This is a 1980 soundboard live recording of the Pat Metheny Group. It compiles both the early and late shows performed at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. While neither show is complete—as the latter portions of both sets are missing—the audio quality is outstanding. Featuring superb stereo soundboard audio, the content is excellent and enjoyable even for casual listeners. During "Meantime" in the late show, Metheny begins playing the intro to "Jaco" but quickly corrects himself. It appears he may have skipped a song in the setlist; it is quite a rare moment, but his ability to instantly get back on track demonstrates his true professionalism.
