I think that al di meola has the best jazz sound, the chorus gives he something different, because all guitar players (also me) treat to sound like joe pass or wes montgomery.
when I used to listen to Al a lot this was one my favourites. like a much more melodic version of a tune like casino. remember seeing him play it in the jazz café in London in 2007 and he used to play it a lot. the tune doesn't catch my attention these days, though. if Al ever borrowed an idea from Metheny, it wasn't here, it was on orange and blue, with the wordless vocals etc. this comes from the brief period in his career when Al played a jazz-bodied electric guitar rather than a solid body. good sound. I'd probably prefer if he played more on a jazz guitar rather than solid body. but I'm not listening to Al much these days. Kiss my Axe for the Walkman tomorrow perhaps. Gotta refresh my memory.
The rhythmic attack on a tune like this is very much an example of the influence of Chick Corea on the evolution of Al's style up to about this point. Rhythmically, there's nothing Metheny like here. Or melodically to these ears. This is like a more involved version of one of Al's early tunes like Casino. That's kind of what Al was doing on this album. Looking back to Casino/Splendido Hotel, but writing tunes with more jazz harmony this time.
Gibson vs PRS, both different sounds which both create a different feel for each variation of the piece, the Gibson in this video has a lovely gentle tone.
I suspect the "consequence (sic) of chaos" album and associated dvd would probably have sounded better if he was playing a jazz guitar rather than solid-body electric. I saw him on that tour. Enjoyed it. But solid-body electric almost automatically makes music sound more rock like. The sound probably affects soloing style too. Less fluid. More "staccato" (I think). Al only played a jazz guitar model from c.1988-c.1998.
A rip off? Al has been using these type of rhythms from the start of his career. To say it's a rip off imply's a negative connotation. Besides what about the rest of the composition? It's not even remotely close.
I agree. This tune is one of my all time faves. Incredible!
This is beautiful music....F%$# YEAH!

they are rockin!
Yes the piece Phantom is in this concert. For the video, i don't know but i will check on my DVD
@Bach54321 The drums are very close but other than that I would not so much. Though I would say this is reminiscent in some sections to Metheny.
Wow, if you could load it it would great. That was my favorite from that album.
thank you for uploading this!

the last 1½ minute is so god damn heavy
Good god the end is crazy!
There's a lot of Pat Metheny in this piece. Which is a compliment to Metheny. I'm sure both guitarists respect each other greatly.

@@owenmcgee8496 I agree with what you say. Melodically Di Meola is quite different from the Metheny/Mays team.
The part at 4:12 has indeed similarities with Pat Metheny, a bit like Are You Going With Me.
Last Train Home? :-)
i prefer a thousand times this song played with this fantastic and dirtyless guitar instead al is using now for speak a volcano...

Anyone know if they do "Phantom" in this concert? If so, how about a video of it for youtube?
