      Al DiMeola isnt all Flamenco (my limited knowledge). Flamenco has that rhythm and these guys just ego shredding lol. After 30 years of bass, live, studio, etc. I really really miss a band member walking in front of my rig as I drop a "B". They be upset...i only reorganized their guts!!!lmao
      People ask me what music i like... I like it all. Pantera to Lauryn Hill. Shoulders/neck injuries say i can only listen. Not playing anymore is the worst.

    I don't mean to take anything from the other two, but Paco de Lucia is in a world all by himself where no one can even dare to come close to his greatness. This may sound like I'm being a diehard fanboi, but he is not even my favorite flamenco player, I'm just stating the facts ; this man was made of legends.

    A short story.......As a young lad, I traveled to Europe, to Spain, in search of Flamenco. Walking those mythical streets for hours, I stumbled upon Calle (Street) Ilustracion #7....the home of Paco de Lucia. I bravely, yet nervously, rang the bell and his lovely mother, Lucia, welcomed and escorted me to where Paco was studying in the back sunroom. With food & drink at hand...a typical Mediterranean custom I knew so very well as a Hellene ( Greek ), we spoke and played what seemed like hours and, at the end, promised that I would arrange a concert for him in Chicago. We bonded immediately then. He offered to teach me in Algeciras ( his summer home ).....yet ,foolishly, I became entangled with a beautiful young lady from South Africa...GRAVE MISTAKE. Paco later on said that he would have stayed with that "Mujer", too ! Before I left Spain, he made me promise a concert in Chicago and I agreed. Years passed, when back in Chicago, I established the Classical & Flamenco Guitar Studies at the Guitar Dept. at the famed "Arlington School of Music", in Arlington Heights, IL. With these credentials, I worked up enough courage to approach famed Impresario Harry Zelzer of Allied Arts Corp at Orchestra Hall in Chicago and, as he quibbled ( money, of course ) with Paco's International Impresario Sol Hurok in New York City, I persuaded both of them to bring Paco de Lucia to Chicago for a gala concert. Zelzer even agreed to bring the fabulous Sabicas (The King of the Flamenco Guitar) also...on the same Guitar Concert Series including the mythical Andres Segovia. I called Sabicas in New York....alas no answer. This proved to be the greatest "Guitar Series" in Chicago's History! I called Paco long distance (no cell phones then) and he told me his agent informed him of his Chicago debut. Paco then told me to grab my guitar and preceded in working with me on "Entre Dos Aguas" as I was holding the phone, glued to my chin...for over an hour. No cell phones then....Ouch! “Que No... Hombre !” "NO NO... La Menor 7 (a minor 7)"...Paco would scream. “No Maldita Sea. JUGAR CORRECTAMENTE....TU MARICON !! ( how rude ). This went on for 30 minutes more until he was satisfied with my results. He arrived in Chicago and, staying at my apartment, we played all night. The next day , we drove to Orchestra Hall on Michigan Ave, and rehearsed there with the sound and lighting engineers. That evening, Paco played flawlessly to the utter shock of the audience...top professional Guitarists from all corners of the United States, Canada and Mexico.....riveted into their seats. They never heard a guitar sound so explosive, so emotional, so flawless technically.... so Espanol...so Gitano! It came time for his last piece..."Entre Dos Aguas" and I walked onto that immortal stage and accompanied him to the never ending screams of the audience... the "Latinos.... y Latinas" …. in dance form... drowning out our performance with perpetual "OLE'S !" That following day, at the airport, Paco asked me to join him on his tour across the Southeastern USA. This is when I was reborn. This is where my career began.....getting to know the intimate Paco, his loves and fears, the secrets of his monstrous technique, phrasing and study habits. Years later, Paco called and informed me of his new affiliation with AL Di Meola and John McLaughlin in their "Friday Night in San Francisco Tour" at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre...a legendary concert hall with perfection in Acoustics. I arrived at that afternoon's rehearsal and noticed Paco's sound was awful...couldn't hear the guitar. Without thinking, I ran back home, retrieved my Sennheiser Mic Paco used at Orchestra Hall, years before, to the utter satisfaction of Paco and the sound engineer...… ( try talking your way out of a speeding ticket with an Illinois State Trooper.) Night came, audience brimming with young eager, guitarists, whether Rockers, Jazz Pros, Country Artists from Nashville or famed Classical guitarists , they were all there waiting to get a glimpse of this......."Paco de Lucia". Lights dimmed to the constant rustling of hungry youth...then...it happened......ALL HELL BROKE LOSE! Well ! ...This "Paco de Lucia" simply exploded with "The Face of An Angel And With The Technique of A Demon" The audience gasped, going wild with hundreds and hundreds of cigarette lighters ablaze in hand, to the sound of "The Holy Three". "Musical History Had Been Made !" The next morning, I drove Paco and John to the airport...said our goodbyes in Hellenic-Hispanic Style...and promised that we would attend each other's funeral who would die first. That was the last time I saw Paco. Sadly, he died first and I angrily realized that my passport had expired, at the last minute. It was too late for me to go. I was incarcerated in my home, shocked and immobile upon hearing of his death.... my life with Paco flashing before my eyes. After all this time, and after these many, many years looking back.... I can only say......"Paco!" "Hermano" "Escuchame !"......"When it is my time to enter the Pearly Gates of Heaven (if I get there, that is) ...I'm bringing that Sennheiser Mic with me......we"ll jam all night”. “The entire Universe will hear you again....LIVE! “ "Esperame, mi Amigo!" “Wait for me, My friend" Memories!

In many places with many beautiful people. And although I don't have as grand of a story, what an adventure, what an experience. This music and learning guitar over the past year has changed my life in ways I couldn't have imagined and the journey to Andalucía was truly magical and one I'll never forget. It will forever inspire me in everything I do. And what a joy to hear your own story. Remarkable, just as the music is. Thankyou for playing a role in bringing this to the world,

    I was in Med. in 1977 when “Elegant Gypsy” hit the streets. It revolutionized how I thought about Latin influenced music.
    I don’t think one year has gone by since then that I haven’t listened to that album at least for this song.
    I’m still left breathless after all these years.
    I had the great fortune to see McLaughlin touring with the Mahavishnu Orchestra back in ‘74…what a night.
    This performance is in constant rotation in my head. I hope that never changes.

    Este show es una demostraciòn de arte sublime, rayano en lo increìble. Es una muestra de tècnica en la ejecuciòn y ductilidad en la digitaciòn de estos tres enormes maestros. Es mùsica de la mas alta calidad, intelectualmente compleja y emocionalmente conmovedora. Es arte en su màxima expresiòn, nada puede superar esto, nada ni nadie, ningùn ser humano en la Tierra volverà a lograr otra vez lo que se oye acà, en este video. Es un alarde de virtuosismo y lo digo con el màximo respeto, ya que ninguno alardeò jamàs de sus inimaginables dotes para tocar una guitarra. Tres hombres que grandiosos con la guitarra siempre han cultivado un perfil bajo, sin histerias, sin renunciar a lo suyo, gustara o no. La humildad de los grandes como siempre se ha dicho, acà es una realidad que devasta los sentidos. Descansa en paz, Paco. Gracias por la mùsica. Gracias desde mi alma

    I love the recorded versions of this so much, but I always come back to the live performance, because it shows just how harmonious they are with each other. They are genuinely having fun with the song, and you can see them even queueing each other or themselves for the next solo. Plus, the smiling always gets me. They knew they were killing it the whole time and having fun doing it.
    Fun tidbit: this song is mostly improvisational, save a few transitions and the chorus, intro, and outro. Check out the recorded version too!

    Gregorio Revilla "El Grego". Yo tuve la gran suerte de conocer en el año 1970 al maestro de maestros Paco de Lucía en el mesón El Salero, local aquél situado muy cerca de la Gran Vía madrileña.
    Este mesón estaba regentado por dos grandes aficionados al flamenco, como fueron Serafín y Fernando "El Chungo". A partir de entonces supe que la guitarra española, en manos de Paco de Lucía se convertiría en un sinfín de emociones placenteras.
    A su memoria le he dedicado estas cuatro letras mal parafraseadas, aunque eso sí, hiriéndome en el alma la desaparición de tan insustituible artista.
    La guitarra española se ha conmovido en sus sueños.
    Soñaba todas las noches, enloquecidamente,
    que las manos de Paco de Lucía la acariciarían eternamente.
    Sus sueños se desvanecieron
    al ver que Paco y ella misma, su guitarra,
    a la vez, e inesperadamente,
    las dos murieron.

    I am so grateful for stumbling into this trio. Before, I only knew Al Di Meola. After hearing this trio, I broadened my view on jazz and gathered an eclectic taste for the various forms of jazz and flamenco. I also combine some Latin-ish jazz with classical forms of music when I write songs. Thank you for posting this video.

Incredible guitar playing. Just magic. Huge fan of that style of music. When I hear them play I just put my guitar down and appreciate the brillance of their craft. Its a gift and a blessing.

      Estas muy equivocado, además mezclas churras con merinas, sin duda Paco de Lucia no era uno de los mejores, ERA EL MEJOR. dale una guitarra española a Hendrix y haber que hubiera hecho. NADA. Solo debes mirar un detalle, en este concierto por ejemplo. mira las manos de cada uno de ellos. Paco de Lucia toca con sus manos, sus dedos, todos sus movimientos son solo obra de sus dedos y uñas. SIN PUA.

      Nicolas Mc Loughlin Man, justamente por colaborar con Al di Meola Paco fue invitado a una gira con Mr. Mclaughlin y Chuck corea, ambos guitarrista y pianista de Jazz respectivamente. De hecho, en su país fue criticado duramente por incorporar Jazz y su estructura en sus composiciones. Y por supuesto tocaba guitarra acústica principalmente; pero también tocaba y componía en piano: y ten por seguro que le daba a la eléctrica, seguramente al estilo de sultan's of swing

    Attended a concert of these three way back in the early 80's, before I new what a truely great guitarist was. A friend of mine that had live in Denver urged me to go because he was a Leo Kottke fan and these guy's played that style. I left that concert in awe of what I had just listened to and had a new definition of what a "Great Guitarist" was.

I was backstage after and hoping to meet him. One of the guys in his group said 'oh, Paco's in his dressing room. He made a mistake tonight so he's playing the whole thing over!" Needless to say, I saw/heard NO mistake. But he did. THAT was the artist he was. Talent, passion, commitment. god I miss that!

    entre es te video y de los últimos que pudo grabar Paco de Lucia en el cual ya no se encuentra John McLaughlin . El tiene unos cuantos detalles en algunos pedazos de su digitacion, en ese video ya se ve algo cansado y tiene algunos fallos pero Al Di Meola lo ayuda y toma las riendas por un momento y Paco de Lucia termina increible recordándonos que aunque los años mermaron un poco su habilidad seguia siendo el mejor, en este video y he visto muchas veces no había notado un pedazo, ya casi al final el que Al Di Meola se despista por un momento y toca algo simple para lo que el señor acostumbra pues olvida su entrada y cae en cuenta pero Paco de Lucia ya ha tomado el control y le da una cátedra en el mejor sentido de la palabra.
