The first release from Pat Metheny (group) after moving to Nonesuch in 2005, “The Way Up” is a 70-minute suite of songs, each with its own song, that he had been planning since his debut. It was highly praised by fans and critics around the world, and won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album in 2006. The tour to recreate this masterpiece became a hot topic in various places, and tickets quickly sold out everywhere. This 3-disc set, which includes the best performance from that tour at the Cologne Philharmonic in Germany in June 2005, including the complete performance of “The Way Up” in the highest quality sound, is now available for the first time!
