@RipplingOphelia If you get a chance check out the soprano sax solo on Hejira on the shadows and light album (it's not in the film ) it's the real deal by one of the Breckers I think.
Nice to see a very youthful Metheny playing his heart out. . . . he's such a kid here. . . but of course the playing is always there. . heartfelt, pretty, and then Lyle comes in making even the Oberheim patches sound good. . .and well. . a real treat!! This was quite a gathering a genius. . with of course Joni being the total surprise. .
Wow, Lyle's Oberheim backing in 2:03~2:18 is same as 'September 15th(Dedicated to Bill Evans)', From Pat & Lyle's duo album 'As Falls Wichita, So falls Wichita Falls'.
I've always loved that- is any of that (Pat and Lyle's segment) on any of Pat's early albums? I've heard parts of songs on some of his albums that sound similiar. If not, I think this concert might be on CD.
I don't know what it is about his music but he has such expression when he plays. I haven't hear his latest release but he is willing to take chances. He made me a fan of Jazz.... unlike Kenny G who almost turned me off to Jazz.
Pat's phrasing in this solo sounds as if it's coming out of the American Garage recording sessions....I wonder if he recorded that album shortly after this video....
pat metheny and lyle mays are the reason I love THE RAMONES and THE SEX PISTOLS SOOOOOO MUCH,smooth jazz is not jazz, its nauseating,,,just to be kind Metheny did play on one of my favorite albums with Jim Hall(just two guitars no cheeseball keyboard pad sounds)I know probly gonna get some haters for this , but smooth jazz should only be played in dentist office to enhance the potentcy of the novacaine
@fraterlucifer888 Smooth jazz isn't THAT bad. In fact, (Pat Metheny might hate me for this) but Pat has composed some songs that could be nearing the smooth jazz genre.
@fenderbender92 its not true, pat's music is to complex and pure and truly jazz to be called smooth jazz. Sometimes the arrangements he uses in his pieces can sound a little smooth because of the use of string pads and reverb on the guitar etc. But no, pat will never make smooth jazz he's not capable of dipping that low
@fraterlucifer888 metheny and mays both play some wild stuff on a pretty regular basis, i understand calling certain pad sounds cheesey and stuff but i don't understand how open soloing over a really simple swell pad is cheesy. are you referring more to the tone of his guitar than the actual notes and phrasing. i'm guessing if steve vai played the exact same thing with distortion and the same volume swells you would probably call it soulful.
@fraterlucifer888 how is this smooth jazz? just because of the keyboard sound maybe? other than this doesn't resemble smooth jazz in the slightest bit. All it really means is that you don't know how to listen. Jazz and any real music takes a skill and focus to really hear and understand, so if you dont see the beauty in this music then go listen to the ramones play three chords.
couldn't agree with you more, 1:36 is a sweet spot . . . the musical chemistry between lyle and pat is incredible, totally off the chain!. and joni has an incredible way of bringing out the best, magical talent of all the musicians who play with her. . . .
I concur that that was the BEST live band Joni ever had the privilege of playing with, especially now that Brecker and Pastorius have passed. I remember going to the P.N.E. in Vancouver BC in 1980 and paying 10 bucks to see Alias, Brecker, Metheny, Mitchell, Mays, Pastorius and the Persuasions....a very memorable 3 hr. concert !!!

Saw this tour in Toronto, I sat alone, it was the second time I had seen Joni: she is truly a magnificent artist, completely worthy of the amazing talent that surrounds her. There are very few players that could truly do her beautiful music justice: Pat Metheny is one of them.
One of my favorite Metheny solos and what a band Joni Mitchell put together for this: Jaco & Michael Brecker. Pure magic. Joni Mitchel, Pat & Jaco were all on top of the world back then.
This is a weird performance--starts with Joni's song "Amelia" and turns into one of Pat's songs, the name of which I can't remember. Would have preferred to hear "Amelia".
Its actually moving from "Amelia" into this solo (check out the "Amelia" video from this same set, it ends with the transition into this performance).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I enjoy some of PM's work...although I'm not sure I get where he's coming from...this solo cas in point...he seems to be searching for his notes...not sure of where to touch down...however, he is a great guitarist!
there is no "n°1" guitar player, there are too many awesome players in this world (Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth, Christophe Godin, Mike Stern...) it's all a matter of taste
This looks like the Mingus tour -- gosh it's been a long time. I saw her on this tour in Philadelphia at the Mann. Jaco and Michael Brecker were also on board. I think this was the end of her peak musically. Just my opinion, o'course.
Ok yeah I know he thinks all of his notes. When I said that he wasn't thinking about it, I meant he knows scales and how to voice what he hears and thinks in his head that he doesn't have to think about it, it effortlessly flows in his improvisation and compositions.
Well, I have to say Bright Size Life because it's simple, melodic and has Jaco on it. I also like his trio project and also albums like Letter from home and Still Life Talking which is by the Pat Methent group. I don't really like the soundscape and all that on those albums but you can't critisize his musicality
I saw the Way Up live in Seoul back in 2005. I'm actually in the audience on the DVD ;-). What an amazing album/song. Pat Metheny takes music to new heights.
This solo is so mesmerizing I have listened to it over and over again and I can't get enough of it. Pat Methany is my favorite guitar player bar none. His lines transcend chord progressions, and his ideas are totally plugged into the source.
Correct ES 175. Strings 11-49. Note the missing bridge pick up covered with Panzer band?. Anyway great sound, two delays 13ms and 26 ms if i can recall well. Nevertheless the fingers of Mr Metheny are making the sound not the guitar!
No switch dude. Only a neck pick up. I thought the tape was covering the bridge pick up spot, but pay attention on the volume and trebble pots. there are only 2 instead of 4 on a usual ES 175. No pick guard either. But you are right an ES 175 has usually the selector on the upper part (I have one:))
pat and his gibson that fuckers worth a fortune... I love his Ibanez sound tho Ibanez all da way babie.. I like how Joni has the george benson model.. both sick guitars
it give him that articulation he wants.. it's odd tho i kno.. looks like he almost used the middle anf first finger with the thumbs exc... but dam neccesity is the mother of invention and he reinvented the guitar for the masses...
they are planet waves with his name on them. the thickness is curiously not written. I play 1,14, i would say it is close to 0,50, very thin indeed. He bends it and uses the in fact the round side of the pick. very effective when you master the angle to get a warm deep sound. I got this from one of his concert in Burlington. happy to share, for me, he is the greatest
1:38 had me slackjawed... his rhythm and timing, there's so much consideration on making it as powerful as possible. And it hits right where it needs to.
This stuff that Pat and Lyle play is so darn sad. But I love it. If you've ever see n the movie Fandango, their background music makes the sadness of the scene where all the friends go their separate ways really come out. It's really something, but for goodness sakes it makes you want to jump off a cliff
in the days when pat was still playing gibsons, hanging with lyle and making the music which first switched me on to his style.... top notch... and yes i too think joni's got a nice butt in this !!
Hmm, don't want to burst your bubble or anything but this was recorded in 1980, yep that's near 30 years ago, joni must be getting on for 70 these days.
Absolutely. And I was fortunate enough to been at this very show in 1979. Jaco, Pat, Michael Brecker et. all. The best band Joni ever had. It was pure magic.
I'm not ashamed to say that this music is so incredibly hauntingly beautiful it made me cry. Does anyone know the name of the video it's from and where can I buy a copy?
I'm new to mr. metheny's tunes, Any1 have any suggestions as to what other songs I should look up? (btw, I play guitar/piano...mostly progressive rock or metal, but I want to add a jazzy feel to some o' my stuff.)
Don't forget the Bright Size Life album. The latest trio album (with Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez) is amazing as well. I'm into prog as well, but studying jazz to support playing just that and fusion!
listen to "bright size life" with jaco pastorius, his first album at ECM, also listen to "new chautauqua" a solo album also at ECM, for my taste they are his best recordings.
Sigh

sorry, i have no idea. i just know he uses 3 fingers to hold the pick and bends it when he wants harder attack.

they are planet waves with his name on them. the thickness is curiously not written. I play 1,14, i would say it is close to 0,50, very thin indeed. He bends it and uses the in fact the round side of the pick. very effective when you master the angle to get a warm deep sound. I got this from one of his concert in Burlington. happy to share, for me, he is the greatest

1:38 had me slackjawed... his rhythm and timing, there's so much consideration on making it as powerful as possible. And it hits right where it needs to.

This stuff that Pat and Lyle play is so darn sad. But I love it. If you've ever see n the movie Fandango, their background music makes the sadness of the scene where all the friends go their separate ways really come out. It's really something, but for goodness sakes it makes you want to jump off a cliff

in the days when pat was still playing gibsons, hanging with lyle and making the music which first switched me on to his style.... top notch... and yes i too think joni's got a nice butt in this !!

What a great player he is, but there should have been an international treaty banning chorusing on guitars. It's such a distracting effect.

Hmm, don't want to burst your bubble or anything but this was recorded in 1980, yep that's near 30 years ago, joni must be getting on for 70 these days.

That's OK, bazonics. I'm 52 . . . Joni is surely even more beautiful now, her spirit having grown fully and preparing to leave us . . . .

Yeah amazing band. And right there in time and quality with Zappa's incredible band with Underwood, Bozio, Duke, Fowler, etc.
funkyalfonso- I'm with you man, that solo from Joes' Garage is one of he best ever. I'm also extremely fond of Black Napkins.
And Steely Dan doing their best work...
Those were some fine days to be alive!

the video was put out by Warner Bros. on VHS a decade or so ago entitled Joni Mitchell: Shadows and Light. Don't know if it is on dvd.
That was a hell of an outfit behind Joni and she never sounded better before or since in my opinion.
mqblues 3 years ago
Absolutely. And I was fortunate enough to been at this very show in 1979. Jaco, Pat, Michael Brecker et. all. The best band Joni ever had. It was pure magic.

Don't forget the Bright Size Life album. The latest trio album (with Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez) is amazing as well. I'm into prog as well, but studying jazz to support playing just that and fusion!
NJlo 3 years ago
listen to "bright size life" with jaco pastorius, his first album at ECM, also listen to "new chautauqua" a solo album also at ECM, for my taste they are his best recordings.
have a nice time.
haimcito 3 years ago
I'd say start with his first album; Bright Size Life under ECM. With Moses (drums) and Pastorius (Bass).
Enjoy!
