One of the greatest compositions of the modern age in my mind. Farewell Lyle Mays.

I’ve been a musician all my life, since I was 5 years old and I’m 68 years old now. This is the most beautiful piece of music ever created in my lifetime, in my opinion. These guys are the musicians musicians.

An extratrrestial in the piano and keyboards, an angel singing and Mozart in the guitar... God bless them all, gone and alive for some of the best music ever done.

For me the best group of all times! Pat, Lyle, Steve, Pedro Aznar, Paul means excess of talent, creativity, technique, music sensitivity and innovation. Thank you guys, you've made my life better.

R.I.P. Lyle Mays ...

Rest in peace Lyle Mays. Rest in peace Naná Vasconcelos, great percussion talent.

Pat and Lyle wrote magic. They're brilliant musicians who play to the song and not their egos. Wonderful!

I really miss Lyle's presence in this world. Thankful for the recordings, but sad to know he's no longer here.

I can't seem to run across this and start listening to it without watching the whole thing. I don't even try to delude myself into thinking I can stop it anyore... I've heard this probably several thousand times ever since the album first came out. Every note perfection, brilliance, love, wonder, celebration, joy!

Pat Metheny and company had the gift of finding the right tempo, melody , and curiosity of what makes a song progress forward to boundaries that can make you cry or feel the energy waiting to be released...this song is in my honest opinion is iconic. REST IN PEACE LYLE MAYS...!

Only 5.870 views since 8/19/09? KZfaq shows the difference being famous with minimal talent or having extraordinary talent and not caring about fame. The Pat Metheny Group chose the latter. Thank God......

PMG has been with me for decades now, and this is really one of their greatest performances, a truly masterpiece. Thank you for this great gift to humanity

There is nothing in the world what would fit better to my soul. Leaves me speachless every time. Pure genius.

What a brilliant keyboard solo in this song by Lyle…true musical genius.

This piece, above all others, has the power to lift my soul, to make my spirit soar and to captivate my mind. I simply marvel at the depth of talent and how it synergized with perfection.

The joy and wonder that Pat and Lyle have put in the world is incalculable...

F-- me this song is amazing any one else notice that almost everyone in this video is playing with their eyes shut and playing from their hearts. Truly breathtaking and amazing to hear first time, tenth time and one hundredth time.

I could listen to this song every day & never tire of it. Absolutely sensational 😭😭😭😭

I absolutely love this band.! THe songs make me cry, laugh, grieve, soar with light and sometimes make me feel totally helpless. WE listen to this group so much. Can't ever imagine my life without this music in it. The song I most identify with is " If I could", we have a handicaped son, and when ever I hear it, it is me saying to him. " If I could, oh I wish I could. Thank you all for such intense, wonderful music!

I had this on VHS. Often replayed this version, surprised the tape didn't snap. I consider this to be Lyle's finest recorded solo. The definition of perfection.

This song absolutely moves me to tears. So hauntingly beautiful and sad at the same time. Lyle mays was such an absolute treasure, he is greatly missed along with old friend Tom Sheehan, their piano technician.

Been listening to Pat since the 80 and 2022 still loving his music

I was fortunate to see the PMG perform this live back in 1995. It was surrealistic, to say the least. No other group that I have seen perform live has come even close to the musicianship that I witnessed.

Thank you. One of the greatest songs ever written. Pat, Lyle, Pedro Aznar. They are all fantastic.

I can’t think of any pianist that their solos makes you just want to close your eyes and feel the music.

Absolutely wonderful. Totally absorbing. And the best tribute to those of the band who we’ve sadly lost.

One of his classics. Sounds just as awesome live !

How much their music healed me and gave me the power to live. There is only the sound and tears from Lyle's beautiful fingertips.

Definitely one of those amazing pieces of music that I never get tired of listening to. Aways lifts me up! What talent! So sad we lost Lyle.

This is a totally astonishing composition as well an unforgettable performance. Amazing energy.

Pedro Aznar es majestuoso una voz hermosa es una melodia directa al alma. Te amo💝

RIP LYLE !!!! 2years ago you left us but your work is eternal ...God be with you

I wish an interviewer would ask Metheny to speak of his legacy from Brazilian music which comes through so clearly here both in the 22/8 rhythm and in the texture - brings me directly to the old masters Gismonti, Horta, Tiso and of course Naná, among so many others!

Absolutely genius! Great performance!

I can only give 1 thumbs-up? I demand more thumbs!!! This could be the most inspirational music ever written.

What an absolute monster of a pianist and composer Lyle was. This song never tires on me.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

God Bless Pat Metheny! God Bless Pedro Aznar!

This performance (and particularly the piano solo) is so amazingly, otherworldly superb I almost find it painful!!!! Mastery like this is humbling in the extreme.

この世で一番美しいジャズフュージョン、本当に出会えてよかった😭👍

Me acuerdo cuando los vi tocar en Obras donde presentaron el album First Circle en Bs.As., cuanto talento unido!! Sigo escuchando el Disco muy seguido y algunas lágrimas fluyen de alegría, saudades y remembranza de haber tenido el privilegio estar presente en ese momento. Se lo va a extrañar a Lyle!! Seguramente va estar tocando en esa Banda Inmortal que esta por allá arriba. Gracias Lyle por tanto!

This is the song that introduced me to Pat and the crew, miss Lyle so much we will never see the likes of Pat and Lyle again. Life is too too short, show love to your love ones and others while you still have the little time left.

A masterpiece of emotions and unrepeatable talents .... thank you for giving us so much symphony.

The greatest collection of musicians you could ask for. Metheny and Mays compositions and arrangements are at the top echelon perhaps in ALL music history. That’s a lot to say, but this piece is just one of so many compositions before and after which PMG has put out. perfection musical high ground and joyous music to heart! 👍😊❤️

No me canso. Vuelvo una y otra vez a esta obra maestra, a descansar, a excitarme, subir y bajar, volar y caer. Vuelvo a encontrar los sonidos en mis recuerdos con esta música en los años antiguos. Sigue siendo un círculo. Sigue siendo el primero.

late 80's I did a college radio show (50 mile radius next to Manhattan). I would always open my show, weekly with this song..

Such a heart-warming masterpiece.. the sheer beauty of the tones, melodies, harmonies, and rhythms are so moving. Oh, we miss you so much, Lyle!

Still breathtaking after all these years...

Rest in Peace Lyle! :-(

There was power and beauty in LM’s incredibly long fingers. I turn this on with volume up in the car while driving through the mountains on frequent trips between Tucson and San Diego. It lifts the car and my body and soul toward God.

one of the highest forms of prayer

心の中を風が吹き抜ける そして暖かい温もりと懐かしい思い出がこみあげて何故か涙が出てくる

The Pat Metheny Group deserves a place alongside the angels in heaven. This is music fit for Himself.

All the music made by Pat Metheny group is really a Cultural Patrimony for entire humanity.. because made by Heart Soul and Love !!!!

Baby Pedro Aznar and his voice of an angel make me come back to this videos quite often ❤️

If there was one track that I had to pick to listen to for the rest of my life… ❤

One of my favourite pat metheny albums,I would love to see that line up again, class

I keep coming back to this one. I've heard lots of vocal voices, like Pedro. I find him the best. Maybe it's the face bone structure, the nose, what we can't see...the hollow in the sinuses. And hitting top notes the same splendid and unique results. Cleanness of voice. Nothing more to say. Congratulations without depreciating other vocals yet the best I've heard. Thank you so much.

One of the master pieces of the history of music.

Geniuses at work.

que grande que es pat metheny y en conjunto con esa voz... increible

I listen to unusual music in my classroom while the students are coming in and I always get the question , MR. Why do you listen to this stuff? MY ANSWER IS BECAUSE IT'S complex and interesting. As proof I play the intro to this song and ask, "What do you hear?" answer clapping. I ask is the clapping pattern complex or simple? The students always say simple, so I respond I will play the intro 3 more times and if anyone can keep the beat on the 4th time I will give them $100. I''ve never had to pay, but my real love of this song is LYle on keyboard. Been following him and PAT SINCE a friend made me listen to them back in 1984 - best friend ever. First heard this song at a concert in Seattle back in the early 90's and loved it immediately.

this song is so damn good，rip lyle

Pat, you make Dreams when I listen your music...thank you

Un hermosísimo tema y una improvisación perfecta del maestro Mays.

La voz de Pedro Arnaz WOW!!! 👏👏👏

The incomparable Lyle Mays! A thrill to listen. And appreciate!

Thank you Mr May's for all of the musical journeys you took my on during your solos There was none like it and I doubt that there will be none like there ever again. The pat Matheny group is unmatched in every way Thanks again. From the bottom of my heart You are sorely missed.

What a beautiful concert, saw them in Milwaukee many times RIP.

And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Revelation 22:8

Qué hermosa canción! Fabulosos artistas!

In love w singer, what a beautiful voice, unique sound, just captivating.

I saw them in Red Bank New Jersey in a really nice small venue. Incredible. It's nice to see all the wonderful comments and how Pat, Lyle and the band have touched so many people. Lyle had to be one of the most creative and talented keyboard players ever to grace this earth.

Sublimes todos y extraordinaria la voz de Pedro Aznar. Temón, temazo, no hay palabras!!

Diese Platte hat mein Leben buchstäblich verändert. Sie ist meine Musik bis heute. Danke für dieses Geschenk.

musica de otro planeta grande Aznar

Beautifully arranged. Love it 💞💞

Loved you Lyle, Pat and you were so cohesive , interlaced, your piano scores. R.I.P. Lyle.

It took the universe 14 billion years to make this exist at the same time as us.

i am sure their music has brought joy too our Creators Heart its has mine for years

Absolutely beautiful , rip lyle . Talent out of this world !

My favorite PMG tune. It is practically a symphony.

The end of Lyle's solo-WOW!!

Love your heavenly voice, Pedro Aznar

😮😍 Wouaw Lile Mays 😍 quelle composition lumineuse et Pat à la guitare sèche 😍 c est juste grandiose...Il n y a même assez de mots pour définir cette vibration harmonique 🙂 Incroyablement bon ils sont❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👍🙏

Yes it sad to hear about Lyle May's..I was fortunate enough to see Pat Metheny Group with Brazilian vocalist with octaves I haven't heard since Flora Purim played Montana's "Sweet Pea Festival in Bozen. PATS Blistering guitar solos and Lyles Piano were Amazing.
