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
I Love This DVD As a casual fan, I was surprised at how thoroughly I enjoyed this disc. I've followed Metheny's career sporadically since the mid-70s, and I've always felt that (sorry Forrest Gump) a Pat Metheny album was like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you're going to get. But I've always enjoyed the adventurous spirit inherent in the music, if not always the music itself.
Having seen "We Live Here", I'm prepared to dust off the CDs and give them a fresh listen. I didn't particularly care for the interviews edited into the concert footage -- they would have been fine were they included as an add-on feature, *after* the show. But watching Metheny perform and interact with the other excellent musicians in the group gave me a renewed appreciation for the PMG.
I went to "First Circle" with some skepticism. It seemed to me a difficult composition to successfully perform live, coupled with the fact that Pedro Aznar's vocals were replaced with those by David Blamires and Mark Ledford. But they carried it off perfectly before an enthusiastic Japanese audience. "First Circle" and "Antonia" are well worth the price of admission.
In terms of production values, sound, picture quality and content, this is one of the finer concert DVDs in my library. I can't stop playing it.
I was hoping for so much more
The audio CD "We Live Here" is fantastic! I've spent many nights listening to it with the lights down low just trying to absorb all that Pat and his group delivers. The music is intense and climatic at times, yet soothing at others. So, when I purchased this DVD, I was hoping to receive the same feeling I got with the CD with the addition of the live performance.
The first problem is the placement of the interviews. After each song, an interview with a member of the band appears. Why wasn't this placed as a Special Feature? Can you imagine buying a movie that had the commentary turned on and you were unable to disable it? I usually play concert DVDs while having company over for the music and the visual effect. I can't with this DVD. The breaks in-between each song was a poor decision (IMHO).
The sound is great, yet the video quality suffers a bit. This DVD would be best appreciated by other musicians. All members of Pat's band are phenomenal and are fun to watch. The expressive faces as they play each note is great.
This is one to rent, not to own. I'll watch it a few more times, then sell it.
Impecable!
Pat Metheny es un tipo muy grande...su musica es el reflejo de la excelencia. En concierto la produccion es perfecta...no puedo expresar con palabras coherentes y no melosas, que tan bonito es este dvd....pero le recomiendo que lo compre sin dudarlo mucho!!
