I met and interviewed Al di Meola in 1989 for a local jazz magazine at the time. We spoke about his intergration of the "new" MIDI guitar synths of the day. The tracking problems etc. I'm still not a fan of MIDI guitar and I really don't care for that aweful looking MIDI pickup on the "outside" of such a wonderful guitar as this. "I have the same guitar in the natural finish". But Al was a very open and great guy to talk to for nearly 1 1/2 hours. Great musician as well. JF in Fla.

This is NOT "Beyond the Mirage". This is a capable musician playing for his own entertainment, not his audience's. The real version is a masterpiece, this is just jamming.
actually, it is. al wrote the song, so i'm pretty sure he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. also, whats wrong with jamming? FURTHERMORE, he better not play for the audience's entertainment. drimsun is right, music is self expression. playing for the audience... is called selling out. when you play what you want, then the people that truly like it will follow.
You are so right. That studio version, you could put it on for a nights dinner ( which I have ) with your wife, and she will forget just about everything and have a good time with you. I have the disc right here with me.
when al will stop that "flute" effect

Hi,Friend!
Thank you for your comment!
"Misterio"...well...I'll upload someday,maybe.
Ripping this disk is so difficult. I'll try again another way. Wait for my upload.
