Jack DeJohnette - Drums, Herbie Hancock - Keyboards, Dave Holland - Bass, Pat Metheney - Guitars. For the first time, these four masterful musicians come together to form a jazz group most people would never expect to see happen. Taking their collaborations around the world, they toured Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States, performing concerts and festivals to sold out audiences and rave reviews. On June 23, 1990, this extraordinary group performed two concerts at the Mellon Jazz Festival at the Philadelphia Academy of music. Both shows were filmed and have been carefully edited to create a technically flawless video of a truly "once in a lifetime" event. All of the songs were selected with great care, as might be expected from a band of this caliber.

Pat Metheny Group: Imaginary Day Live captures the band at a creative peak, turning the ambitious sound of the 1997 album whit the same name as the DVD into a vivid concert experience. Where Pat Metheny’s lyrical guitar lines moves between gentle beauty and explosive improvisation, while Lyle Mays adds harmonies, shimmering keyboards and dramatic shifts in mood. And Steve Rodby’s bass and Paul Wertico’s drumming gives the music both weight and flexibility. As they are supported by intricate percussion and atmospheric textures. So the performance moves easily from intimate reflective passages to complex, high-energy ensemble playing of their blending jazz, rock, world music and cinematic soundscapes.
