Pat and Lyle—a lifetime devoted to studying their improv styles wouldn’t exhaust the learning opportunities. Kudos to you guys for having the courage to go down that road. The in and out heads are spot on, although Pat’s acoustic sound is tough to emulate with pedals. I LOVED the Lyle-esque reharmonization during the piano solo, the autoharp stuff and the great synth sounds. To the guitar player: don’t hesitate to carefully analyze the modes to use when soloing on this tune. Pat’s playing is so effortless, I fell into the trap years ago of believing I should be able to do similar things by ear. But his effortlessness was won through many, many, many hours of analysis and working out the details of how to play phrases through the changes, in addition to his great ears and instincts. Best wishes to you. You’re off to a good start. I think it’s wonderful that you guys are learning this material that’s very dear to many of us.

Alors là, vous m'avez ramené 40 ans en arrière, à l'époque où j'ai découvert ce morceau à travers l'album "Travels" en live. J'avais 16-17 ans et depuis, il fait référence dans ma culture musicale. Bon sang, quel final !

Raggiante esilarante sinergico la forza di superare il talento dei geni in un sodalizio davvero bruciante....very very good .

[RJMHudsonChampaign]

Great work! Piano and guitar play together so well, just like Lyle and Pat!

[saraj]

On my 30th birthday I lived 3 blocks from Pat’s apartment (answering machine location) in Cambridge, MA. I was, and am, a super fan of Pat’s (though I wasn’t stalking him - I just happened to live there). A very good friend retrieved a guitar from a repair shop that I had purchased in 1977 - a blond ES175 knockoff I purchased before I ever heard a note of Pat’s music - and showed up at my outdoor birthday party at my house finger-syncing Phase Dance while dressed just like Pat down to the tiny bag/purse he used to carry around (for picks??) and donning a fairly accurate wig. My buddy is hilarious and a VERY good imitator so he got all the grimaces and tippy toe leaning forward stuff. Plus he is an excellent guitarist. Excellent entrance!! I was 100% surprised. Then, later that day I called Pat and he was home, answered and spoke with me for an hour!! Quite the birthday. Seeing the striped shirt in your video reminded me of that day.
Long live Pat Metheny!

Astounding! Reminds me of the music from the band "Wind Machine" that used to hail from Louisville, Colorado.

[jimbricker]

Fantastic stuff, all! Did my heart good to hear PMG so beautifully represented. 
Hoping you get a chance to hit the road and come to California some time.

[masongregory]

You guys are fantastic. A true tribute.

[thedrumdon]

My Canadian friends!! Absolutely amazing and completely entertaining! Well done and keep up the fantastic work! totally dig this!

[theswime]

I've had to reappraise my opinion on 'tribute bands' because of you lot, I'm having a right philosiphical meltdown... I can only repeat what everyone else has said so far, amazing stuff! And let's not forget the talents of the recording engineer... Thank you all, I look forward to more. Cheers from the UK

[aglogower]

Would love to see you guys live in Florida.

[juannoval]

Oh, wow, you guys are absolutely rocking it. I hope one day very soon you can come to San Antonio, Texas. I've seen PMG a few times in my lifetime and you guys do them justice. Phenomenal sound. Congratulations

[drat]

Superb! Can't wait to see/hear what y'all do with San Lorenzo and The Epic!

[brucecaldwell]

I'm sure Pat is aware of this ensemble & is proud of them. At least I think they do his music justice, if that's the right word.

[VG-iqxq]

This might be my favorite PMG album, you guys nailed this. Will you be doing San Lorenzo?

[kennethl]

Wow! I hope the PMG comes to the Vancouver Jazz Festival!
