  • Great post thank you!!!

  • i hate how dimeola is out of sync and double picks the part

  • Beast of the Best  !

  • McLaughlin # 1

  • Man, John McLaughlin is not smiling, which, if you've seen him play much, is kind of rare. I wonder if DiMeola dicked the whole gig up, as he is rumoured to do.

  • @guitarcolossus , DiMeola is a dick for sure.. Search youtube for ' Paco de Lucia & John McLaughlin II - Live" by nanohacker He has their whole concert posted in 5 parts. Also he has "Rapidshare' links where you can download the complete video. The video quality is very good. The performance is one of my favorite. Paco and John smile a lot. :-)

  • @kencc4791 That's true this "Paco de Lucia & John McLaughlin II - Live" and also the other pieces(I to V) are the most musical guitar performance I ever heard!!

    On that concert recorded at Freiburg is no room for a third guitar player.

    I think the problem also is that Al is not using a nylon string guitar that makes his sound too dominant.

  • Staande Ovatie!

  • That's like a Jazzy Flamenco! Cool stuff!!

  • maynner, that's b.s. and ou know it. Al plays

    very rhthmically. Hell this riff is arhythmic on pourpose something he toys with on many recordings. I agree though that John and Paco are the better, more musical players generally, but it's because of an excellent sense of the melodies, and fire and passion that they can improvise at those lighning speeds and still sound beautiful.

  • soberbios asi deben ser los tres soberbios carajo como dioses terrenales

  • increible los 3 genios escuharlos es un pasada estoi orgulloso de vivir estos tiempos y escuchar esta musika esto no se repetira nunka

  • Al always has to go over the top on the signature...the solo was great even if he can't leave out the "look what I can play" stuff.

    But like litisbar says the magic is ALL three together.

  • They are all Super Heavy weight musicans no dbout bout it...but John and Paco are on a whole other level....I'v Never seen a guitar player move in and out of styles like Mclaughlin has....Mclaughlin #1,De Lucia#2,Di Meola #3.....im not taking anything away from Al he Awsome at what he does...Just saw him in concert with Return To Forever...In was Cleano...

  • have you heard Paco´s version of Concierto de Aranjuez? you should before comparing John with Paco

  • PACO #1!!!!

  • Als great but he's tring to prove he's on top which is questionable. When it comes to playing from the heart Paco and John have it together. Al, doesn't quite cut it; peole are so impressed by the way he solo's that they'll believe any rythm or riff Al plays fits with everything he plays. Truth is he can't play Rythm. He may take it for soloing but that's about it. John and Paco enjoy playing with each other because they share a connection that you can see in them, and well Al? Go figure!

  • I respect the other opinions but for me the three players are great and each one has his personal way to express himself

  • John Mclaughlin #1

  • anyone who thinks al can't improvise should see this: Al Dimeola jams @ NAMM 2005 (type in the search field). i think THIS IS improvisation both rhythm and melody.(most people pay no attention to rhythmic variations, maybe thats why they think al can't improvise?) forgive my english, im hungarian

  • I don't understand people saying Al can't improvise! Are you crazy man?

  • you are right!

  • boring repetitive runs... hummm a little respect for a great musician... and the best solo on this tune is the one of al definitively...

  • al di meola #1

  • John Mclaughlin #1

  • John Mc Laughlin #1

  • John Mclaughlin forever!!

  • Paco mitico sopra a tutti

  • ah ah ah... one has to say that the brushing of john is also not bad ;-)

  • They seem a bit bored...

  • yep I think at this period they were not really coming good together. According to some rumours there was a big fight between Al and Paco at this time... That would explain there attitude on the stage... But in any case they play great...
