Pat Metheny Group - Farmer's trust - live in japan

[garydmclean]

Delicate, delicious, sumptuous, silky, emotional, damn near perfect. If you love Farmer's Trust, you must also hear Letter from Home. Both are hypnotic and virtuoso compositions.

[flacobass]

That song from the Deer Hunter is called "Cavatina"... another beautiful song and melody.

[dynmohum]

This sounds like the song they played during the closing credits of "The Deer Hunter".

昔見た映画「ファンダンゴ」のラストに使われていました。この映­画も曲も大好きでした。drewinator 3 さんのコメントはその最後のセリフですね。久しぶりに聞けて嬉し­かったです、ありがとう！

[seabobinsd]

I'm in heaven when I listen to this tune:)

[seabobinsd]

the emotion and depth of Pat's playing on the particular tune is beyond words:)

[augenbutter]

try pat's "dream of the return" leonard cohen's "here it is" just like great music, great words will always have their place time.

[MrGravito]

Pat sévèrement critiqué par beaucoup, lui-meme sévèrement critique envers certains,à juste titre d'ailleurs!!!

[MrGravito]

Chaque matin est une nouvelle vie qui commence!

[nonewmccarthyism]

Lyle's background tones and guidance for this melody is beyond quantum.

[MrGravito]

sublime

[ephipi]

NorthLight68, I couldn't agree with you more. Pat has truly transcended the instrument. It's all about the music. His compositions will stand the test of time. It's one to shred and show off pyrotechnics, it's another thing to tell a story with music. Pat has the gift above all others. Behind it all, you also know he has the fire power at his finger tips whenever needed. Most of the time less is more, he proves it here. Keep everything as simple as possible but no less. Easier said than done.

[Coolman9273]

@ephipi Right on..

[ramosvibes]

wow hear this???????

[maidoodesu]

very nice !  ですね...live in Japan...

[virginian2331]

I may have taken the time to comment on this wonderful video of Pat and Lyle's music before, but I listen to this so often, in so many moods, and yet it always rings true and beautiful. Why this music seems timeless is because it reflects both the beauty and the complexity of life at this point in time. This song can heal because it is outside of the boundaries of ego, and is just to be experienced. Thank you Pat, Lyle, Steve and the rest of the band, and thanks, KLaurent13 for keeping it here.

[fer66]

It is just sublime.

[blacklung7]

is that an acoustic or classical guitar?

[spongey222]

Acoustic. Classical is a style of music.

[argayall]

That's a Classical guitar - and the definition Classical stands for the three up strings being made of a kind of plastic and not metal as in acustic:)

[spongey222]

No it doesn't. That is a nylon string. The strings on this sort of guitar are nylon string, so it is a nylon string guitar. Steel string guitars have steel cored string. Both steel string and nylon string guitars are acoustic (Acoustic being defined as "Of or being an instrument that does not produce or enhance sound electronically") as apposed to an electric guitar. Classical guitar is a style of guitar which is played on nylon string acoustic guitars

[argayall]

haaa thanks for the info, i stand corrected

[spongey222]

Haha no worries ;)

[fretbuzz59]

> Classical guitar is a style of guitar which is

> played on nylon string acoustic guitars

Yes, but it's also a type of guitar, sometimes referred to as a Spanish gtr. And a Flamenco guitar is a style of nylon str guitar, which differs from a "regular" classical in its construction. That gtr of Pat's is an Ovation, which I might call simply a nylon string, since it's of nontraditional construction. Though typically "classical" is used as the generic term for nylon str guitar.

[fer66]

Tears roll down my cheeks, love remembered.

Thanks Kalurent13!

[NorthLight68]

What sets Pat apart from any contemporary "guitar god" type players is his music, which is always more important than his virtuosity. Pats melody's say more to me than any lyric ever written could.

[singelding]

@NorthLight68 I SO agree with you.. lyrics... they don't say me anything, neither can they make me FEEL anything - that is why dislike Bob Dylan, Tom Waits a.s.o. they just HURT my ears!

[joshuamarentes]

hermosa canzion...

el mejor guitarrista en felling!!

[aartman01]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard... heard it first back in 1984 from the "Travels" album and it changed my life. Call me a Methhead but I love Pat's music more than life itself. I can't imagine a day without listening to him play. Thanks Pat!

[pipi333]

perfection exists

[davell2222]

What I love in the original recording, aside from the song itself, is the sound of birds in the background, as if it was recorded outside on a summer's evening. Beautiful.

[virginian2331]

Peace and Love to all Meth-Heads from Xorxx and lineage. As you know, our plan is to bring Lyle and Pat home Dec.20, 012, and we are now offering limited space aboard our Mentor vehicles for humans who love their music so much they could not bear life without it. The trix, of course, is that only we know who really are those humans. We have our list and shall check it twice; do not be naughty, be nice; cool as ice; hearts must still be able to leap as a child's would for your Santa. Goodwill!

[astrowisk]

I heard this song for the first time from the record "Travels" (1982) and in that version Nana Vasconcelos played bird noises with a plastic toy... wonderful!

Thanks for the vid!

[mono1967]

...no words!!!!! from another world!!!!

[drewinator]

Man, it was great to hear this again...

Dorman?

Goodbye Friend...

...Have a nice life. 

: )

Thx for posting

[klaurent13]

thank you friend

[progrotech]

I just keep listening to the music in the Fandango Tribute here on Youtube, then I thought of this piece. Great to hear it. Where is Dorman now?

[fretless282828]

@drewinator My favorite movie !! So deep in how life changes us !!!!!

[andrewgrosman]

@fretless282828 right on! (hearing again as I type this gave me goosebumps / remember seeing that flick for the first time in the 80's)

[andrewgrosman]

@fretless282828 right on! Hearing this again gave me goosebumps - makes me remember seeing Fandango for the 1st time in the 80's.

[keeter1955]

@andrewgrosman

Oh, man! does that statement ever hit home with me. Fandango is probably my favorite movie of all time. The Pat Methany songs at the end are all so soothing...

[MrGravito]

@drewinator On s'comprend l'ami!Have a beautifull long nice life!!! It's 4 U!

[TheBubbaZinetti]

@drewinator

Great scene and great movie (for those who don't know, it's 'Fandango')

[crazyfleacircus]

So subtle in its beauty. It always brings me to a quiet place.

[ambientgerre]

Home at heart - genuine standard classic !

[rwmcjazz]

What can one say; this piece will be around one hundred years from now. That's what happens to best stuff.
