Darn That Dream - Louis Stewart & Tal Farlow - Live in Scotland, Part 1 of 7

[Banakaal]

I heard and met both of these guys. Not together though. They are both giants, and thoroughly nice guys (Well I suppose where Tal is concerned, was is the tense.. sadly. RIP Tal.) They had time for you in the breaks and didn't just vanish backstage to snort or gargle a brew! Memorable players and it's sad that a guy like Louis can be ignored while he played. Needed a good keyboard to jump in and  pump up the volume! Thanks for this.

it also seems the snare drum was opened and Louis got up to shut it because it was obviously resonating - funny!!

Since I was the guy who shot this video at the Queens Hall, Edinburgh on 18 November 1988 I can give the facts. I sponsored this concert to bring Tal and Louis together onstage. This was their very first meeting. They played for almost two hours without rehearsing anything. Gordon Wright.

«hear the seaside in Tals playing?»

Very interesting suggestion - i'll remember that - and Tal, always - what a wonderful human being he must have been.

[deangelico]

Thank you so much for this clip. I can't wait to see the other one's.

[MOGLIDER]

A great clip.

Tal was always one of Louis'guitar heroes.Louis first met Tal when visiting N.Y.

as a band member in about 1961.Tal could not believe that he was so well known in Europe & was amazed that Louis had ever heard of him!

I'm aware that this engagement was initially to feature Louis with Warne Marsh (they were friends), and that Warne's death resulted in the great Mr. Farlow making the trip to Scotland instead.
