Pat Metheny Group, Hempstead, NY, 11-17-1979 (Pre-FM)

This is a really great recording of the original Pat Metheny Group.  This was recorded just after the bands second album American Garage was released.  American Garage reached number one on the jazz album charts.  While the American Garage album itself was not technically recorded very well the compositions were good and the album was for many a great introduction to the transcendent sound of this band.
