That's certainly true in the case of this 1995 Japanese show, even though much of the material (five of 13 songs) on We Live Here is drawn from the album of that name, which was not one of the group's finest. At its best (as on Metheny "classics" like "First Circle" and "Minuano"), the Metheny Group's music isn't really jazz, or what's usually called fusion, or world music, but rather a fluid, distinctive blend of them all; it's improvised yet composed, often quite beautiful ("Farmer's Trust," "Antonia") but also frequently challenging ("Scrap Metal"). Metheny, Mays, and the five other members of the group are all superb players, and play is exactly what they do--this is a no-frills enterprise, with some brief musician interviews between tracks (plus superb Dolby 5.1 digital or stereo sound) but no bonus DVD features. That's no surprise. With Pat Metheny it's always been strictly about the music, and that's enough. --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews of Pat Metheny Group - We Live Here (Live in Japan)
Captures the "Live Metheny Experience" very well For fans of the familiar Blue and White stripped shirt performer, you will not be disappointed! I have had the pleasure to see PMG live only about 6 times and each time I wished I could see a little closer. This DVD brings you very close to the musicians. The sound is quite good as well. <
>For the new listener, this is a great way to be introduced to PMG and what it offers. <
>Buy it.
The Sweet Spot Between Experimentation And Accessibility
This is an excellent DVD, and the perfect companion to a nice glass of wine on a relaxing evening.

>You get all the good, classic songs. The musicianship is excellent. And the whole package works.

<
>Despite the negative reviews, I didn't find anything to complain about. I think this is probably the best song selection on a DVD by the group, although the More Travels Live CD is also excellent.

<
>Pat has changed significantly since this era, and true fans would do well to own this DVD as a reminder of a golden period in the group's evolution.
<

<
>This, in retrospect, is a good dividing line before what followed, a great deal of experimentation and departure from the 1989-1995 period where Pat and the group found the right groove and balance between experimentation and commercial success.
<

<
>There is plenty of finger work to look at, although more would have been better, and a bit of slow motion for us guitar guys to figure out what the heck he's doing would have been even more fantastic.
<

<
>Highlights for me are "Here To Stay," "Have You Heard," and "Vidalia."

<
>Well worth owning, and playing over and over again.
