Pat metheny Group Live: The Way Up ...part 4

[deck02hand]

Cant deny quality in this one straight on!!!

i got the dvd of the way up live, whilst the concert was superb my only gripe was the exclusion of the ending on the original recording it was beautiful and understated

Guitarists never get their full due in jazz. If this was done by a saxophonist, trumpeter or pianist they'd be raving about it like they did with Love Supreme, Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew. This is a ground breaking piece of work.

I saw the concert in June 2005 at Villa Franca Italy, near Verona, played during a moonlit night in the courtyard of a medieval castle surrounded by a moat...does anyone have any video from that magical night?? I recall it was a three hour concert, the first half The Way Up, the second half started with Pat alone, with each successive tune featuring one musician more until the entire PMG was on stage playing many many tunes from the PMG repertoire. Pure magic!

Steve Rodby's fretless bass is reminiscent of maestro Eberhard Weber who had a big influence on the sound of PMG

I have listened to this piece many many times and never grow tired of it. Pat and the band are playing on such an incredibly deeep and spiritual level that mere words do not

do justice:)

I saw this show live as I have seen at least 1 show from each every PMG tour since 1982 and I own this DVD and I cant pick 1 section over any other as they are all so incredible. There is the Pat Metheny Group and then there is everybody else....

[apacanis69]

i love all his music i would love to go to one of his concerts

between 3.08 and 3.15 watch methenys guitar cord, looks like the piece is from two takes!

[diederikeggenkamp]

@seriously228 nah, that's because of Metheny's awesome guitar techs :P

[artbychristine]

Can't help but marvel at how Pat had his in him - found it , "heard" it - made it real for the world.... what does that feel like....?

[redcloud301]

that drum solo is crazy awesome! Pat Metheny Group is one of the best groups ever

I saw this live in CT in 2005, OMG I was truly mesmerized. I was with my son who is a jazz musician. So glad I could share this experience with him.

Bummed that he is only touring with trio and quartet right now - saw him at a small venue in Easton PA years ago and he played 3+ hours straight - the best live performance I've seen.

[cybermiguelo]

The beginning was just so intimate....

Perfect example of not how many notes you play or how fast........ it's what you play.
