Allan Holdsworth band playing "non brewed condiment" tune

Edited by Renato Sommexe, in this video recorded at frankfurt 1986 we have the chance to see Alan, Gary Husband on drums, Jimmy Johnson on Bass and the amazing extraordinary Key akagi on keys at the time using the best keyboards available, yamaha CP80 for pianos and Yamaha DX7 for synth sounds, sometimes stealing the scene showing a tremendous intimacy with alan's complicated compositions, some of them not featuring keyboads in the original recording, in others replacing the also magnificent Alan Pasqua a long term partner in alan's career. Key akagi also can be seen here at youtube on Miles Davis tour in a Kitaro Look due to the long hair. Also alike is his presence in one of Dimeola's 80's shows and you can hear his improvisations along with tavaglione's wind controller synth solos in gambale's alive album which I long to see one day in video also, if someone has it please get in touch, let's share.

That melody is gorgeous, and Steps Ahead is way different.

Holdsworth is connected to what sound module?

@photophobiaProject

I'm not so sure they would...

But we would have to hear from one to know for sure, so let's not make claims.

@ExtremeBogom the rave folks would disagree

@ExtremeBogom

lol. that would explain why Pink Floyd and other bands were so psychedelic.

@Fallingglaz3 Fully agreed - this concert would sound far less potent without a keyboard player - great work from Kei.

I have a theory as to why music is generally not as inspiring as "back then" (60's 70's 80's).

Look at the drug usage back then compared to now....much more psychedelic usage, and less stimulants all over the place.

Nowadays it's all meth, and junk....and (all) drugs are generally sneered at because of it.

If only psychs would flood the market again, music would get a lot more interesting.

Just my 2 cents :]

Everybody sees Allan as a guitarist or Synthaxist and then they have have trouble to understand(hear) his concepts; actually, he's just a (jazz)musician who happens to play guitar & Synthaxe...his father was a jazz pianist and his hero is John Coltrane.

I'm a pretty darn good guitarist. I tried to play a couple of his chords once. A few minutes later (and still not able to do it) I'm like "what is going on here?!?!?!? Who is this man?!?!?" Zappa once said that Vinnie Coliuta is a mutant. HOLDSWORTH is a mutant. Let's appreciate the guy while we still have him.

5 stars!

Somewhere in the future there's a solar system laughing at this dated ol' sound. Oh, how early second millenium, they scoff. Gary Husband is an astonishing musician, of course, and for my money has made the best complimentary pairing with Allan to date. Nice upload quality. Big Thanks!
