Pat Metheny Group (Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays) / Tokyo, Japan – April 3, 1990 (Complete)

While the world tour for their 1990 Grammy-winning album *Letter From Home* primarily featured large-scale concert halls, this performance at a live music club in Shibuya, Tokyo, offered a rare and intimate setting—a venue holding only a few hundred people. This release captures the entire concert via an audience recording. In this close-proximity atmosphere—impossible to experience in cavernous halls—the ensemble reaches its absolute peak: Pat Metheny’s guitar, Lyle Mays’ magnificent keyboards, the rock-solid rhythm section of Steve Rodby and Paul Wertico, and the percussion work of Armando Marçal weave together seamlessly. Signature tracks are performed with even greater intensity and dynamism than on the studio recordings. This is a historic live document—an essential item for fans—capturing the Pat Metheny Group at the height of their powers in 1990 within the miraculous setting of a Tokyo club.
