Pat Metheny Group - San Lorenzo (1978)

.... and yet more from this 1978 gig...

Probably the key piece on the so called "white album"... brilliant... wish I could of added Pat's little speech before the tune but the 10min limit was up...

I can't believe this is on Youtube!!!! I remember skipping meals as a nineteen-year-old Berklee student so that I could afford to go see this magical group of musicians. I am crying now, just as I always did after listening to Lyle Mays' solo in this. The crescendo from 9:03 to 9:24 just before the rest of the band joins in the main theme still takes my breath away.

Birds fly in time to this music, sun rises with it. Thank you Lyle Mays, orangefunk.

Per me la musica di Pat Metheny riesce ad evocare magiche dimensioni parallele, oltre l'umanamente concepibile... ;oP Esagero? Provate a sentirli (e a vederli) suonare live... Poi ne riparliamo!

Lyle Mays poi è uno dei più grandi pianisti di tutti i tempi!!!

My mother would play this for my sister and I as we went to sleep. This album was a major part of my childhood 1974-1992, I was raised on these notes, the highest sweeping highs and the calming seas that would flow out from every instrument! A very inspirational album I can say with no doubt! Listening to the rains of the Willamette Valley as we fell asleep to San Lorenzo!! Thanks for posting this!

Who could possibly dislike this?

@clicks59 Bass player was first in the line up Mark Egan. Read somewhere that Pat wasn't keen that Mark was doing more of his own thing i.e too many lead runs so he moved on.

Drummer was Dan Gottlieb. Both on the "white album".

Magical group ! I

This was the first song that got me started back in 78, so that makes me an oldy now. Still going to Pat's gigs though. :))
