  • This recording reaches deep in the soul and pulls on you hard to feel the passion of maybe a love lost or the hope and dream of a new love. This to me is Pat Methey's master piece.

    It is a monster of a recording that I can never get enough. Cheers Pat!

  • now, thats some serious masturbation going on there...

  • Each version of this number seems to be different... it always inspires to go on a road trip though! It tugs... it pulls... let's go somewhere! Far! Just like Aretha's Daydreamin'.

    Pat is als Paganini, maar dan een duivelskunstenaar op de gitaar. :)

  • ceux qui aiment pas allez chier criss!!dieu a creer des gens avec des talents hors du commun!!!

  • Superb!

  • Amo Pat M. G. Perfeito Som.

    Just perfect!!!

  • Those 19 dislikes should stay with Lady Gaga and Mr. Bieber.

    They will never learn.

  • people are becoming too obsessed with dislikes and likes instead of just listening

  • I didn't know anyone could make a guitar sound like that. AWESOME!!!

  • This is from the Pat Metheny Group "Offramp" album.circa early 1980's

  • All I have to say is;Pat Meteny is one of the greatest guitarists alive.Period.I have seen and heard him play in every genre since 1982.I have seen him 13 times,from Ornette Coleman to the original Pat Metheny Group with Danny Gottlieb.His brilliance will be appreciated for years to come.

  • Can someone please tell me what his amp setting is? I really like how it sounds like sax (':

  • @LuciferDante6666 he uses a roland guitar synthesizer

  • Y his guitar sound like sax? :O

  • FROMHEREONDIGITALCONTINUANCE,,­,...];;

    

  • I had this Roland GR-300 too bad I sold it.

  • NO WORD, FUCK. HE IS TEH BEST OF EVER.

  • @GabryCineMusic AGREED...

  • I just LOVE the saxophone solo in this track... talk about elegant jazzy phrasing!

  • i guess when you are as perfect in every way as metheny is you can just pick a sweater up off the floor, sniff the pits and go headline an orchestral performance! : )

    way to go Pat, always remarkable!!

  • Profound, complex in it's longing,in it's haunting, pulsating drive, with such evocative humanness. Thank You for creating this and to you for posting it here on YouTube for us to find and become possessed.

  • Enhance your listening pleasure, listen to it with the lights out at night, with the volume turned way up! Just magical...

  • was this ever released officially as an audio track?

  • @metalmanjfisch

    No, this comes from dutch television.

  • Making every performance inspirational. Timeless!

  • for me listening such music is tiring, though i'm aware of how great musicians pat and his band are.

  • picture a summer landscape. I'm sure that a man who can compose this, must really have a huge heart. Thank you for what you gave/give us Pat, I know you will never read this but I would really like you to know that your music made me fall in love with you. If I were a woman, you'd surely be the man I wanted to marry, i'm not kidding.

  • What I feel when listening to this song is really unexplainable with words, and I'm not saying this just to be poetical. I get a mix of emotions, passions, memories, images, feelings, sensations, even fears. I can't really explain this one: I used to be afraid to listen to this song, sometimes I still do, i don't know why, that's surely weird, maybe it is because it makes my brain sink in a sea of emotions, it gets me to memories which don't really exist. The samba feeling somehow makes me

  • Pat is near robotic in his playing in this solo.............almost inhuman how some one could play so faulessly way yet have such soul and depth of character to the selection of notes and bends, slides.......you name it.............and I always loved the roland synth sound hooked up to that great Ibenez musician series guitar.............

    Wonderful stuff just wonderful..........

  • Fantastyczna muzyka w doskonałym wykonaniu. Kocham twórczość Pata Metheny. Czym byłby ten głupi świat bez takich ludzi jak on?

  • This is unbelievable, almost unbearable, such charged longing, and intelligence, like being awake in the best 10 minutes you can get.

    Thanks for posting this so we can experience the richness of Pat's music.

  • Alte Neuentdeckung für mich. Tut einfach wieder richtig gut, Musik zum träumen zuzuhören. Pat Metheny, best medicane, best souldoctor, thank you...

  • Hey always looks sunburnt

  • When Pat came on the jazz scene he was a game changer. I marveled at his skill then, and I marvel now. He has had a huge influence on my own playing, and in helping me find my own voice.

  • @JamKar1 YOU read LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO PASS ON.

  • I SAW FRANK ZAPPA IN CONCERT LAST WEEK, YOU COULD SEE GOD SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE.

  • このバージョン良いね。すばらしいボレロに近い。

  • I recommend using Media Outlet Online for doonnlooading fffreeee m..uzzic like this. You should try and search it using Yahoo.

  • Marc Sholten's soprano solo is gorgeous. He makes that Selmer mk VI ooze honey.

  • i like pat. i like how he started. but i gotta admit, didn't like how he ended this. wish somewhere in the middle of his badass solo his synth sound turned back to guitar. it was killer building up the song but it just overpowered the smooth feel of the song by the end.

  • OK14U....

    

  • i like it how instead of bending the string he just slides the notes with his fingers.

  • this is just amazing.....

  • nonononoo woooww!!!!!! metheny toca excelente..!! an amazing guitarrist..!!!

  • I like so much the music of this master of the guitar....specially abuot her sounds.....take me to another world....I know Pat a 25 years ago moreless and then never, ever I forgot his music...always is with me..in my car when I get to the work or in my home........sorry for my english ..I'm from Chile, La serena...a little city on north

  • Totalmente genial, en tu mente hay un gran don mi hermano

  • Timeless emotional classic ..

  • At 1:15 I saw Clapton playing clarinette

    Lol

  • landing at L.A.X years ago when i was at a young, young age. Little did i know i would be driving through big sur at sunset with this playing.

  • @No1WaveRider ... sounds sublime !

  • i´m in love with music, playing guitar, metheny´s music, and I like the fact that I can see Steve Vai´s song "for the love of god" on the very top of the list of related videos. I don´t know why it´s there. But I like it. Music is beautiful and brings joy to life.

  • The sounds of Pat Metheny are beautifully mesmerizing.

  • best 9:10 minutes of my life...

  • Pat plays with his soul... It is so beautiful!

  • 17 stupids idiots; negative votes.... haha ... I feel sorry for them

  • people ask me what is Jazz

    i said Jazz = Pat Metheny = truth art

  • Vreselijk dat Metropool orkest, dat zijn geen musici, maar muziekambtenaren.

  • why his Guitar sounds like a violin? wtf!! good pad i think... AWESOME!

  • here's a guy who likes his job

  • fuck yeah

  • needs a "love" button

  • needs a "love" button

  • I've listened to Pat's group since college. A professional musician myself, I continue to be moved and inspired by this man's unique perspective on music. His skills, vision, and taste is beyond description. He paints atmospheric sounds that defy classification. I don't know how he, or his player, count or remember so much of the complexity of his arrangements. Watch the DVD: Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up - Live. You will be thrilled by what these guys do!

  • @BRGradyTate255 Could not agree more, Metheny is conterminous with almost no other musician.

  • These guys are unequaled. I've been in love with them since '79.

  • PM is a very wise player and performer. He is perfect of catching the exact music situation he is involve in. That is a meaning of pure talent.

  • How can he massage spirit so well? Finest musical minds indeed. PM is in a zone of true genius and creativity.

  • The orchestra's members are plain awed by his performance. What a musical genius this guy is!

  • Sounds more like a horn, which is the sound he was going for.

  • His guitar sort of sounds like a violin. Weird I know, but sometimes true in this performance.

  • Well, who is coming with me on a most elegantly composed magic carpet ride? Timeless longing put to music, thank you Maestro Methany, love your music so much!

  • This is the best piece of instrumental music I ever heard in my life. I've been a Pat fan since I first heard this in the early 1980s......Bless you, Mr. Metheny!

  • Yes, Tripleps, "god" gifted Pat. Of course She hates many other people. That's why She kills them off in floods, famines, tsunamis, earthquakes, accidents and disease. Tough to figure Her out, huh?

  • @boblpage Let's say that She still gets her "moon cycle."

  • Did anyone notice that at about 6:57 the orchestra stops playing. and are just like "Oh My God....". I mean look at their faces!

  • @NoviceOfTheRock yes, the brass section stops for a while, while most of the rest of the orch keeps going. Notice the musicians are really enjoying while trying to make sure they don't lose the count of where they're supposed to reenter! Such is the challenge of a musician--express emotion through the music, but maintain 'just enough' control to be able to play!

  • I grabbed Offramp from my sister whom I was visiting in Glasgow to listen to in the car while I was driving up thru the Scottish highlands, it was pure magic and meant to be. I'll never forget that day.

  • A slightly different way/version not bad!....love Metheny man...FFS...GOD!.

  • fantastico!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that "sax" sounding effect for the guitar is one of the coolest guitar sound settings ive ever heard. if someone knows the formula, MUST SHARE.

  • @damv04 you'll need a synth guitar

  • 7:13 through 7:19 always gets me! Awesome!

  • the dude on soprano is good but metheny still somehow makes him look amateur. This guy is the best soloist I've ever heard, on any instrument.

  • still the best version on the tube.. watch the members in the orchestra nod to each other, acknowledging Methenys great emotional playing... 10/10

  • Bellissima!

  • What a great solo Pat does on this!His phrasing is incredible!

  • @RaymondFRevalee Seriously man, this music means so much to some people. Just because you don't like it does'nt mean you can hurt other people's feelings. NOW GTFO TROLL

  • I was sitting in the Kanye, Botswana, in 1989, thinking I was a long way from home when a BMW pulled up playing this song. I wasn't as far from home as I'd thought.

  • I can see all the losers who get offended, popping this tune into their cd players and having some really cheesy sexual episode like a bad soap opera scene of lame 70's porno. "pass me the wine honey cakes lets listen some Metheny and get our grove on, oh please hit floor #3 on the elevator, thanks so much"

    LOLOLOL

  • @RaymondFRevalee This is entertaining to read.

  • There's nothing worse than arrogant self righteous "jazz masters" on the internet, they are as bad as the classical music snobs. Using some "famous" musicians as weapons to justify your own lack of self worth is beyond pathetic.

  • Pure genius. Jazz classic

  • ci sono 16 fan di giggidalessio :)

  • @RAymondFRevalee lol, HORRID TONE? You're not only saying untrue things, but also you're embarrasing yourself, pratically telling everyone "hello guys, i started playing guitar 2 years ago, jazz sucks"

  • I forgot I had this hidden in the attic from my kids... thank for you tube

  • One of the finest musical minds, bar none.

  • @Raymondfrevalee you are absolutely mental

  • horrid soloing, the tone, technique sounds like a dying cat.

  • @RaymondFRevalee you know all that negativity is gonna shorten your lifespan. Keep it up. 

  • @Aepotheosis you know nothing about life douche... just because i don't worship Pat Metheny and his horrid dying elephant sounding soloing has absolutely nothing to do with my lifespan or yours retard. Plus there is nothing original about some guy like Metheny ripping on south american music grove, and doing it poorly. There are thousands of musicians that could solo over this better than him and not use the worst sound ever created to do it. It sounds like a torture device.

  • @RaymondFRevalee no, I mean stress releases cortisone which has been shown to shorten your lifespan. You know nothing about science nigger...

  • this is fantastic listened to it 2 times now

  • @Cody15241 - Well put. I'll hold back personal experience with Pat because no one ever believes it, but suffice to say, he is a channel...

  • @thebunniez I do

  • L'ennesima prova che Pat è un genio: nel passaggio in cui cambia tonalità (5:20) in questo caso aspetta l'orchestra, mentre di solito lo anticipa di almeno due secondi ... fantastico.

  • pat metheny - the genius of the 20 - 21st century!!!

  • pat metheny - the genius of 20 - 21st century!!!

  • This music is visionary with a touch sadness and hope.This man is genious,original with no equal.

    To the 15 morons who don't like this,learn to respect all forms of music.

  • He simply plays in the moment. Amazing!

  • holy mo....ker every Roland GR-303 must be sold with Pat inside the box, otherwise you are wasting your money ....

  • this piece is my fav. because it has so much emotion i cry and feel good at the same...this piece is a journey''' a song of deep introspection

  • is it me or his guitar jumps one octave higher after 5:30

  • @denissymbolic: He's playing his famous Roland synthesizer guitar and shifts it into another mode right at the spot that you've identified. You can see him step on the foot switch right about at 5:30 as you mentioned.

  • Dedicate this song to my beloved sister..and to all of the friends out there getting ready for this saturday night fever.

    Love Like You Have Never Loved Before, Live Like Every Breath Is Your Last One, & Dance Like Nobody Is Watching!

  • Love it! This is one of the most expressive Metheny tunes.

  • Ahhh look, real musicians! yay!

  • I saw him play back in 1978 or 1979 at North Texas University in Denton, Texas. A somewhat small audience. My husband went back stage and spoke to him and played his guitar. Pretty cool stuff!!

  • This is the best version of Are you going with me that I've heard.

  • <3, <3, <3!

  • Beyond gifted!.....

  • I like the look on the face of the guys,behind in the brass section :P

  • Pat Metheny - guitarist, musician, composer extraordinaire!!

  • It's diving stuff this is. He should be outlawed for making music lovers have multiples without their consent.

  • @ujwalaraj

    ?

  • I've watched him since he began in the 70's and he still brings tears to my eyes and an aching in my heart for his God gifted music.

  • Incredible! Pat Metheny is just in a class all by himself!

  • @edteaches BRAVO, SONO D'ACCORDO CON TE!!!

    E' TOCCATO DA DIO.....

    Sono circa 25 anni che lo conosco e seguo, ed ogni volta che lo ascolto mi avvicina a DIO.....

    è questo che la musica dovrebbe fare.....

    lui con Lyle Meys sono la voce di DIO....

  • Good, but not as good as with the Pat Metheny group in it's entirety.

  • Very good live stuff from First Circle

    But Pat is always good live

    infact his band and those who

    are part of his music are always

    very good

  • 12 mentally retards gave this THUMBS DOWN??? WTF???

  • i like this kind of direction.

    what a great travel across musician's mind, i love that song.

    by the way, who knows the guitar's name, please someone tell me.

    bye.

  • This is the way like musicians like Metheny have orgasms.

  • lol !

    agree with mangonit ...

    fabio capello played music at 1:10

  • Bloke at 1:10 looks like Fabio Capello

  • Bravo!

  • 7:10 climax!

  • @raguivilla 3:48 - 8:30 climax!

  • The Sax player is fgk outstanding!!!!!!!

  • Amazing to me that the audience did not erupt into a standing ovation after this masterpiece! Brilliantly played!

  • they even got John Scofield to direct lol

  • @bluesmysoul lol

  • ha ha 4:06 trobone section grooving with the master!!!!!

  • gosh, i hope he didn't pee his pants

  • Pat has some pretty impressive fans,including Earl Klugh,Craig Chaquico,BoB James,Brian Hughes,and Paul Hardcastle.....Know thats a Heavy Duty following !

    Thanks PMG

  • This music takes you on a voyage to the 5 dimension were only beautiful sounds and love exist.This is a superb and timeless composition.

  • When we think about what heaven is like , this song takes you on a journey that leads us on the path , one step at a time. This is so soothing and very creative. I have admired this song for so many years, thanks Pat Methany for such a beautiful melody.

  • Comment removed

  • Great soprano sax solo too!

  • Great composition.

  • Great music but is he too commericalized? His music has been in a number of movies.

  • @USAisAntiWhite Commericalized? Who cares if he is or not. Hard to top this man, pure originality.

  • Senza parole...che meraviglia !

  • only the best play at North Sea Jazz Festival

  • I'm crazy about Pat Metheny Group!!!! I live in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil and I don't

    understand why he never more wanted to come here... All teh times he came here

    I went to see them... He makes the best sound I ever heard in my life (especialy

    LIVE)

  • CUDNE !!!!!!!!, SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Orchestration score of original a bit 'rigid' until about 2 MIN 20 SEC with the 1st solo...I love this song anyway and enjoy hearing Pat play it different ways...have any of you compared some of his original recordings (live and recorded) against this? It's a very interesting ... especially when comparing flares like at 5 mni 35 sec.

    Thanks Desweef for posting this! +-)

  • Par coeur, je connais ce morceau

  • Se me caen las lágrimas...

  • This song basically sums up why this guy is MY no. 1 musician OF ALL TIME, No other musicain plays with my emotions more than this guy......................ENJOY­!! ;-]

  • I've been seeing Pat perform since the days of Bright Size Life...at Baker's Keyboard Lounge in Detroit...he was sublime then...now he's otherworldly...he's beyond. I saw him during the Orchestrion Tour in May 2010, he used the same guitar, the same tone doing a improvisation...damn it, he blew the building up.

  • A shiver through me when I hear this....sublime.

  • Excelente..!!!

  • The whole orchestra doesn't touch me emotionaly as much as the solos do.

  • @guitarplayer1994 The orchestra adds color...it kicks into another gear @5:20.

  • @BLUTOV surely it does but they all seem to be quite bored...

  • All I can say, is that I've listened to his music since the summer of 1980 when I was first introduced to it, and I've carried it with me all over the world. I never get tired of it, no matter where I am. His music is PURE...
