Probably one of the most important pieces of music along with Still life Talking. Lyle mays is one of the best and I would say is on the top of the list with Kit Watkins. That is saying alot!!
Oh wow, I haven't heard this since I got rid of all my cassette tapes. It sounds as amazing to me now as it did then. I guess it's time I get a CD or join the 21st Century and get an mp3 player...... :-}
I've loved this opus since I was first turned on to it back in the late 80s or early 90s when I was but a yound mann in my early 20s. So relaxing. Great to put on in the morning while drinking a cup of coffe and watching the sun rise. For that matter, great to put on anytime I feel inn need of finding a peaceful place inside of myself.
This is truly a classic of all time. I remember seeing the Pat Metheny Group with Lyle Mayes in 1984 doing their Offramp concert in Toronto with my friend Janice. This song really stands out.
You´re right bro..... It´s mind blowing... An as someone said... One never tires of this fantastic music. It´s something else. Tell you, There´s a healing factor to Metheny´s music.... It´s some sort of beautiful medicin, impossible to od. The more you listen to it the better you feel.
When John Lennon died he was 15 miles from my home in NYC...WNEW-FM played round the clock Beatles and Lennon songs....with he exception of 2....this...and Whitebird.....that was the begining of my discovery into Pat Methany and It's a Beautiful Day...it wasn't a beautiful week but it t'was another lesson in graditude of life for this 15 yr old!
Wow! All time classic... This album introduced me to the Pat Metheny Group and the rest is history.. I have every single records of him... because every album different and unique... It is true.. .this is pure Intelligent Music as its best. Overwhelming virtuosity. This track brings tears to my eyes of excitement.... Thank you so much "miglio100" for this outstanding upload. :)
still my fave Pat Metheny album!!!!! on Vinyl!!!!!! as well as all a huge portion of his works.... my fave jazz/fusion (names names names...) artist!!! Truly ethereal!!!!!
Through Naim/Bryston/Thorens and home-made transmission line speakers.... pure bliss!!!!! :)
this is the very first CD I ever owned! Brand new CD player (when CD players were not very common yet) and a brand new PMG CD to go with it. Bliss, pure bliss!
When I first heard this on the radio, I thought it was a new Weather Report song. When the DJ said the name then that it was by Pat Metheny I thought he had made a mistake. But sure enough, Pat was moving in a different direction. I for one was glad he did. When I bought the lp and heard it through my Infinity's it sounded better than I could have imagined. There is so much going on with song when heard through a decent system that you can't really describe it. THANKS.
I mean, anybody can say this about any song, but I mean it: this is probably my single favorite song of all time. As a boy, I grew up hearing this song over and over. Many of times, during the greatest moments of my youth. Many may consider it my history of good childhood with this song, but nothing feels as uplifting as hearing this song to me.
These two (Pat and Lyle) will, I'm certain, be remembered in musical history the same way Mozart - and other famous composers from long ago - are in the present.
On another note, I consider them my idols as far as both performance and composing go. They're somewhere that I hope to be some day.
Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays became household names among musicians with "the white album" (San Lorenzo, Phase Dance, etc.). Then with American Garage, the band was catapulted onto the pop charts! All of us hardcore musicians were scared their music would keep getting more watered down to suck in those album sales (CD's were not yet available then).
Then this album came out and I was mindblown they pulled something off like this at the top of their pop fame. Wow.
In addition to everything else, this album must the the ultimate driving music!
I have driven hundreds and hundreds of miles to this. One can just drive on and on!
