Others that killed it for me were Larry Carlton: Sleepwalk (crazy, crazy good), Jeff Beck: There and Back, Becker Bros (live): Heavy Metal Bebop, Spyro Gyra: Morning Dance, ... I was onto Robben Ford early too (some Yellowjackets live stuff) and worshipped Pat Metheny (Group).

Great list! I too was a major Pat Metheny Group fanatic. I believe I have seen PMG more times than any other band. I can’t even count the number.

Thx. Me too, yet only about 7 times, and similar for anything Toto/Lukather.
First time I saw PMG was so magical. I couldn't believe Pat could actually just improvise those types of solos That was the concert where he started from the back of the hall with just the synth guitar.
Love how it seems the crowd always needs 5 minutes of applause after First Circle or Are You Going With Me while he just has to stand there, "TY... TY..." The Secret Story concert was so great too. Last time I saw him nearby some 5 years ago and it didn't touch me so much anymore -- a compliment to Lyle Mays, I guess...

I think the Still Life Talking tour was the first time I saw him. I loved the Secret Story tour too. I think I caught every tour up until speaking of Now. Some tours I saw them a couple times. Haven’t seen him in quite some time. I can’t remember if I saw The Way Up tour. I have the recording. I agree, without Lyle Mays a major part of the beauty of that band is gone. I loved the Mays, Wertico, Rodby years most…I think. Although seeing Mark Egan and Danny Gottlieb would have been pretty cool. Music like that is hard to come by.
