First time I literally cried watching an instrumental guitar concert in 1979. I didn't know any of these guys then. Then I got into their music for years and I can say that this fabulous piece is the best Coryell ever played. I listened to it hundreds of times. Before they played it, there were 2 duos : Catherine+Coryell who played a fantastic piece as well ( their recorded version later was crap !) and McLaughlin+De Lucia who also did magic. John needed desperately Paco to make great music and stop only playing fast. Paco was the most talented of them all but Philip, that I met years later was a great kind person. His playing was so subtle ! I can't thank enough the guy who put this video on you tube
@@scottgunvaldsonmusic4116 Thank you for dragging me back to this fantastic video. With YT, so many things to watch and study, we tend to forget our first loves !... I don't want to say who was best and who was second but I saw Paco twice in concert, alone and he blew my mind both times. Then I saw Paco with John and Al Di Meola. John was a catastrophe, missing all his notes and solos...very surprising. I saw again John on stage years later with a bass player and didn't like it at all. I know he was musically the most knowledgeable of them all, he taught Paco a lot of musical theories, but his knowledge went so far that he lost many people on the way I think. His Guardian Angels and Electric Dreams are monuments not to be forgotten though. As well as "What need have I for this..." with Shakti.
Most apropiate, Philip Catherine as a guest with the first flamenco fusion trío of Paco De Lucía, John McLaughlin and Larry Coryell... I guess that it was an exception for them to have a fourth guitarist... only highlights Philip's talent and human nature... very humble man that doesn't think too highly of himself. Neither self deprecating; Just centered on the see saw of humans emotions
El sonido limpio que saca Paco es inigualable .jhon y Larry tienen mucha rapidez y improvisación .pero Paco saca la melodía limpia y pura tuya cuando toca flamenco los otros no pueden hacer nada .
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! historic document!. don´t you have more of this show? IO have seen some images of JOHN and PACO playing some stuff. thanks in advance
Paco and John should have made a least one album with Catherine because his playing is exquisite. Al di Meola wants to play everybody under the table ALL of the time, which, in my opinion get a little tedious after four compositions.
100% agree. Al playing scales fast in 3rds and 4ths gets old real fast. Trying to out play Paco and John which he never did took away from the musicality.
I came here tonight hoping others who actually know how to play might offer some constructive criticism of each players individual style but low and behold it is the usual UA-cam gossip heads as commenteurs attacking other commenteurs. Will this kind of childish wet diaper boy stuff ever cease in the Yo-Gootutbe world of male testosterone guitar gossip? All of these professional gentlemen are of great world standards in their own write. Lets find something honorable to say about them please.
Paco was mind blowing too man, listen to the nuances of his playing. When you watch the classic trio McLaughlin Paco and Al Di Meola, if you really hear it, you see that John and Paco were ahead of Meola. At least in my perception. And you can watch that there was a more special communication with John and Paco, stronger than with Al Di Meola. But of course Al is incredible as well, it's just that in my view these two guys went beyond. In a way, John is the most impressive, because he could share the stage fairly with the biggest Flamenco star of the time, as well as with the biggest indian musicians and of course the biggest jazz legends. John is simply one of the best guitar players ever.
La próxima vez que maldigas el nombre que eligieron tus padres, recordá que en el Mundo hay un chabón llamado Katherine al que en la escuela llamaban Katy!
uh Larry played quite alot wiht Bonfa and played on one of his albums. What wrong with you? Everywhere you go your comments are are always filled with invective. Perhaps you should seek counseling. Very nice playing here and blending of styles. All of these guys forgot more about music last week than rude critics like yourself will learn in a lifetime.
No need to agree with me. As far as your abilities go..... you could be incredible. However, your need to share continual negative criticism will more than likely hinder your musical developement.
don't like this choice they made on that tune,they forgot the song and they got into favorite-lick exhibition kind of procedure here.but okey still they're the masters.My opinion is that a guitar quartet has a lot lot more to offer recently i heard this and was overwhelmed (rhapsody in blue -vida) no hate here just personal views .
Magda Kontonasiou I think sometimes for these "all star" guitar concerts there isn't enough attention or time for "arrangements" and it becomes a trade of solos. But it is all good.
Amazing get together of the greatest guitarists! Each one of them shows their own masterful style and take on the piece.
John Mclaughlin: Supreme Master! 🙏🏻🌟🎸
Monsters! Love Phil Catherine's take on this.
Não ouvia Catherine desde a minha juventude.Grande.

I agree hundred time and plus I was at this concert ;) Cheers JeanLuno Gilles
john is by far the most advanced player in ALL musical aspects .
"A and E" channel 1980.I was tripping on mushrooms and have since learned every song on this tape,changed my life forever!
John McLaughlin is the most talented of the bunch. Read what Larry Coryell says about him.

They're all great guitarist!
RIP!
Beautiful performance!
Classic!
John was magnificent!
I agree hundred time and plus I was at this concert ;) Cheers JeanLuno Gilles
Where was it please ?
AMAZING....MCLAUGHLIN.... PACO.....WOW!
Never saw this before...love Larry's "Adidas" shirt.
Catherine perfect
@Alex pobre imbécil ignorante es el apellido
pac and phil?! just the other day i was hoping i'd find such a thing. the way the world works o_o so amazing!
great!
Phillip Catherine!
Al Di Meola no estaba contemplado en ese proyecto, de hecho sustituyo a Larry. Corryell....
Yes, Al was recomended by Paco to replace Larry who left the trio to pursue his career as a full on jazzer.
Most apropiate, Philip Catherine as a guest with the first flamenco fusion trío of Paco De Lucía, John McLaughlin and Larry Coryell...

👍👏

John.Paco » Larry » Phirip
Vive le plus grand de tous
le Génial PACO DE LUCIA 🎼.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! historic document!. don´t you have more of this show? IO have seen some images of JOHN and PACO playing some stuff. thanks in advance
There is a video of this called ,"Meeting of the Spirits" I will mail it to you ,VHS only?
omg john did some coltrane level shit here. WOW
Just look at all them Ovations!
Looks like they are all playing the same guitar! Which is ????
Paco and John should have made a least one album with Catherine because his playing is exquisite.
Al di Meola wants to play everybody under the table ALL of the time, which, in my opinion get a little tedious after four compositions.
Al di Meola is not present here?
Larry Coryell is the other guitarist.
100% agree. Al playing scales fast in 3rds and 4ths gets old real fast. Trying to out play Paco and John which he never did took away from the musicality.
Oopppss Foutje Larry Coryell niet Al Di Meola🤔
Het staat er toch duidelijk: JohnMcLaughlin /LARRY CORYELL/DeLucia/Catherine 1979 perfornance!
CELESTE!
whats the name of this composition??
Ray S this is Morning of the Carnival (manga de carnival) by louiz bonfa it’s from the film Black Orpheus
The solo of Philip is the best
@3Ellipse no you are quite wrong. All 4 are giants in their own way and have influenced the generations that have followed behind them.

yes,hate mongerers.Sad
Funny to think now that Oviations were considered the go to guitars of their day. Personally I could never see the attraction mysekf.
DIOS SE LO LLEVO A PACO POR QUE NO QUERIA COMPETENCIA SOBRE LA TIERRA
Y también a Larry se lo llevó hace poco.
love this 4 guys but on this stuff there is a huge difference between john and the 3 others!
Paco was mind blowing too man, listen to the nuances of his playing.

Paco boring that
Black Orpheus?
Hubris suits you. Now you are on par with Debussy. Your ego appears to be on an escalator. Good luck.

Four guitars is a bit too much.
uh Larry played quite alot wiht Bonfa and played on one of his albums. What wrong with you? Everywhere you go your comments are are always filled with invective. Perhaps you should seek counseling.
