THE REVIEW

The material is embarrassingly rare, being an experimental version of a music video, year 1984, produced to promote the PMG's world tour after the release of the album "First Circle". There are no true music videos recorded to accompany Metheny's pieces. However, hundreds of hours of Live performances are traceable, and this video clip represents an extraordinary exception and uniqueness.

Accompanying the fun track is a colorful and surreal video clip that contains snapshots of the musicians' faces, images of a gymnast in athletic phase (to accompany the dynamic sound), and roads of the Midwestern United States, slightly distorted by psychedelic colors, to symbolize the sense of travel (not just musical). It's not a true directorial operation, but a quick and impactful assembly of images. Personally, it leaves me surprised and amused, and it is an effective interpretation-filtration of the dynamic music of the piece "Yolanda You Learn".

The video is traceable on YouTube (in its full version) and was retrieved a few years ago by a television station, Tmc2, which has been defunct for several years, born with the intention of being a musical television station, a bit like MTV, but with slightly more refined videos.
