April 2021. After 3 weeks in the hospital from COVID, played this while I waited for a friend to pick me up and take me home.

Saw this played live many years ago at Ontario Place in Toronto.. in fact maybe I saw them a few times at Ontario Place .... not heard this tune in years.. and I mean years! 
Such an uplifting song! 
Thanks Bill!

I'm pretty sure that is an actual drummer playing that high-hat - perhaps a loop, but it doesn't sound like a synthesized beat.

Saw this live in ‘87. Real drummer, amazing musicians.

Always the memory of Kincaids on the bay…having a great glass of Cabernet, watching the planes coming into SFO on the parallel runways whilst the others taking off from the two intersecting runways…coming in from somewhere and going somewhere…this song gave me the feeling of being in transit and I liked that.

His "First Circle" album is really, really good. 

I assume "First Circle" means "the Circle of Fifths"?  And if it don't...it should. C'mon.

RP needs more Pat Metheny! I blame his "Imaginary Day" album for getting me interested in jazz. I was a high school student working at a local computer repair shop back in the 90s. One of the older employees gave me a copy of it, and I was immediately hooked. Don't know what ever happened to Dave, but I will be forever grateful to him for introducing me to such audible beauty. Just a fantastic album.

A great example of why RP exists. General high praise for this from other listeners. Me?  It's like any piece you hear playing in a shop selling overpriced handmade jewelry and scented candles.

Definitely seems like the last of the pure "smooth jazz" sound of the mid-1980s, the good progressive kind that's not defined by loud horns or strong percussion.  There's not much like this made anymore.

This puts me back--
'87 ... my late 20's and  living in a cabin on the south central coast of Alaska.  No running water, no electricity, no telephone, only a bike for getting  in and out of town/ to my job.  Saving bucks so that I'd be able to go to college, which I would begin in just one more year.   Tiny propane stove to cook on, breadbox sized wood stove for heat, propane lights, and .... a music box that was rigged up to a deep cell marine battery.  The one luxury that had to be allowed into that primordial existence was the one that provided me with tunes.   And one of the few cassette tapes in that 8' x 10' place that had a loft was this one by Pat Metheny, with Last Train Home getting way more than its fair share of play time.  ... 35 years ago  .... I miss it.   All of it.   Bad.

I love the percussion. Pat uses such an inspired percussion over that sprawling guitar sound of his. There's always a "rock" in Pat's jazz.

I have fallen out of touch with Metheny's recent music. He was one of my very favs in the late '70s through the '90s. His first Group album is superb. And 80/81 has one of the great all time pieces of music, Two Folk Songs: epic 20:00 jazz with an incredible opening and one of the most gorgeous of all guitar solos at the end. American Garage, First Circle and Offramp are very good too. I met him once, at a record store where I worked in Boston's Kenmore Square. I joked that he should pay me a few bucks in royalties since I was trying to get every customer to buy the first Pat Metheny Group album. I caught their concert a few nights later at Berkeley and the audience including me were lifted to the moon. 



I attended MassArt in the '70s, out Brookline Avenue from Kenmore Square back then. I was very into Pat Metheny. Hearing this just now reminds me why.

Kingart, I just saw him on his tour with Side-Eye a couple of weeks ago (February, 2022).  They were great.  What amazed me was the fact that it was an older audience that listened intently without feeling the need to incessantly yell or stand, ruining the experience for everyone else.  His encore was an 8 minute acoustic solo which was played to perfection in total silence.  You could hear every note.  But he still plays that Ibanez at lightning speed. Go see him if you get the chance.  He's not slowing down.  And at 67 he still has great hair.

I just realize why this sounds vaguely familiar, I have the CD since...gosh a long time....need to pull it out and give it a spin. See if my updated equipment can reproduce the bass as garyalex mentions below.

This is one of my many favorites of PMG. As a counterpoint, I also love Pat’s acoustic version of this song on One Quiet Night. It’s at a different tempo, much slower, but just as beautiful, played on his rich baritone guitar.

Sure is.

This remains my favourite Metheny Group album, probably because it was the first one I owned. 

Saw PMG  at a live open-air concert in Montreal in 1989, for free, with over 100,000 fellow music-lovers. That was something. A jazz concert with a crowd that size.

Pat Metheny et al provide terrific road music for navigating British Columbia's mountain roads.  Bought 3 PM albums a while back; time to buy a couple more.

Easy to get lost in the music, and then easy enough to pull out and focus on the road, wildlife, scenery and so on.

YAY- Pat Metheny was once the sonic Ritalin I needed to keep my shit together. I had a phase that included Lee Ritenour, Stanley Clarke and others plying the less traveled routes. Very fun to hear this. Thank you, Bill.

synchronicity... I rarely think of Pat Metheny or hear him (with the exception of backing Joni live). But I've been looking at buying a new guitar recently, and discovered this Linda Manzer, an impressive luthier who made some of Pat's guitars. Just a few hours ago I was watching him play one of her guitars... if you could even call it a guitar.

@Pipes, @Proclivities: the drummer is playing a fast 16 pattern with a set of wire brushes on the snare drum. The effect is to simulate the sound of an old steam locomotive.

Oh boy, it's the song from the Publix Christmas commercial. Takes me back to the early 90's when I was a kid in southern Georgia...
 I figured 10 years ago but by Goph's comment it had to be 15 years ago.

The commercial was produced by then West & Co, now 22 Squared, and featured a family traveling by train to Grandma's houseboat in Florida.  It was - and still is - one of my favorite uses of contemporary music with commercial enterprise.

This is an amazing track. Yes, there is a hi-hat, but most of what you're hearing is actually wire brushes on a snare. I find it provides the perfect complement to the rest of the track---the nostalgic reverb and bright chords offset the tension of the constant brushwork quite well. Great video as well. Even better live. In fact, PM is the most amazing group live
