This is so fantastic. During the trade offs to hear Steve vibe off of Allan's phrasing and note choice is incredible. Two true masters at the top of their powers. Recorded 1 year before I discovered guitar myself. Awesome.
You're take on this video is perfection perfectly perfected. Saw Holdsworth Road games tour and Dregs in '80 supporting Dregs of the Earth right before Fusion imploded and this jam is like the sick love child of those two experiences for me. Your observation of Steve vibing off Alan is dead freaking on!
Steve is one of the best ever, but good lord, Allan Holdsworth was an absolute musical anomaly. The beautiful intricacies in each line Allan plays here is superhuman, and this recording does a great job at capturing Allan’s unbelievable phrasing. I think it’s very funny that some people have mistaken Allan’s playing here as Shawn Lane. I imagine it’s likely due to this being one of the incredibly rare instances (at least that I’ve come across) of Allan leaning far more heavily into the “rock” elements of his playing than the “jazz” elements. Though this jam is incredible, I’m very glad that Allan’s solo material was more “out there”, as that’s my favorite work of his entire career.
Thanks! I was indeed at this show, totally ecstatic music! Very sad to learn of Allan passing this week... it was so cool to see Steve bow down to Allan during the trade off solos! Brilliant players so important to fusion guitar history.
I went to see AH in 1983 in Dallas, TX. He was playing a gig in Houston the night before, and it just happened to be the same day that Hurricane Alicia hit Houston (August). He was delayed in the massive evacuation traffic jam. I couldn't wait until about 2 AM when he was due to arrive, so I bailed. But, Steve Morse was already there and came on stage to just do a solo jam. It was great.
This 1983's fantastic jam is including Allan's most terrifying live solos, I've ever heard. Simply incredible, he's letting go at full speed on very intense shredding mode with blazing trade-offs. 🎸 🔥 🎶 😱
@ 6:07 Allan and Steve decide to take off to the outer orbits. Extreme blistering high melodic octane soloing...To the Point of No Return. What a cool jam! Love both of these legends. Great memories and times experiencing many of their gigs back in the early '80s and '90s.
Thanks...Very nice. The first extended solo is Holdsworth and Morse is next. Then they start trading off solo's in the final few minutes. I was fortunate to see Allan Holdsworth (RIP) and Steve Morse perform live several times. Always phenomenal guitarist's and band's.
Thanks for the info! I saw Morse live and was 110% blown away -- what a frets monster!! Sadly, I never got to see Holdsworth live except to hear him warming up via a sound check after Morse finished -- but I had to leave due to an emergency with my pregnant wife. I did get to speak with Holdsworth over the phone a few times though. Was trying to interview him but he was always too busy to chat.
Hah! I saw this tour In NY (Valley Stream, on L.I.). The pop up guest was Hiram Bullock. During this jam he ran barefoot, up and down the aisles! Senior year of HS...
Morse recorded a song called “Tumeni Notes” and Shawn Lane deeply influenced by seeing Allan Holdsworth playing with U.K. - thus you hear similarities in Holdsworth riffage and Lane’s solos.😎👍
@@JazzRockFusionSynthesizerMusic thanks for sharing!! Love hearing two of my favourite guitarists playing together. Lucky to have seen both of them play live several times, and meet them afterwards!!
@@StevenMorello The actually very best guitarist doing the Lane thing is Alex Masi with M.C.M. live and int the studio. Masi is a monster on the frets!
That was phenomenal! Thank you for posting. It brought back memories indeed. I was at the show at My Father's place in long island, A double header! And while Steve and Alan didn't jam together that night, SteveMorse and Steve Howe jammed on Freeway Jam while i sat at the bar with Alan!
@@JazzRockFusionSynthesizerMusic I was there that night to interview Steve and he told me that Steve Howe was going to jam on Freeway Jam. If memory serves I even used a picture of the two of them jamming together in the photo gallery section of Guitar for the Practicing Musician.

Thank you uploading this. Saw both Steve and Allan that year (1983) at the same venue in LA at different times. A local instrumental fusion band, The Fents, were the opening act for both shows. This is rare for another reason that it is Steve's first solo tour and includes Jerry Peek on bass. Does this need a little time correction? Seems a bit fast. Anyway, please tell me you have the entire show and will upload it...
Sadly, when I found this CDr in my “lost” fusion collection - it was labeled Freeway Jam with Holdsworth and Morse but when I checked it out, there was only this one track I uploaded as the rest of the CD was Holdsworth with I.O.U. Live somewhere in the 80s.
@@abramson98 well, I don't know if the toured but they certainly played around so cal which is where I saw them. And The Fents were great live BTW. I was a young guitar player and Ted Hall blew me away

I hate to say it-I do believe this clip is mistakenly attributed. I hear no Allan Holdsworth on this. If anyone, I hear possibly Electrodes era Eric Johnson or perhaps Shawn Lane. By '83, Holdsworth was well established in his ultra fast legato minimal picking style. All soloists here are relying heavily on picking, interspersed sweep and fast cross-picking. The more harmonically "outside" passages here are nice-often lydian extensions and chromatic, but nowhere near the level of harmonic sophistication that had by this point become Holdsworth's calling card. I do love this clip, and am grateful to have found it on 'the tube', but would suggest looking back into the origins--if you have a board mix with Holdsworth on it, this is not the one.
This is not Electromagnets’ Eric Johnson here nor is it Shawn Lane. This is a widely known piece of eclectic fusion history with Holdsworth and Morse jamming. I got this in a trade decades ago with a fusion aficionado. He really knew his stuff and if you read the comments here you will find people that were actually at this show and the intro blab I edited out indicated exactly who the musicians were - even if you can’t recognize Holdsworth. His style here is more of a blending of his Soft Machine, playing, his work with Tony Williams Lifetime and his Velvet Darkness era. I know what you mean about it not sounding like much of his later material but here it is - Holdsworth in the raw, rocking it out. It definitely does not sound like his I.o.u. period legato. If anything could be in error, perhaps the 1983 date is wrong. Well I have blabbed enuff. Someone else needs to chime in here.
Unmistakably Holdsworth from 2:20-4:20, then Steve begins at 4:36 also see hear this video ua-cam.com/video/OonVpY-jnj8/v-deo.html has the same exact recording and Steve in the beginning says we have Allan Holdsworth on stage with us tonight…
You wouldn't use any lydian tonality in a mixolydian vamp. Allan struggled to olay over vamps, he's on record saying he doesn't like regular drum beats, or what he called grooves, and he's always struggled over shuffles in guest appearances, allan never composed a song with a blues shuffle. For anotger example of allan struggling on a one key vamp, google zappa holdsworth. Or listen to any live version of devil take the hindmost. That's clearly allan starting at 2:20
@@ziegunerweiser You know there are many online sites that will allow you to download YT videos in up to 1080p and there are many affordable conversion programs that then allow you to turn mp4 files into very high quality mp3 files.

Holdsworth was a good sport about it, and he liked and respected all of these musicians, but he really did not enjoy jams of this sort. I know this because he told me so, in no uncertain terms.

I can only imagine the kind of smoldering craters that were left behind after these jams.
