Travels is the Pat Metheny Group's first live album, released in 1983. It won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance.
The album consists of live material recorded in July, October, and November 1982, in Philadelphia, Dallas, Sacramento, Hartford, and Nacogdoches (Texas). The Group for this album consisted of Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Steve Rodby, Dan Gottlieb, and guest Nana Vasconcelos.
It was voted number 570 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).[4]
Travels was recorded as part of the tour for the Group's 1982 studio album, Offramp, but also featured previously unrecorded and unreleased songs.
In the liner notes for his ECM Rarum compilation album, Metheny expressed great love for the live rendition of 'Are You Going with Me?' and appreciated the audience for whom it was played in Philadelphia.
The track 'Song for Bilbao', dedicated to audiences in Bilbao, Spain, was often played as an encore.

“Offramp” is the third album by the Pat Metheny Group, released in 1982. It won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance. The album contains the popular ballad “Are You Going with Me?”. Offramp is the first studio album on which Metheny used a guitar synthesizer, a Roland GR-300 controlled with a Roland G-303 guitar synthesiser controller. The guitar synthesizer became one of Metheny’s most frequently used instruments. “Offramp” is also the first Group album to feature vocals, which became a fundamental component of the band’s sound.
If 1980’s As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls was defined by Pat Metheny’s charisma, its less accessible but certainly rewarding successor, Offramp, finds him leaning more toward the abstract. But as cerebral as Metheny gets on such atmospheric pieces as “Are You Going with Me?” and “Au Lait,” his playing remains decidedly lyrical and melodic. Clearly influenced by Jim Hall, the thoughtful Metheny makes excellent use of space, choosing his notes wisely and reminding listeners that, while he has heavy-duty chops, he’s not one to beat everybody over the head with them. Even when he picks up the tempo for the difficult and angular title song, he shuns empty musical acrobatics. Throughout the CD, Metheny enjoys a powerful rapport with keyboardist Lyle Mays, who also avoids exploiting his technique and opts for meaningful storytelling.
