[emailnikyeowkyeow]

this song says it all. This is how diverse Pats music is all about. This song is more of a rock n roll than jazz. This is how they play with other stuff. Long lIve

I saw this group in Davis CA. in the late 70s, and this song wasn't yet released.

The original pat metheney is still the Gold Standard of his groups. I saw the first performance of this group in New York city and they smoked. Gottlieb and Egan gave this group an edge which can be seen on american Garage. this was the group that launced Pat metheney. And yes. Lyle Mays is an intregal part of the equation. Great musician and composer.

are you sure this is 1978? bc this song was released in 1980

[metamorphosis67]

@allforch17 Plenty of bands play their songs live for months or sometimes even years before they record them. They try it out live first or if they write it on the road they don't wait until they get in the studio 6 months down the road, they play the tune at rehearsals and soundchecks and start including it in the show to develope it, especially improvising musicians like PMG.

[allforch17]

@metamorphosis67 ok

[stephystills]

Mister Magic! A surprise behind every door! Love these guys! ALways have!

[B55Don]

I first saw this guy and his members in Spokane WA way back when...it was then and still today stands out as the best performance ever out of any single group or artist. Keep Drivin' Pat do love this music...SALUTE

[Medjai411]

Young Pat and Lyle. They were, are, and will always be amazing.

[Seattlecarnut]

The thing I like about music of this vintage is that there are no computerised musical instruments. A real drum kit, guitar, bass, and electric piano.

Cool video. They look like some kinda hippies form late 60's or sth ;)

[Hoontasan]

I got hooked on Metheny when he was with Gary Burton. It's amazing the journey he has taken since those early days. What a great musician and composer. The early PMG days were so much fun. Not many followers back then.

Dude, I was at a gig at the old Sanders Theater in Springfield, MA in April 81. Pat had already rolled out As Falls... a couple of years earlier. That night he played the rest of the album - a couple of months before its release - and several jams from Offramp. The place was half-full. The night was cold and gray. Freight trains barrelled by the place as we left. Awesome. Next thing I knew, the PMG was all about ice wine and pronouncements. Oh, well.
