PAT METHENY GROUP

VIC THEATER, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 29TH 1987

In 1986 Pat Metheny released Song X, an uncompromising free jazz collaboration with Ornette Coleman. Thereafter he signed with Geffen Records and recorded the considerably more accessible Still Life (Talking), which won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance.

This superb set was recorded at the close of 1987 for broadcast on WXRT FM, and features several cuts from that LP, as well as a handful of other classics, and is presented here together with background notes and images.

Track Listing:

1. THE FIRST CIRCLE
2. LAST TRAIN HOME
3. ARE YOU GOING WITH ME?
4. LETTER FROM HOME
5. (IT'S JUST) TALK
6. MINUANO
7. THIRD WIND
