This is a 1982 soundboard live recording of the Pat Metheny Group. It features high-quality stereo sound that is sure to satisfy even casual listeners. While the same label has released a recording from a performance just a few days apart—and the setlist is identical—the actual performances are distinct. The following information is adapted from the details provided for that other release.
This recording captures the era when Steve Rodby had replaced Mark Egan in the early Pat Metheny Group lineup and percussionist Nana Vasconcelos had joined the band—the very period surrounding the release of the Grammy Award-winning album *Offramp*. It is an excellent title that allows you to enjoy the masterpieces from *Offramp* performed live by this specific lineup.
