Steve Swallow is a tank. 14 mins playing 5 notes

Methany is a trumpet player at heart.

Steve, Pat, and Sco were at Berklee when I was there. Steve was the nicest guy you could ever meet. Pat practiced all the time. I played in a few ensemble bands with Sco. He was good, but over the course of three years he turned into a monster player. Gee, practice really does pay off.

SCOFIELD'S SOLO IS A MASTERPIECE.

This shit is murder for my anxiety disorder. I keep waiting for them to start the tune!!!!!

If you're here looking for Steve Swallow not missing a single beat in a 15 minutes song,well you came to the right video

The level of mutual respect and enjoyment from Sco and Pat towards each other is infectious and a lesson for musicians. And Bill and Steve in the background are like old friends supporting them. I have seen less cohesion from old bands like The Rolling Stones.

If you turned the sound down when Sco is soloing, you'd swear he was getting stung by hornets....lol....what a beast...love him.

Two masters of the outside. This track should be on the golden cd flying to the stars

John Scofield is an interesting player. I saw him at the 1986 JVC Jazz Festival in Newport RI as part of a multi lineup. Always mixing angular and dissonant lyricism with blues and funk. I'm sure he plays a lot of whole tone and diminished scales and loves to obscure the underlying harmonies with departure after departure. A great introduction to him is to check out Jaco Pastorius, Kendwood Dennard and John Scofield playing the Jaco blues, "The Chicken" on a 1985 instructional video for aspiring bassists. Jaco sounds the most adherent to melody and harmony! I've always loved Pat Metheny and saw him live in Lowell MA 1989. He's fully capable of playing angular and outside like Scofield. Song X with Ornette Coleman. I would like to listen to more Scofield and decide how much I like him. I like him and what I hear. It's an acquired taste- active listening. Listening to the Chicken with Jaco is a great place to start.

Swallow.......human metronome in trance......great job steve, great job.....

Superbé Pat and John also backline Steve and Bill, great music from another planet :)

Los mejores guitarristas dl mundo. So different so alike great!

Anyone else notice how they each came in with their own time feel and then instantly matched each other on the next breath? No ego, all music!

The trumpet effect on Pat's guitar is awesome!

I absolutely LOVE Bill Stewart. One of the most melodic drummers ever. Fantastic.

I was lucky enough to see two shows....simply the best thing you can imagine.... The most superb rhythm section....supporting the greatest improvising guitar players ever...ever... Pat and Sco....guitar heaven...!!! Technically I could go on forever....but just enjoy.....The Best!!!

Fantastic groove. Like it it should be as live...way better than the studio version. Probably the best Metheny solo ever. And everybody shines....yeah like crazy diamonds!

There's no piece of music I'd rather have stuck in my head. And this one sticks like crazy glue.

Incredible crazy-psychedelic solo from Pat!! at 8:25 I almost fell of the chair! :-D

WOW I LOVE SCOFEILD SOLO. WOW

We're well in the nineties !! Thank you to those great great 4 jazzmen

This is the kind of indulgent stuff you play when you're famous. The drumming was great.

Que turma da pesada. Amei!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

FUSION HEAVEN!!!!!

Brilliant all around. I feel like a dunce for never having envisioned what a great match Pat and John would be!

Love Sco...even in the quiet moments you feel the menace coming when he takes the dog of the leash (e.g. 3;59 and then the low notes at 4;02 are totally sick!)

I watch this everyday! :))

Pat's talent is limitless.

jesus! a great performance overall. bill steward got my special attention. great solo, smooth, effortless, tastefully, diversified, rich; what a thrill with that persistant ostinato. makes my day!

Not sure Bill Stewart gets the recognition he deserves. He's got impeccable tone, and plays with such precision, groove, and musicality. You can tell it's him playing within a few bars.

You can understand Metheny. You cannot see where Sco goes. Choose your aesthetic.

La Fiesta de Todos... Bill Stewart batería, Steve Swallow bajo, Pat Metheny guitarra y John Scofield guitarra... Lo dijo eo gran Pat: "Sco es el hombre"...🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶👁️🌅

Steve Swallow is Amazing!!!

Metheny solo is one of the greatest electric guitar solo ever! Sick!

Personally, my favorite two guitarist. However, the rhythm section stands out as the masterpiece.

SCOFIELD's SOLO is a MASTERPIECE.

Was this really 25 years ago??? Jeez!!!

Never go toe to toe with a shoulder pad man. I trust Pat learned his lesson.

wow, wow, wow! The studio version is great - yet this one is just superb!

Scofield is just sick wit h it.

John Scofield... One of the most exciting guitar explorers I'v ever heard, with Jimi Hendrix

Bill Stewart looks so clean and neatly groomed!

Its amasing how Pat Metheny takes his solo to another dimension .

Remeber this footage when came out in late 1994 . I ve recorded video on VHS tape and played it all along... a nd again... and again. Fantastic.

Every solo is delicious.

I love the tones of the distorted guitar violin sounding thing that Pat Metheny uses sometimes

two guitar-master together ! incredible ! wonderful piece and solos ! but also fantastic solo on drum by Bill Stewart while Steve Swallow is able to play ostinato bass line !!!! Steve's ability in timing is really surprising while Bill is going on playing a lot of different polyrhytmic bar on his drum !!! high live performance , for sure !

When the play the melody choruses, there is a break section where the bass line does change, lol. Yeah, this is awesome!!!

Two Giants on gtr and my favourite drummer!

No competition for me here ; two pots of gold, twice the value !

Blown. Away.... Love it!!

A year ago I was here; an anniversary worth listening.

When did Simon and Garfunkel record a guitar battle concert??? Looooove it. Pat and Sco.

God bless Billy Stewart. Because .... Billy Stewart. Oh, and bless Steve Swallow, too, for providing a fat mattress at the bottom of a deep, deep trough for everyone he has EVER played with. Oh, and John Scofield for constantly evolving the instrument while striking new ground at the edge of the F'ing frontier. The end, amen.....

I was There :-)

Questi 2 spaccano ancora e per sempre di brutto!

This tune is badass!

Masters

Sco, the sickest jazz guitarist drug cartel

So cool to see a live performance of this! Great track on a great album! 🙌

If this is a party, Swallow is the DD playing those same notes for 14 minutes straight for everyone to riff over!

MASTERS!! BRAVO!

Thus my first time hearing this, amazing that's all I can say. Thank you to whoever posted this

An absolute “stone” groove...

Outstanding.

Awesome Channel- I really enjoyed watching! Best wishes and keep up the great work, Max

John is extra extra extra ordinary!!!

It's excellent stuff really, isn't it.

Pat’s solo beginning is so big… One of the biggest

woww, thank you

Bill Stewart is like a cross between Bernard Purdie and Elvin Jones.

Divine!

superb gangup!

Fantástic!☆

Swallow=designated bass driver.

Muitos génios juntos

i was so bummed they didn't tour the u.s. for this album

Excelent guitarist

Legends!!

I can count on one hand, other guitar players that can dig so deep harmonically and rhythmically at the same time.

I was waiting for Steve's solo

That is good music

I would have sworn that was an acoustic bass Amazing tone

una meraviglia di 27 anni fa . sembra ieri

Wow!❤

Steve Swallow, cool legend

14 minutes orgasm of 4 amazing musicians (Swallow always seems about to come... bytheway oldsco + pat are the best guitars duet of the planet Earth)

sick !

Synergy in a killer tune

Puh! Cool!

I dig that cream-coloured leisure suit, Sco

It never sounds this good on studio recording.

I love pat metheny. but just now I thought myself.. damn his guitar sound is like, Rubber.

Damn!!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The drum solo reminded me of Joe Morello

Sco is baked af, then Pat launches into a glitch fest Delightful anarchy

Wow..

Metheny is dying because SCO is so loose. But, it's the perfect combo.
