Summary: Truly amazing!
Review: A fantasic performance. If you are into any of these musicians you MUST buy this DVD and if you have only heard of these musicians BUY this DVD. This is probably the only chance you will see these guys play together. Extremely well recorded (not many CDs sound as good as this). The highlight of this disc for me is the uptempo composition Solar with great interplay between Holland and Dejohnette. The only problem I have is between 42:23 to 41:31, during Solar, the video is not of what is being played (was the footage lost? or is this disc defective?). One of the best DVDs I own.

Summary: POWERHOUSE PERFORMANCES
Review: A thoroughly entertaining DVD of pure jazz featuring powerhouse performances from the incomparable quartet of Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock (it's such a treat to see these two amazing musicians together) Jack DeJohnette and Dave Holland. The sound and vision are immaculate and the camera work shows to the full the incredible musicianship on display. I've always preferred Pat's group endeavours but shows like this have me leaning the other way. Pat looks more relaxed and is clearly enjoying himself here compared with the concentration evident in the We Live Here Live in Japan DVD recently released. Highlight is by far the catchy Hancock classic Canteloupe Island with Pat in unusual territory playing funky lead guitar lines. Herbie goes into overdrive here and stages an explosive piano solo that has the other band members nodding their appreciation. All I can say to any jazz enthusiast is to buy this DVD and be dazzled by the truly stellar performances of these exceptional musicians.

Summary: Amazing work by four excellent musicians
Review: Each of these musical genuises plays off each other's work and creates a unique sound that really rocks. Hancocks piano is, as usual, funky, rhythmic and percussive, not to mention harmonically beautiful. Jack DeJohnette's drumming is outstanding as he shows off his technical abilities as well as his ability to play "out of time" to add tention. Dave Holland is a solid bass player, I only wish they showed off his talent a little more in this video. Pat Metheny's guitar is unmatched. His technical ability is amazing and the long solos gives him a chance to really show his stuff. The highlight of the performance is, by far, Hancock's Cantalope Island. This is the closing piece and it is played better than ever before. The piano into is played with a new funky rhythem that lays down the groove for the rest of the piece. Overall, this is a excellent concert, I wish i was there to see it live.

Summary: Worth every penny
Review: Excellent production! Pioneer really did this one right. I mostly purchased this for Pat but was _very_ pleased with the whole concert. If you like anything that Dejohnette, Hancock and Metheny have done then you must check this out. Holland was a special surprise to say the least. It really is that good.

Summary: Haven't seen yet but I was there
Review: I don't need to see this to know it's awesome. I've seen Pat Metheny many many times and when I saw the June 24th show for free on Boston's Esplanade, it absolutely blew my mind! All four of these players were at the top of their game. It's a rare pleasure when Pat plays outside of his group because he takes a lot more risks than he allows himself to in the confines of his tightly orchestrated PMG endeavors. The other three are equally amazing, acting like they've been playing together for years. I've had a bootleg of the Boston show since it happenned and it still gets played quite a bit. Out of the hundreds of concerts I've seen, this one easily fits in to my all-time top 10.

Summary: Buy!
Review: I purchased this upon recommendation, buying the "We Live Here" DVD on Amazon (I'm primarily a Metheny fan), and am completely amazed with this performance. Great tune selection, immaculate improvisation, and Pat is not wearing his striped shirt! If you are a fan of any of these musicians, you will undoubtedly appreciate this recording.
