Memories are made of this…
Live at Poole, Dorset, August 2008.
“A pleasingly large crowd at the 1500 seater Lighthouse gave them a deserved standing ovation and the quartet returned for two encores.” thejazzman.com

One of my favourite Gary Burton/Pat Metheny albums…
Personnel
- Gary Burton – vibraphone
- Pat Metheny – guitar
- Steve Swallow – bass guitar
- Eberhard Weber – double bass
- Dan Gottlieb – drums
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating, “Although none of the individual songs caught on, the attractive sound of the post-bop unit and an opportunity to hear Pat Metheny in his formative period make this a CD reissue worth exploring”
Recorded 1976

Still by far his best album for me. And I agree to some of the comments, seeing him in concerts is a mixed bag, and I have never seen a memorable concert with him so far…

There are two ECM albums with Stanley Clarke that I like. Chick Corea’s Return to Forever and Stanley Cowell’s Illusion Suite. With School Days and onward, he migrated more towards commercial pop/fusion jazz, which I don’t care for and also (IMO) feel was a waste of his talent at the time for jazz.
I saw Return to Forever in concert when he was still playing a concert double bass, and he was amazing playing that.

Understood. I’m just a Jazz fan looking for Speakers that sound good with my primary taste of music. I’ll ask the question elsewhere.
I was just exposed to this recording:
