John/Larry/Paco is nothing more than a clinical exhibition of guitar virtuosity as in the final track Guardian Angels. His incredible accellarations and Paco with his 'rasgueado', the use of the fingers nails like a mitrailleur) but for me the trio The trio John/Paco/Al featured three virtuosic guitarplayers who had their unique style (Al with his 'deaden of the strings', John with Then the titletrack with lots of jaw-dropping scale acrobatics but again I miss the spark.

The second composition Lotus Feet is a wonderful, a bit sensitive duet from Paco and John but the next track Morning Magic between Larry and Paco and it is no surprise that in the end only Paco got a huge applause for his awesome fast runs (picados In the first track Entre Dos Aguas ( a huge hit single for Paco de Lucia in The Eighties) Paco does his best but there is no

Special spark (in flamenco it's called 'duende', the very and rare special moments between musician and the audience when you feelĬonnected). McLaughlin/DeLucia/DiMeola are superior, not only in a way of technical wizardy but also in the way of creating emotion and that McLaughlin/De Lucia/DiMeola two times, it was a mindblowing experience, so virtuosic and the crowd was ecstatic about all thoseĬascades of scale-acrobatics, goose bumps! If I compare that trio to the trio on this DVD, I have to say that In the early Eighties I have seen the trio So I searched for DVD's (I prefer theseĪbove CD's) and found work from Sabicas, The Gypsy Kings, Vicente Amigo and. This evening I decided to indulge myself with my second musical passion: flamenco guitar. Posted Saturday, J| Review this album | Report (Review #130490) The camera work and sound quality of the concert are decent for 1979. You do get a section of extras with biographies and discographies if you'd like to get to the guys a little better.

It's a basic no frills video with no video extras. The disc wraps up with Guardian Angels aka Guardian Angel on Friday Night. No they don't go crazy and trash the venue throwing crap at the stage, though I do wonder how many took the opportunity for a restroom break at various points during the song. Mahavishnu Overload, clocking in at 23 minutes and 49 seconds! Some might find it excessive, but they really use it as a vehicle for improvisation and the audience goes wild at the end. Then they do Mahavishu Orchestra's Meeting of the Spirits. I haven't heard the original, but in their interpretation they sure try to play a slow song fast. I didn't actually know that, I had to look it up once I could make out what John was saying before the song. Next all three join together for the rest of the show starting with Morning of the Carnival aka "Manhã de Carnaval", written by Luiz Bonfá, from a film called Black Orpheus. McLaughlin and De Lucia pair off for a nice rendition of McLaughlin's Lotus Feet taking a little break from the furious arpeggios. I'm a little confused as to what's up with that and the Internets weren't able to help me sort it out. I first heard Mediterranean Sundance on Di Meola's 1977 release, Elegant Gypsy. Valentine's day in 1979, which I believe was a Wednesday night.Ĭoryell and De Lucia kick things off with Entres Dos Aguas, which is identical Di Meola's Mediterranean Sundance. This show was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on St. These three went on a tour of Europe in 19. Larry Coryell actually did a guitar trio album recorded before this in 19 with John Scofield and Joe Beck. A year before Friday Night In San Francisco, McLaughlin and De Lucia teamed up with Larry Coryell taking the seat that Al Dimeola would later.
