Allan Holdsworth on synthaxe playing "looking Glass" 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.

a guitar so ugly it makes allan holdsworth look handsome!

[SalvvOrtiz]

This guy is so good he can play a chain saw.

So glad this instrument fell thru the cracks. I supported Holdsy during this time but man I was not a happy camper. He played some brilliant music with it, but there's no fucking tone like that of a good guitar/amp combination.

The 80s make me want to wipe out humanity. How can it be that everyone that lived through it isn't on heavy antidepressants right now?

[guitarzan73]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say no guy in history has ever gotten laid by playing this guitar.

[CallistoAshus]

Ethereal order in chaos.

[pipsqueek14]
