sound quality cannot mask the the vivid excellence herein embodied.
What dvd is this off of? I own ( Secret Storys,Speaking of Now,The Way Up,Imaginary Day, and We Live Here ) on dvd but yet never seen this exact version of Song for Bilbao on it.
When I hear this song I hear the Antonio Carlos Jobim undertones so clearly, he was a great mentor to Pat. He utilizes Nana Vasconcelos and Milton Nasciemento percussion and rhythm to the hilt on this whole cd. Another prime example of the vast travels you can experience with Mr. Metheny...so good, oh so good.

I wonder if Lyle loaned out his rig to Jim Beard to get the orchestrations just right.

This rocks. But who is on keys/piano? It's NOT Lyle Mays!

@andyinsdca - I think it's Jim Beard. His Wikipedia entry states that he toured the world with Pat Metheny's Secret Story project in 1992-93.

I love this song, I first heard it on a Metheny/Brecker albumn called 'Tales from the Hudson', they are both stellar on it and I highly recomend it.
Though Pat doesn't go quite so crazy on the studio recording, lol!

That album is "Songs from the Hudson". It's a good version of A song for Bilbao, but I love the original soundtrack. Both great anyway!!
