Customer Reviews:

it is all here and it is cosmic wonderful.......2006-12-14

if you are reading this review--I will assume you are at least a passing
Pat Metheny fan.you have found a gem.just about everything you could want
as far as sound quality,song selection,musicianship (Pat and Lyle Mays are
both in top notch form here)and the genuine,obvious joy they are taking in
this live performance are a giant treat.track #4--"HALF LIFE OF ABSOLUTION" starts out (first minute or so)a little slow--(this is important because if you are using media player to preview you may think this is a "throw away" track.it is not.)it is 15+ minutes of some of the best guitar work you have ever heard--pure hypnotic headphone music.the first time I heard it, I just shook my head and said "wow".and I NEVER say
"wow".this disk is offered at 2 price points--the less expensive version
(around $5.00 as of Dec,2006)is just fine.this entire disk is well worth
the expenditure of your entertainment $. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Whoa! Are we listening to the same album?.......2003-03-14

I'm amazed at the negative reviews. Of course they have a right to their opinion, but I'd love to know what the reviewers weren't hearing that I am. This album really travels, and has a fun, celebratory energy.

Provides listening pleasure.......2002-10-19

I travel often and this is one CD that I will not leave home without. The music carries me to a place that is full of wonderful thoughts and feelings. The fact that it's a live performance infuses it with even greater energy for I hear the PMG putting their all into their playing. It is one of my favorites by the PMG.

A boring album.......2002-09-12

Pat Metheny is a creative genius in the jazz world, but this album totally misses....it's boring, despite all the enthusiasm
from the audience.

PMG LIVE!.......2002-06-29

I found this album to be their most energetic, a kind of energy which can only be produced playing live. And for that reason I consider it one of their best cd's to date, if not their best. The recordings sound even better and more fluent than the studio recordings, especially noticed on Have You Heard, The First Circle and Last Train Home (much better live!). PMG is definitely one of those rare bands that truly sounds even better live. The only regret I have with this album is that they did not include "Minuano (Six Eight)". I think that song would have been great as the last track and it really would have fit this brazilian-influenced project. Of course the cd could have become overcrowded and I guess Minuano would have really fought Third Wind because they are very similar in many respects, one example being their fast-paced tempo, as so are many other songs such as Beat 70, Better Days Ahead and some others I mentioned prior. But I am just splitting hairs and I do enjoy the collection of songs Metheny has put together! I highly recommend this cd. One of my all-time favourites!
