Pat Metheny Group - (It's Just) Talk (live '88)

[vegastyphoon]

Getting Grammy's is an every day thing for this guy. Amazing !

[SpecialRoadieV]

This was my first Metheny Group Tour, "Still Life" saw it in Summer, Boston 1987, and same tour in Fall of 87' Blows my mind to this day!

[sistalinda]

@SpecialRoadieV I know what you mean. Same thing happend to me when I saw him in 82.

[showtytony]

Pat Metheny is a master at the gregorian, latin, and afro cuban compositional chant. His musicianship is truly one of a kind. His music is classically timeless. Damn, the Pat Metheny group was, is and always will be BAD!

[dpernice]

that's Lyle best live performance ever!

[8thebadboy]

i just typed anything in and this came up lol =p

[8thebadboy]

[corderosa1]

This is my favorite song. I love it!

[babinm]

Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny a true Cyrano Debergerac tale.

[belartful]

[lucbear]

[gianotts]

FANTASTIC LYLE SOLO!!!!!!!!!

[pretorious700]

this is foreshadowing of things to come...Pat has never stopped growing

[itis4u2nv]

This is a wonderful mix of an exotic melody, with fantastic harmonies over a driving killer rhythm! I remember this Pat Metheny tune from years back and it's great to hear it again!

[bulletcurtain]

Is it just me, or are those space invaders on the background display?

[nomonkeymind]

@bulletcurtain hahahah... yes! space invaders! :) what the hell´s that all about?

[olivercarlehed]

totally awesome, 10 stars if this wasn't awfully mixed ......

[gnukev]

This has got to be one of Metheny's coolest tunes.

[Mauroprogful]

Vedere quello che trasmettevano alla TV anni fa , e confrontarlo con la spazzatura di oggi , da' il senso di come siamo messi male!! :-(

[jetking2]

Great stuff..Lyle Mays....Pat...

[waynenduane]

[waynenduane]

[GOreelz]

 watch?v=vr78ISrTElE

[jetking2]

Lyle Mays is great. He is one of the reasons the Pat Metheny is so good!

[tagliatelleapranzo]

Altri tempi la RAI, questo era DOC un programma televisivo quando la televisione si chiamava TELEVISIONE. adesso beccatevi l'isola dei famosi. che tristezza!

io ho ancora la video cassetta della registrazione del concerto di pat matheny, na figata. ciao

[grigiopellegrino74]

@tagliatelleapranzo mi viene da piangere al ricordo di qaunte cose belle davano.... e adsso ?! ... qualche culo e qualche tirata di capelli ;(

[miki2676]

@tagliatelleapranzo me lo ricordo bene anch io, mi sono fatto prestare la VHS e l ho consumata da quanto l' ho vista

[albertosj64]

¿Por qué gritan los cantantes?, Un tema tan hermoso, pero....

[omnipota]

@albertosj64 no es que griten, el sonido es algo "eufórico" por un defecto técnico del video..... además no olvidemos que el tema original fue grabado por nuestro querido PEDRO AZNAR........como su voz ninguna.

[ibanflo33]

Questo era un programma con la direzione artistica di "RENZO ARBORE" condotto dal grande GEGE' TELESFORO.......altri tempi......purtroppo. Si chiamava "DOC" e andava in onda nel primo pomeriggio. Gli artisti come in questo caso venivano in trasmissione per più giorni consecutivamente.

[onnisciente]

cioè...facevanno queste cose su raidue??? altri tempi.....ora c'è l'isola e chille mmuort....

sdegno

[Yola223]

You killed it Lyle!! :-D

[belartful]

Well ,women have to be a little fucked up sir...otherwise we all wouldnt be here! all said...why dont you just enjoy the music? One of my favorite pieces by this group FANTASTICO!

[sjking92]

is that pedro singing?

[islamagica]

David Ramires and Mark Ledford, vocals and guitars.

Armando Marçal, percussion.

Ateve Rodby, bass.

Paul Wertico, drums.

I' really dont' recognize the others....rsrsrsrs !!!

[TWCMax]

@sjking92 IDK.

[hondadog8]

Happy holidays to you too.

[mccormickbom]

Hondadog8..right back @ you. Hope your holidays were blessed, treasured...enjoyable.

Being a single, 57 year old guy, not presently in any relationship, mine was uneventful. Sad-to-Say...

But the purpose of my sending this to you isn't to garner sympathy. Far from it! I've had my share of women, and have, sadly come to this conclusion: They're all fucked-up!

Okay, sexest politics outta' the way, now Oops. I'm being ommitted!

[hondadog8]

Hey mccormickbom,

Antonio wasn't there at the beach that day.

You are obviously into some really great musicians. I only wish I could have seen Antonio Carlos Jobim in concert before he passed away. I'm thankful that his music lives on.

[hondadog8]

I first saw the Pat Metheny group at a FREE concert on the beach in Miami. Also on stage that day was Michael Franks. Man, it doesn't get any better than that.

[mccormickbom]

Hondadog8...

You're right. Few know of the soothing, melodic sounds resultant from Michael Franks' "pipes"! I commend your musical tastes.

Though, I might make a suggestion to "better-the-show".

Antonio Carlos Jobim would be the icing-on-the-cake!!!

Happy holidays, my friend.

[mccormickbom]

Lucky Dog..!

[Intelliguy15]

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

[bowiedj]

I wonder why Pat doesn't wear stripes....

[LondonBassPlayer]

The drummer is Paul Wertico, who played with the Group from 1983 to 2001

[uriangatobataclan]

Who's that on drums? I can't recognize him...

[pintorifrancesco]

Magnifica esecuzione, un pezzo di grande pregio, una perla..

[Bigtimezillionaire]

It looks like this is from when they were touring with Will Smith.

[Bigtimezillionaire]

the drummer is ridiculous. his kit is totally unnecessary...

[Intelliguy15]

@Bigtimeezillionaire I love this song to death!!!!!!!!!!!

[creatornat]

@Intelliguy15 ..I know what you mean, I sing along whenever the vocalists come in. :)

[twcmusicfan]

@Bigtimezillionaire Kiss My Ass.

[Vitimk12]

excellent,what could we expect from so high level musicians?Pat is a genius.

[bradley1107]

lyle mays is sooo sick

[melantoriano]

truly great piano solo!!....

[melantoriano]

DOC..bei tempi!...

[hanhensbart]

lyle mays is a monster

[premidlifecrisis]

When i was younger I didn't understand what was goin on in this beautiful music... but i knew it was as close 2 perfect as i've ever heard... and i 1st heard this played on a Buffalo jazz radio station... but didn't kno who this wonderful group was... so i'd wait 4 it 2 come on each night b/c remember this was pre internet and if u didn't catch the name u were basically screwed...haha anyways... now in my late 30's i can finally do this music justice...thx 4 this awesome video Chileanskies!!!!

[razrX]

oh this is soooo brazilian... amazing how this bunch of gringos got it so right... pat is the man!!!

[TheBrassHole]

Go fuck yourself racist...

[bradley1107]

its not really a racist term, especially not in brazil.

[godspider33]

What the classic perhaps one of the best albums that Metheny group did ...

[raymennoodle]

pat metheny is going to be guest appearing at a music workshop this summer...right?

[KrazyGreen17]

my 10th grade class is playing this for our concert this thursday

[gwg5640]

I remember when I had a jazz radio show about the time this album came out--I listened to this very tune for first time and was hooked to Pat's music. I even played it occasionally on air and would almost always have someone call me and ask, "who is that"? True story. Additioanlly, I absolutely love the brazilian rift to it. Just an awsome tune.

[PeteMidg]

Yes it's great! First time I've heard this too, which is a surprise to me, since I've been listening to PMG for a few years now. The first piano interlude reminded me a little of what Herbie does on Reggae over 9.

[theeggman84]

wow, just amazing...

[maverick1168]

Lyle, that's swing!!

[vimaury]

This is one of my favorites from PMG if not my favorite. I love the Brazilian melody and wordless vocals.

[tderrell7]

what kind of guitar is pat playing or what is the tuner?

[CBLA009]

its a roland synth driver they are not being made anymore.

[CBLA009]

Point of clarification the synth driver guitars are not being made anymore by roland. Pat has two I belive. Roland does make synth driver pickups that can be placed on almost any guitar. Newer pickups also have less pins for the midi hook up. Take care tderrell7

[theeye7]

Close your eyes,then imagine yourself being transported on the celestial railway aboard the magnificent universal space train!First stop the galaxy of The Qeriorixians of the khewa system.A tour of all of it's heavenly and majestic planets and witness all of it's gloriful and visually stunning landscapes it's saphire mountains and its awesome towering monolith as well as the derudian lakes of pure energy that cascades into a nova waterfall over the sacred mountain of Saru!appreciate Teamac

[peekrd]

all i can say is damn!!!!! this is truly a great song and even better performance!!!

[SpecialKaa]

Truly a masterpiece....

[remack40]

Those folks in the crowd got a rare treat,I have been to at least 10 PMG concerts going back to the secret story tour,and have never seen them perform this classic track.Great Post!

[betterdressed]

WOW!

[jaxflyer55]

saw him first back in the 70's with just a quartet,lyle,dan,mark and him.up close in a small club in philly.blew me away,seen him about 8 times since.

[govcedric]

I have been following Pat since 83' .. I had PBS on and heard this unique sound in my living room and it was Pat. His sounds trancends all ages and music styles.

I really believe that he is in tune with God when he writes and plays. his music is out of this world.

A special shout out to all of the younger followers of Pat and his music legacy.

[laurentgaleazzi]

NOOOO!!! that's his piano who is little!!!

[MattUmassLowell]

lyle mays' hands are so big its kind of scary

[GanjaGabe]

daaaaaamn that is one amazing piano solo.

[GanjaGabe]

this is my favorite song, at the moment.

soo beautiful.

[rawmaster514]

There is somthing very transending about their music. its just man...Theres nothing like Pat.

[gmcummings]

Thanks for posting Chileanskies. Still Life is a great album to listen to on long trips in the car in the summer time. PMG is AWESOME!

[lovejazz1211]

One of the coolest Metheny tunes. It just puts me in such a good mood.

[carlos3765]

Lyle Mays is no slouch, either! His solo was brilliant.

[altonoir]

wow! Pat is a god!

[misslittlemomma]

I so love this song

[misslittlemomma]

You have good taste Intelliguy86.. :-)

[misslittlemomma]

I do too. Listen to it like it came out yesterday!! Jamming in my car and the house.. ROCK ON PAT Metheny..

[WeatherSTARXLv2]

This is such a wonderful song misslittlemomma. I love this song better than my favorite Disney show. (House of Mouse).

[TWCMax]

@misslittlemomma Me too!!!

[dlsofsetx]

I like Pat Metheny,too.

[DavidKingV]

This song is wonderfull and these colours in harmony are magic...

[n2motocross]

Another masterpiece by the Jazz Master and my influence in picking up the guitar in the first place..Pat Metheny.

[winwoodking]

My favourite album 'still life', brilliant track. Cheers

[mikeroephonics]

Still Life (talking) was my first Metheny CD and is easily my favorite. Just a solid album all-around. I have purchased nearly all of his work.

[winwoodking]

Letter from Home comes a close second though. cheers

[squonkdh]

Agreed, Letter from home was incredible...better than this one I think.

Nothing beats San Lorenzo though

[Dalpm]

tengo este concierto. es en el DOC. muy bueno!

[biagini]

espectacular

[actinstyle]

pure lightness.magic.all of them.

[maverick1168]

Lyle...what great solo!!!!
