Pat Metheny Group - "Have You Heard" on Night Music (featuring Lyle Mays) 

This was the great Geffen period when Pat and Lyle had complete artistic control to produce and release content with NO corporate interference from A&R or finance personnel. Geffen basically gave them the keys to the studio and all the time needed for composing, recording, and release.

Pat Metheny Group was the best in contemporary jazz no doubt.

Pedro Aznar....here in the States we will never now all his facets, Bass player, Seru Giran, film scores and more, what a talent....the best

The years with Pedro were the best...

Back in the day this music saved me from insanity and all the crappy gigs I was doing to survive. All those late nights out there in the dark, just me and this band on the road.

The greatest era for the Pat and Lyle, simply mesmerizing compositions and musicianship. I told my sister when I die I want anything Pat Metheny played at my wake... ANYTHING!

Lyle is still here. He lives on through his music and his playing.

That was the best musical show ever; David Sanborn had the most amazing musical guests from every genre. But nothing this good can last. people were too dumb to appreciate it.

Paul Wertico, what a drummer...

This is so bad ass it blows away mostly any guitar and band work, that I've heard in the last 50 years...

Lyle Mays rest in Peace🙏🎼

Paul Vertigo's touch on those rides is just ethereal.

Pedro voice is amazing

Lyle is the man

Pat, Lyle, Paul, Pedro, Armando - the best ever!

PEDRO AZNAR! Fantastic and total artist! And that voice, THAT VOICE!

The Letter from Home was a great album.

You can see, and hear, the Pure joy of his playing, in his facial expressions.

I have seen Pat Metheny several times in concert and he is amazing. When Pat is playing that guy is in the zone. A bomb could go off right next to him and he would not even skip a note.

They need to bring this kind of show back !

thank you Lyle Mays, for all the years of awesome playing you did

Who’s listening in 2020? Here from Seoul, Korea. Yay.

I find everything Pat plays is not just amazing , but it’s so damn musical . Fabulous!

One of the best groups of all time!

I cry EVERY time I hear this... It's like hugging a deeply loved one you haven't seen for a while...& realize how much they mean to you.

Clearly…the finest musicians on the planet. RIP Lyle Mays

More than 25 years since I was first introduced to this song and I still enjoyed it.

I"ll never forget the first time I listened to this sound and the perfirmance of this amazing PMG lineup. Pat, Lyle, Armando, Steve, Paul, Pedro... you all changed my vision of the world... and I'll forever appreciate it. Thanks for the magic, guys. Godspeed, Lyle. RIP

Amazing... Pedro is a great musician, and Pat band is incredible.

R.I.P. Maestro Lyle Mays. One of the greatest keyboardists of all times.

One of my favorite songs from my favorite era. Pat is deep in the zone for the his solo, he’s almost possessed. The outro almost made me scream and I’ve listened to this song probably 1000 times. The transition from the guitar solo to Lyle smashing out those chords is so slick I’m not sure that I even can find the cue. I played in a punk band for over 10 years and we used to make fun of other punk bands that would just stand there when they performed and we always tried to have energy on stage. And here this is a jazz group - and look at pat! What an amazing performance!

One thing I was just admiring is how percussionist Armando Marcal is visible in almost every shot, and shows his beautiful contribution to the groove along with drummer Paul Wertico. This whole thing is so beautifully shot - every angle shows at least three musicians, and you can tell that they are all totally locked into each other. And the camera catches many specific important musical moments and interactions. And the sound is great. Everything I've ever seen from "Night Music" has first class from a technical and artistic perspective. None of that "showing the singers ear during the guitar solo" kind of concert movie lameness.

Probably the peak of the Pat's PMG era. All of the PMG eras are great but this lineup (and this album 'Letter From Home') probably marks the zenith in which everything just came together.

I think this was my favorite PMG lineup. Love the South American influence with Pedro and Armando.

The great Steve Rodby ,one of the world's best supportive bass player!!!👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🙏🙏🙏⛪⛪⛪

Pat metheny to me is the greatest guitarist.. you can hear and feel it. He's just like so different.. i think hes from another world lol .. i cant believe what im hearing he reached the highest level of music

I was hoping for a reunion with the Group with Lyle and Pedro. Now everything's changed.

Pedro's vocie is beautiful its like from another world.. and pat reached the highest level of playing. The worlds greatest

Always amazed how Paul Wertico played those 5Bs with such lightness and volume control.

Unmatched, unparalleled, unbelievable……The Pat Metheny group…. RIP The magnificent LM.

Pat Metheny Group - Incredible group of musicians.

This performance by The Pat Metheny Group is absolutely electrifying. It's almost impossible for me to put into words. Magnificent, transcendent and phenomenal.

Everyone was at the top of their game at this point. Paul f-ing Vertico is amazing. I saw this tour and I’m still effected by it.

Everyone always seems to forget Steve Rodby on bass

I still remember the 1st time I heard this. 😮 Hold everything! Play that one again! Wow! Here it is, decades later, and it's still one of my favorites of all time!

Best song from the best Metheny group ever!!!!

Pedro Aznar... what a great musician and composer

Pat and Lyle, the biggest hair in fusion. Talented too :)

Pat Metheny is perfection❤️

Qué hermoso ❤

this track is the soundtrack of my live

They were all at the top of their game at this time,

Listen to the vocals; amazing!!!

Watch this every day since 2011, and never get bored :)

How do I inject this into my veins? This is another level.

From Screaming Jay Hawkins to the Pat Metheny Group and all points in between. Superb performances and show. David Sanborn had the clout to bring any artist to the show and he allowed them to do their own thing within the structure of the show. His personality and his own artistry allowed him to fully appreciate other artists. A cool, smooth, humble and nicely put together chap.

I did not appreciate Night Music at the time. Thank goodness for youtube so I can truly appreciate it now

Pat is an Alien-guitar-player !!!!! and Lyle, Pedro and all the band too !!! Thanks for all you do to make my day better !! My english is not good but je vous aime tous !!

Oh ya...Paul and his flat shimmery Paistes....carved a place in music history....great band....great memories..thanks for posting!

There will never ever be a band as great as this jazz band ever!

The great Pedro Aznar on Vocals!!!

Pat’s music has wings.

merci pat!

The first time I saw Pat Metheney was in 1987 (First Circle tour). I had never heard him prior to that show. I was blown away of course, but the real standout that night was Lyle Mays.

Pedro Aznar...one of the most talented musicians ever...period

some of the best ever created!

this is one of the live guitar preformences of all time

I don't know why.I hear you everyday. You tell storys.

Much as I admire Pat Metheny, it's the individual and collective contributions of the other musicians that really make this an incredible musical experience.

RIP David Sanborn

The three letter acronym, PMG, will last a long time in the history books.

This group is always so other-worldly beautiful. They (musicianship/compositions) are unique yet accessible...not easily found in our world. Love it!

My first Matheny concert was Cullen aditourm 1981 U of H campus Houston Tx RIP Lyle and thank you Pat for the many years of your instrumentals that’s everybody like to call songs 😂

I’ve listened to this at least two times a week on my porch for the last 30 years. The most perfect the universe could be.

I have watched this performance about 15 times tonight I am mesmarized I keep my eyes on those fingers eating that guitar up making that instrument do much more than it ever would have .

Damn how I miss the 20th Century! Incredible Musicianship here! The Bands best period for sure! RIP Lyle Mays

I envy those who are hearing this tune for the first time

Dude's got but one job, but nails it every time. Who am I talking about?

Pat likes jazz that sound like bells and horns from heaven just cool man.

Pedro Aznar. Wow. The whole damn thing is great.

The greatest Jazz guitarist of our generation

パットメセニーを知った、初めての 曲。 いつ聴いても最高❗️

absolutely freaking phenomenal

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? 🤦‍♂️ smh...what an amazing performance and song!!

Excelente grupo musical o escucho varias veces.

This is what I call "soul music" cause that's how it touches me.

The two greatest guitarist the world has ever known, Allan holdsworth and pat metheny.

This is THE best version of this song - I can't believe I hadn't already seen this. Why haven't more people seen this on RU-vid??

i miss paul wertico

It still baffles me why Pat metheny didn't make a live song of "Minuano", on a cd. Such a beautiful song should be recordable. 🙂🙂🙂

So good to watch and listen to ! I love Pedro's voice, Lyle Mays hands and needless to say the master Pat.

Still takes my breathe away!

Loved Night Music! Great show that sadly did not last very long.

Lyle Now you play the best music ever and the angels stop flying to listen to you

😂 at the end Pat with crystal ball … thank 💕💕💕 you so much for posting this stunning version!!! …. and may Mays RIP forever for ALL he gave us!

J'écoute pat metheny et son groupe depuis mes 20 ans et je ne m'en lasse pas, comme le disent beaucoup dans les commentaires, ils sont géniaux tous les musiciens 👍. Je me suis mariée sur un morceau de pat)(c'était il y a 30 ans et le jour de mes obsèques il sera là aussi avec son éternelle guitare, c'est mon ange 😇

Amazing performance!! I like this great guitar player

Yes is special for me long time coming 🙏

For me this is golden era Metheny-Mays/Group music. It's the period of Pat's career (Lyle's, too) that I enjoyed the most and I wish it had lasted longer. But as time went on, it evolved into something different, and it never captured my attention in the same way. The Way Up and Speaking Of Now were the albums that marked the fading of the legendary Pat Metheny Group, at least for me. While I practically wore out every Group album before those two, those two didn't get a lot of replays.

Interesting placement of the drummer right out front. Never to underestimate drummers, of course. Paul Wertico lays down a beautiful groove throughout.
