[hypno59]

That hippie on the bass should learn to play in tune

[jazzsaavy]

thought that was neat how pat let mark take the handle for a good long while then lyle very unselfish of pat smart too makes the tune more enjoyable dont get me wrong love it when metheny lets it rip through an entirety of a song

[sheldonknowsall]

@YragQtip If you listen closely to the album, you can tell that April Wind is a different song, sort of introducing this one . . . for some reason they cut out the second half of this song during this performance. Second half is clearly missing here.

[bearman1210]

this is the end the other part april wind is the 1st part

[neysouza87]

Uhuulll

Muito bom!!

[tyson33300]

WHERE IS THE END PORTION OF THE SONG? WHY DOES NO ONE HAVE THE ENDING TO THIS SONG??? Please tell me I am very curious and want it so bad...

[KalimbaSpirit]

UnReal!!!! I saw this concert back in the days at UCSD.

[fledgehog]

[jrl53]

Great post! Thanx!

[elrockydelsiglo]

the best album

[Quad826]

that is just so awesome man. totally wicked. grade A all the way.

[pmgnut]

This entire album tells a story.Every tune moves me in ways no other music on earth can. I can listen to this over and over and over again.

[shpidoinkle]

lol; I have to agree. Every time I hear the first notes of the "Group Album", I'm like an addict, I have to listen to the whole thing. It really cool to hear these songs live, and hearing these guys express these songs a little differently.

[nicbos]

@pmgnut : I totally agree. This music have been the best to me in early uears, and still make me crying.

[arsofe]

Like many people, this is how I first knew the Metheny group, one of my fovourite songs of that period, thank you so much for posting.

[mpadierna]

Mark Eagan on Bass Awesome tune!! Like to see them reunite!!! True Classic and by the Way if you are a True Pat Metheny Fan this cd is a must have!!

It is the first album under the PMG name!!

Lyle is a Monster!!!

[lynn151haj]

Wow! I love this song when I was much younger (like 30 years ago). This is indeed a rare footage of Pat, Mays and Jaco in their youthful exuberance and energy. . .

Thank You.

[riverwitha]

second nature, great jam

[bearman1210]

look how young these guys were!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bibivox]

some one know what's Pat setup, i know he use an acoustic 134 but i belive to see different effect in bleu rack, ?

[PolicePeople]

not sure about that, but he also used early lexicon digital delay units.

[greenkey20]

Wow. I love this video. Thank you so much!

I could say that 'April Joy' is the song of my life, the best music I've heard, and this live performance is just what I've dreamt of watching. I hope to hear it live in their concert someday.

They are really young in the video :)

[eaglefly66]

I really love the original line up!

[rauldukeIII]

Man! Thank you so much for posting these early videos. I really became a fan in late 79 early 80 and, though there are many pictures, never saw any film. What a great period of time for them and for jazz. Hope you have even more! Thanks again.

[gondito]

What a great band. The improvisation inside the architecture of his tunes is the genius of Pat & Lyle. Mark and Dan shine when it is their turn. What a dynamic rhythm section. Thanks for posting this.

[Kailas108]

Whoaaa ! Never has seen before this images from Pat , I've seen them in Paris in 1982 but Danny Gotlieb and Mark weren't there , instead was Pedro Aznar, Paul Wertico and Steve Rodby..;not bad too , but this a true image + earmeal moment with the original guys. Thanks Sitiofandot !!

[dirtyoldmanxxx]

Thanx!!

Vintage Pat!

I stil love his early stuff so much!

[sethtriggs]

Great great great video, thanks!

[matiasluna]

year??

thanks

[sethtriggs]

1980 judging by the other Onkel Pos videos (and the equipment)

[moharabatta]

pat metheny , marg egan (BASS) dan gottlieb(drums)and sir. lyle Mays

[moharabatta]

nice one!

[collss24]

Could any1 help me and tell me how does that bassist get that sound?? Thanx

[Chileanskies]

basically that's the sound of a fretless bass

[joffyjazz]

That bass sounds extra good because Jaco applied his magic to it for Pat. It's actually Metheneys bass and Mark had to give it back when he left the group.

[Kailas108]

I've heard that Jaco's bass was stolen from the freight in a south american trip in the 90'. Don't now if it is true but the robber must have that like kind a "Gioconda" at home !

[keno21176]

always nice to see rare concert footage of the 'oldies'. I noticed in this version they don't segue into the Phase Dance-esque ending like on the album. Still, I enjoyed the solo improvs.

[mojalewastopa]

..excellent..this tune reminds me the best years of my life..masterpiece!..thanks for uploading..
