The ultimate swansong for one of the iconic ensembles of all time who made some of the greatest music ever and always did things their way. God bless PMG

[Rex-fmlf]

Amazing band. Just feel grateful that I was able to see Lyle Mays play live with the Pat Metheny band a couple of times. Such a beautiful and lyrical player and imho one of the greatest piano players. Lyle Mays era Pat metheny band was so special.

[BassMasterBruce]

I was there somewhere in the middle of the 150, 000 strong was the 13th and final show of that tour I was fortunate to attend and witness PMG at its best performing the entire album live along with other classics. Hard to believe its almost been 20 years since that tour. I will forever be grateful that I had the chance to see once of the most amazing bands ever assembled perform their best recording (IMHO) as a swan

[JGlassy]

Unforgettable era. I’ll always come back to the original PMG for solace that the world and stars above can be right.

Having got the score of the Way Up - how do they remember to play 254 pages of such complicated music; it's beyond me. It's beyond most humans. Except these genuises.

[operating]

They hit such a peak with this album and tour. It was beyond anything I had ever experienced.

[rbrobyn]

That's the most talented, inspiring ensemble ever. Ever!

I am so thankful to have been in the audience during some of the PMG performances. ❤

I am fortunate to have seen Antonio play with Metheny a number of times (on many of Pats projects) and he is always superb and always giving the music 100 percent swing.

[gregsaddie]

This is where 'Bach' and modernity intersect.

[davidklepinger]

I live in Atlanta and got to see PMG three times, all in different venues. Their show at the Fox Theater was unforgettable.

[PeterBrown-mznv]

Thank you Antonio. You've had an astounding career to go along with your astounding ability. Not only were you involved in the creation of this epic masterpiece, you later on won an Academy award as a solo drummer, put out 2 great CD's under your own name, and was still Pat Metheny's drummer all in the same year. That's undeniably impressive.

[kuleebaba]

Playing like it was going to be their last....OMG!

[markcouncil]

No, I don't know how music could possibly get any better than this. And it doesn't need to! I got to see this incarnation of the PMG at an unannounced gig at Johnson State College in Vermont, their final 'rehearsal' gig before taking TWU on tour and I sat ten feet from Lyle's piano. What a wonderful drug-

[barrettedwards]

This whole album is off the charts!!!!

Antonio, we met briefly in the South of France by a food truck during a PM show, and I thanked you for this album that is a lifelong healer of EVERYTHING for me. Wings, tears of joy, you are brilliant, you all are, the summum of expression and legal drug for soul flight. Bless you for this musical gift.
