And the winner is us.......the listener!!!!! Three virtuosos of the highest order. A staggering performance by all three........just the riff is too hard, for all but the advanced guitarist. Paco's tremolo picking was up there with the best I've heard.......Al's palm muting technique & blistering speed was a delight.......John McLaughlin's solo was a masterpiece. His note choices were impeccable & his technique stupendous.
Holy SHIT, Al was straight FIRE. That dynamic control, those palm-muted runs, how he plays with spread rythms and synchopations, its just too good to be true. The rest of them are out of the world of course. But, idk, Al Di Meola really did suprised me
Reda Henaoui in his style and world he pushed further than anybody has....personaly i see him as a far best ever...a true composer...(not songwriter. A composer like the tru classics.)

das war schon vor über 25 Jahren für mich die beste Entspannung, auf die Couch, Augen zu und die Musik von diesen Dreien aufdrehen. Diese Tonleitern beruhigen mich total. Besser als Joga.
All are great, but for me, Al is the one who nailed it on this tune. His muted- percussive approach works v well on "Spain" and really drives the tune along.
Paco ... gracias ... donde sea que estés ... en el cielo seguro .. tocándole feliz a dios tu guitarra seguro ... tu vida es un honor para el arte, El sonido, los conciertos y las grabaciones de Paco rinden homenaje a su padre, un hombre excepcionalmente visionario y verdaderamente revolucionario, que con tanto amor hizo de Paco un artista único y genial, similar a otros padres como Mozart, Beethoven ... La magia y el duende de paco provino de estudios autodidactas intensivos... su padre obligándole a ejecutar escalas y escalas... y tocar para comer... todo es gestar y luego parir dice Rilke,,, esos años de estudio durísimo le hicieron quien es... y su padre fue crucial... fue su voluntad... vivan los padres de los genios...la mitad del mérito es de ellos. Tiene la mezcla más difícil de todas, virtud y virtuosismo, es un poeta del instrumento. Paco no es solo un artista del más alto calibre, disciplina y musicalidad, sino el arquetipo del artista moderno, el maestro aislado y valiente, que encuentra su propio camino hacia nuevas alturas de expresión, sin importar los prejuicios o las barreras de incomprensión levantadas en su contra. Se encuentra solo al comienzo de una nueva época como un profeta, trazando los caminos que tomara el arte. El sonido catártico y místico de Paco, se ocupa por los últimos misterios que trascienden en este mundo. Su arte grandioso, colosal y majestuoso, simboliza la lucha del alma humana por encontrar la liberación de las ataduras de su cuerpo material. Su música exquisita y abrumadora continúa resonando durante toda el recital y más allá, por lo que la acción es a la vez momentánea, eterna y completa. Las interpretaciones de Paco son indescriptiblemente bellas e irresistibles. Su sonido es pura poesía y extremadamente emocional, pero sin sentimentalismos. Nos hipnotiza su nueva y radical naturalidad, su nobleza, dignidad, severidad y sobriedad; transportándonos a estados de asombro, éxtasis, meditación, amor y compasión. - Sonido y Silencio, Vida y Muerte, Tiempo y Espacio; colapsan en el momento Eterno del Infinitud. - Está al nivel de los mejores músicos interpretes de la historia como Maria Callas, Vladimir Horowitz, Ivo Pogorelich ... Paco podría haber haber coincidido con estos consejos del gran pianista Ivo Pogorelich... "Lucha y encuentra la sustancia, luego ve a las esferas superiores. La música te lleva a otro universo de eternidad que permanece contigo una vez finalizado el concierto. Lucha por conseguir calidad, profundiza ... encuentra el origen del sonido. La técnica no es solo ir rápida y lento ... es el sonido, el sonido largo, la paleta de colores, es entrar en un espacio de mundos diferentes, alcanzando la diversidad de los sonidos. Rachmaninov tenía artritis al final de su vida, estaba tan débil que su sonido era muy corto, por eso tocaba rápido, para llenar el vacío. Si tienes un sonido largo estás al mando y puedes lograr la claridad y el sonido hipnótico entre las notas. El problema siempre fue el conflicto y la diferencia entre la calidad absoluta y la relativa. La belleza en la música es como en los diamantes, el diamante más puro del mundo es el Koh-i-Noor, es la belleza absoluta con la que se comparan otros con relativa belleza. La mayoría de la música que pude escuchar fue solo un acto circense, ostentoso... de piezas virtuosas para pianistas jóvenes e inmaduros, fueron solo pruebas de destreza mecánica manual, no arte. Hay que adentrarse en el estado de ánimo psicológico en el que los compositores escribieron sus obras para descubrir sus secretos. Trabaja tan duro como un esclavo de galeras. No practico ejercicios. Cuando practico una pieza, hago algunas variaciones de ella, inventando mis propios ejercicios para ayudar en ese lugar particular preciso que necesito mejorar. La técnica es el arte de la variedad, el arte de saber cómo ajustar la mano a un grupo particular de notas para producir un sonido particular que se ajuste a las expectativas particulares del oído. El sonido se vuelve metafísico solo cuando se ha explorado completamente todas las posibilidades físicas. Deberías explorar hasta llegar al absurdo. Siempre se debe intentar en la medida de lo posible redescubrir la música como si la estuvieras escuchando por primera vez, buscando por todas partes nuevos significados y nuevas profundidades. La función más alta del artista es liberar la espiritualidad y la inmediatez emocional que se encuentran dentro de la partitura. Estar constantemente involucrado en la investigación, no solo miro las cosas como aparecen, sino que también trato de encontrar los laberintos, los secretos de la música. Una composición solo se puede interpretar bien si es completamente tuya, no solo cada nota de la memoria, sino que las notas se han convertido en ti y tu te has convertido en las notas. Nada pasa por casualidad. Llámalo una fuerza que algunas personas piensan que controla lo que sucede en el futuro, y está fuera del control humano, llámalo preordenación, pero a veces sucede. Después de todo, el elemento humano trae la felicidad total ". Ivo Pogorelich.
noone is better than anyone ! Three amazing musicians ! each has his own style and all of them gave a lot to the guitar playing. We can only admire what they are doing without trying to compare because if your a musicians you'll understand that is completely useless.
You are very wrong my friend. I do not know your knowledge of guitar and about Spanish guitar. Paco de Lucia is the best of those three but long…. the other two are not at his level, they do not even live in the world of Paco de Lucia. First there is Paco, then there is nothing, then nothing and then nothing. After that space reserved only for him, there are the best Spanish guitarists, remember that the Spanish guitar is the most technically difficult in length, it is played with two hands. The rest of the world's guitarists, whether acoustic or those rock "gods" who sell as the best guitarists in the world, are hand-armed, they only use one hand to play. And another thing is that the sound of the Spanish guitar is the most beautiful, unique and unmistakable. greetings from Andalusia
@@swiftusmaximus5651 Allen Holdsworth is great, but nowhere near a technical monster like Paco De Lucia. Holdsworth would get annihilated by McLaughlin and Di Meola using legato technique on acoustic material like this. Obviously a non-musician response.
Paco was and will alway's be a world treasure. Back in '81, I was a huge Al Di Meola fan, when I first heard Paco, all over Friday Night in San Francisco. Maybe the best live acoustic guitar album ever recorded. Thank you Paco de Lucia. RIP!!!
One of the best performances by this trio.. 3 of the absolute masters of the guitar. We are fortunate they did 3 albums and a whole lot of tours together. all 3 shone on this one.. originally composed by corea, with al on guitar. terrific technique from paco.. John absolutely nails his solo.. incredible range.. especially loved the conclusion with 3 very different takes on the melody line..
Tuve la suerte de ver este concierto en directo. El caso es que no tenía entrada y el teatro estaba a reventar, así que no vendían entradas...pero tras mucho llorarle al portero me dejó entrar por una puerta trasera y me acomodé como pude en las escaleras del gallinero :) El concierto fue sencillamente memorable.
Thank you Paco, for sharing your time, your feelings and your talent through amazing interpretations. May your body Rest in Peace, friend... because you just have become immortal.
I saw this trio live at the Great American Music Hall in SF around this time, although I remember it as the late 1970s. Glad to be an eye / ear witness of such great talent !
Yes,It was on Nit Flight Arts and Entertainment on a Fri. and I taped it and my friend and I began learning songs and I was very high on mushrooms and this music was like manna from heaven,never looked back!VHS copies free to homies.
So wonderful... It's really cool to see really clear how their influences are expressed in their solos. Paco with that arab born spanish sound, Al with his latin percussion influenced runs and John clearly with a more jazzy approach, and something different I can't describe, probably influence of Indian music.
one of the joys of life. talent of the highest caliber. geniuses and virtuoso's. rest in peace paco. thanks for the gift. al and john, keep on keeping on.
McLaughlin plays so out there is because he has the Miles Davis background, his influences over the years is far more diverse (especially since he listens Bartok), and he has learned so many different styles from all the top people, he knows how to free his brain and play what comes to him. Sometimes, he has no thought when it happens. It's hard to get to that point, but it stems from his ability to meditate daily, understand so much that for him, that's his normal. To others, it's out there.
Al does some sweet playing, very melodic, while Paco and John are more percussive and open a structure. The joy of being dry on melody is part of the instrument's soul. A jam is listening as much as playing. The productiveness of the audience is highlighted by who sits on the stage and who doesn't. Be thankful that you are listening to it!
3 unique and spectacularly interesting approaches to the acoustic guitar. I missed the San Francisco concert but did see them at the Greek Theater in Berkeley a couple years later. What mastery.
Actually, after looking up the concert tour dates for Mahavishnu Orchestra, which are avialable on-line at various web sites. The only concerts that were in Sidney, Austrailia were in November 1974, with the Apocolypse Tour and DEFINITELY was Narada on drums, and Jean Luc Ponty on Violin. There were no concert dates listed on their gig listing for 1975 for Mahavishnu. Billy hadn't played with John since 1973 until he did a studio recording with John for the Electric Guitarist album. TBCont
Sólo resaltan a Paco, que fue extraordinario? Ni duda cabe!! Pero él está en su elemento. John y Di Meola Extaordinarios porque sin ser su fuerte la rumba Lo hicieron increible. Yo hago una mención especial hacia Al Di Meola porque es un guitarrista que toca varios generos y domina a la perfección la guitarra acústica española y la guitarra eléctrica. Para mí? un Genio fuera de serie. Escuchenlo tocar guitarra eléctrica!!! Saludos
Hola, he escuchado Paco & Al pocos meses antes de esta concierto (Nov. 1980) in Linz, Austria...Mclaughlin no ha tocado en esta noche por tener fiebre...Al Di Meola substduido Mclaughlin sin problemas y Ella y Paco han tocado este concierto increible...saludos de Austria.
Yes I am positive. As I said it was a long long time ago. It was around the release of MO's "Birds of Fire" album. It could be around 40 years ago. I was knocked by BC's drumming technique & loved JLP's electric violin.
Thanks for your post........I think that JML's solo is the most satisfying of the 3. I don't understand how he plays so OUT THERE. Where Al is a safety first player who knows his scales & doesn't deviate from safe patterns, JML has an intuitive knack of hearing the note outside the scale. I saw him with the Mahavishnu Orchestra in Sydney many years ago. He had Billy Cobham on drums & Jean Luc Ponty on violin. He was on fire that night & was wielding a double-necked guitar.......Amazing.
I say Al. He's definitely cleaner, has better vibrato and the rhythmic cadences in his phrasing are a bit tighter. He's just a more precise player in general.
Paco is my favorite guitarist of all time .. Al Di Meola is great too ...but that part at 10:20 by Mclaughlin is out of this world ...it's too simple yet complex in a strange way !!
What an alpha paco was in this performance it's crazy how some styles just rise above the rest like dimebag Darrel and Stevie ray vauhn it's the feeling and the ATTACK that's intriguing that's why there the best the stuff they play isn't learned it's that magical power in there sound that no one knows we're it came from
i saw these guys at san diego state university in the 80's steve morse opened up the show with a solo acoustic set, he was so amazing that asked him to sit in for their encore. but when all was said and done paco took them all to school.
And the winner is us.......the listener!!!!! Three virtuosos of the highest order. A staggering performance by all three........just the riff is too hard, for all but the advanced guitarist. Paco's tremolo picking was up there with the best I've heard.......Al's palm muting technique & blistering speed was a delight.......John McLaughlin's solo was a masterpiece. His note choices were impeccable & his technique stupendous.
Good description, seriusly
Al Di Meola + John McLaughlin + Paco De Lucia = guitar royalty
RIP Paco
ABSOLUTELY JAW DROPPING..
I AM A MASSIVE, MASSIVE MASSIVE OF ALL THREE OF THESE GENTLEMEN...
Being in their presence when they played together was like being in guitar heaven!!
Holy SHIT, Al was straight FIRE. That dynamic control, those palm-muted runs, how he plays with spread rythms and synchopations, its just too good to be true. The rest of them are out of the world of course. But, idk, Al Di Meola really did suprised me
C'est merveilleux de voir jouer les trois grands maîtres de la guitare ensemble sur un tel morceau de Chic Corea merci milles fois
R.I.P Paco , one of the greatest guitarist of the world !
Reda Henaoui in his style and world he pushed further than anybody has....personaly i see him as a far best ever...a true composer...(not songwriter. A composer like the tru classics.)

Sin duda ! Tres genios de la guitarra. John Mc. Laughlin, Al di Meola y Paco de Lucìa Q.E.P.D.
Es un verdadero placer oìrlos !
All are great, but for me, Al is the one who nailed it on this tune. His muted- percussive approach works v well on "Spain" and really drives the tune along.
I remember this tour. When I told my guitar teacher I was going, he said, "Sounds like it's going to be the drag race of guitars."

Sorry to hear of Paco's passing. He was a talent.
I saw these guys at the Rainbow in Denver with Steve Morse opening. All 4 jammed for the encore. Absolutely phenomenal.
I saw the same four at Convocation Hall at University of Toronto.
Ditto; Wiltern Theater in L.A.

hard to believe that this song was originally written by Chick Corea for piano, not for guitar!
Paco was one of the greatest guitar players who ever walked on earth. Great trio, they dont make them like this anymore.
que suerte para el mundo. que estos 3 hombres se juntaron. increíble........
What a superb trio this was , Ovation was king of the hill back then , they were as popular as Taylor is today things change .
True. I bought an Ovation Balladeer 6 string after seeing McLaughlin play one.

What a lovely interpretation of one of the most beautiful songs ever written..thank you!
This is insane. Also very cool to see Al play it too since he's probably played the tune with Chick hundreds of times.
Beautiful guitar music!
I saw this trio live at the Great American Music Hall in SF around this time, although I remember it as the late 1970s. Glad to be an eye / ear witness of such great talent !

I'm at work right now.. But I had to stand up for this performance. This is what "being in the flow" looks like. I wish to play like this, one day.
So wonderful... It's really cool to see really clear how their influences are expressed in their solos. Paco with that arab born spanish sound, Al with his latin percussion influenced runs and John clearly with a more jazzy approach, and something different I can't describe, probably influence of Indian music.
That's why I said arab born, because flamenco is influenced by arab music
Flamenco is gipsy influenced.
かっこいい～～～
としか言えない
安らかに、Paco.
Masters of their craft....R.I.P. to one of the greats
Best ever, and this particularly show ❤
What a privilege to see and hear these Masters!! Thank you so much for uploading:))

Paco is my favorite guitarist of all time .. Al Di Meola is great too ...but that part at 10:20 by Mclaughlin is out of this world ...it's too simple yet complex in a strange way !!
What an alpha paco was in this performance it's crazy how some styles just rise above the rest like dimebag Darrel and Stevie ray vauhn it's the feeling and the ATTACK that's intriguing that's why there the best the stuff they play isn't learned it's that magical power in there sound that no one knows we're it came from
No hay palabras!
GRAZIE MULTUMESC THANKS......

i saw these guys at san diego state university in the 80's steve morse opened up the show with a solo acoustic set, he was so amazing that asked him to sit in for their encore. but when all was said and done paco took them all to school.
When you can play that good, you earn the right to wear your hair any way you damn well choose
