Man, this band is amazing! All four musicians are at the top of their game. As a bass player, myself, I think Steve Swallow has the toughest job on stage: Playing that groovy, ostinato bass line, solid, for 15 minutes! He's like a zen master on the bass. It's a mini-master class in concentration, and on how to swing/groove the heck out of a simple bass line. Beautiful.

Especially during the drum solo. Any lesser man would have gotten lost in those shifting sands.

Yeah even though the others are burning the house down, Steve Swallow is the real hero here since his foundation allows us to know that it is in fact a house being burned down.

​@hugo-qo2gnI do love Pat Metheny but can't stand the timbre of that synth-effect. Sends my boner straight into the ground. Argh! I had to listen to it to write that message!!!

Cant believe that bass player kept that up for 14 minutes. Tendons of steel.

After all the dull drum solos I've heard, that was a treat.

Round 2:15 Pat proves one more time that he´s one of the best musicians ever!

Scofield! so great.

Yeah... a super group - playing a not super simple groove- to keep THAT kind energy for that long. And Stewart’s solo.... Swallow laying it in SO deep. Fun.

Metheny's solo is a message from other universes.

Bill Stewart is THE BEST !!!!!!!!!

so amazing.....these guitars, drums and the bass

Loved this.

Two huge inspirations! This is great!

This is such a super- super- super-groovy tune! I don't get tired to watch it over and over!

Many thanks again for the upload indeed! Seeing Sco with Pat PLUS Steve Swallow live is unbelievable!

Man am I glad this is on video here! This group was put when I was really getting into jazz in high school. I listened to their album so much. Steve Swallow was under my radar back then as someone new to it all but I sure do appreciate seeing him here now, and Bill Stewart! He looks so young but was killing it back then as he still is now!

2:50 Sco's face when Metheny hits that otherworldly run. ;

Actually jazz is more of a state of mind to experiment,to keep things fresh and to be original.People don't get it.

Обожаю этих парней ! Лучшие гитарные дуэты!

Stewart is crazy good on the kit.

Великолепный дуэт Великолепных музыкантов ! Лучшие гитаристы!

Steve: "Alright, guys that was a nice little 2 minute jam we had there. Alright!" Guys: "Um, Steve, that was like 17 minutes..."

I think the all song and solos are a message from other universes!

É grandioso, grandioso demais !

out-freaking-standing!!!!!!

WOW They are both so different and yet similar and both so Wonderful. If Hendrix could have played jazz he wouldve sounded a bit like this. LOVE IT. they do complement each other.

woah first time ive ever seen anyone playing a parker bass. Looks like he's having as much fun as I have on my parker guitar. ...and this shit freakin ROCKS!

freakin awesome

Great

Love this. Metheny getting rowdy. Swallow's bass is nasty.

sumptuously!

😊🏆😁🎸Fabulous...

bassist is extremely proper

🙏🙏🙏❤️

mr. pat is on a roll! well supported by swallow and stewart!

weirdest guitar solo i ever heard. its like a tripped out trumpet. sweet.

hi there,nice tune,i think.

4:10 in sooo deep! Swallow's the man you want on your team!!!!!

Holy shit he's an alien.

why? it' so damn cool that trumpet effect!

Wow Brad Dourif on drums and Klaus Kinski on bass. What could go wrong?

I think that was just a new thing at the time: "WOW! ITS SYNTH FOR THE GUITAR!!! "whereupon he, like everyone else, went back to traditional stuff . ps- if you follow scofield, its probably not too bad an idea to have some different sound up your sleeve lol

Великий

sounds like Meth's GR synth isn't tracking quite as well as it normally does! always the most genius no matter the liability though!

🌾🌱🙄💙

Mom i'm scared

i wish the zoom was closer and more distortion used on the guitars.

I get lost and then they take me home

If it didn't happen first, Metheny would be a really unusal addition to Scofield/Stewart/Swallow trio that we know from the future

Someone knows the year of this show? Thanks!

If you want to know jazz, this is your first lesson: sing the bass parts in yourself and watch what scofield and metheny are playing over this...

So raw and utterly organic. Funk Jazz du jour! What kind of guitar is Metheny playing tho'?

If your drummer can't kick your ass, do you really want him there

Add Kenny G and you have a band leader

1st rule of live music video.....close up of bass players face when drummer solos .

pat is not from this world :)

and haircuts... XD

As much as I enjoyed Scofield's solo in the first part, I just don't get what Metheny is doing here...

I have to agree.

it's almost like they're doing drugs together. just fiending on it.

no! he didnt give him taste in clothes aswell... ;)

Metheny`s Sound is horrible, but the lines he is playing are great. His best album is "Question and Answer" that was his absolute best time as a guitarist ever. The later works could not reach that outstanding quality. By the way, from my point of view it is one of the best guitar albums of all times.

First of all, those aren't crappy sounds. Unusual, maybe, occasionally annoying - maybe, but even more traditional guitar tones like Wes or Benson can get annoying. Like you said, new sounds open a new range of musical possibilities and expression. Strange about your example with McLaughlin though, I wouldn't consider him in the same league as these two. For my taste, he's boring, over-technical and very often unmusical.

altough i find Pat one of the greatest musician today, i really find annoying this solo. I dont know, maybe the sound, maybe i'm not ready to understand it, but if it wasnt Pat, i would have said " what a bad guitar player"

Here I am in the comments trying to figure out how to find this tone. As a guy who got my chops on metal, moved to producing pop/hip-hop/trap and now on a jazz/fusion journey, tying things together. I know exactly how to work this tone. Reminds me a lot of Brecker, anyway. Coming from a guy who isn't a massive Pat fan yet but trying to find the right stuff.

My God, grimace city! All a bit too posey for me-a pity because it is a very good band. I don't like the funny sounds and I can recall some far more riveting playing from all of them. I do get fed up with Metheny's recycling of the same ideas over and over -maybe bebop died for the same reason.

Sorry I upset you, all I can say in my defence is that I love jazz and perhaps my passion for the music gets in the way of my judgement. I like all the musicians in that clip but i guess it takes a jazz musician to understand what they are setting out to achieve. Peace brother.

I’ve always Hated Synth Guitar! Even back then the tone was pure crap! To each their own though.

everyone sounds boring compared to sco. ;)
