I met Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia, and John McLaughlin by accident. One evening in Dallas--must've been back in the 80s--a friend of mine, classical guitarist Chris Carrington was playing at a small restaurant (Jennyvine's) and there they were at a back table listening. No one else recognized them but Chris and me. We sat and talked to them for a good while--thought Paco didn't speak much English. It remains one of the amazing moments of my life.
I know all 4 of them. I lived in Dallas for about 8 years. Know Chris too. Visited his shop and checked out a few guitars and heard him play too. He played with Al Di Meola in many concerts.
Maravillosa experiencia. Yo he ido a sus conciertos cuando vino a Lima. Lo he seguido desde que lo escuché en 1976, nunca había visto tocar la guitarra de ese modo. Velocidad y precisión. He conversado con su hermano Pepe a la puerta del Teatro Municipal de Lima en el intermedio del show. Ellos salieron a refrescarse , era una noche de mucho calor. A Paco sólo lo salude al pasar cuando llegaba al teatro.
This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest musical performances I've ever watched. Just two masters of their craft having a conversation through music.
Un être avec untel talent, ne peut pas réellement mourir, car une part non négligeable et magnifique demeurera de lui...le souvenir si "présent" que l'on en aura toujours. Sa musique n'est pas son linseul, elle est en fait son avenir.
Tuve la dicha de ver al maestro Paco de Lucia en Acapulco, en un restaurante, no sabía que el tenía una casa cerca de allí, cuando le ví le suplique por qué me dejara invitarle el desayuno, el rechazo mi oferta, y con toda humildad me dijo que sería el quien invitaría a mi y a mi familia, sin duda es una persona extraordinaria, su música es de otro mundo. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Soy melómano confeso, he escuchado cientos de guitarristas y puedo asegurar que cientos de años tendrán que pasar hasta que vuelva a nacer otro Paco De Lucía. Descansa en paz Maestro de la guitarra española. Lástima los 827 sordos y pusilánimes que han dado pulgar para abajo, no tienen ni puta idea.
@@francisgarry5066 Y tu sabes mas que paco de lucía? hombre no jodas que no ha existido sobre la faz de la tierra alguien mas sublime tocando un instrumento que este señor y vienes tú a querertelas dar de sabiondo
for sure, alchemy is not magic, it's all about observation and negociation ... and lots of talents. I will never reach this level, but very inspiring to me.
Esas miradas, esa compenetración perfecta... No hablan pero se comunican y expresan los sentimientos a través de sus guitarras. Bravo a ambos. Descansa en paz querido Paco, maestro de maestros.
I went to an Al Di Meola guitar workshop soon after the San Francisco recording came out. He was showing us how he was playing the fast runs/riffs. Al laughed when he shared that he had to keep up with Paco because Paco essentially had 5 picks on his right hand and Al only had one. Also impressed by how Paco gets to the end of the fretboard without a cutaway. Both are just exceptional players.
Игра медиатором априори быстрее ,чем игра пальцами ..а Эл так и не смог догнать невероятного Пако! У которого каждый звук чёткий,словно хрусталь! Пако гений! Эл Ди меола прекрасный гитарист!! Шикарный дуэт в котором Эл Ди меола понимал,что он на подыгрышах великого Пако! Такая удача для него...
There were so many brilliant aspects to Pacos playing so many. One of them is they way he rips through the scales with a robust sound and intensity I've never heard elsewhere. What an incredible Man. We all miss him dearly.
These guys all knew it too. J. Mac and Al Didi both said in interviews that, basically "Paco WON this battle every time." Yes they're all cosmic, it's all about the music etc., yes they get along fine - but I'm a-still gonna smoke yer tits if I can.
I ran into Al di Meola a couple years ago at an airport in New York City. He was just standing in the security line like everyone else. Nobody seemed to recognize him at all. But I knew who he was so I gave him a little nod and a smile. He grinned. Once inside the terminal I again saw him again browsing magazines by himself. It was definitely strange to see a musician of his stature just hanging around unbothered at all, totally anonymous, no celebrity fuss whatsoever. But on stage, he's like a legend. As a casual guitarist I am a bit familiar with his music, and definitely his work with the trio, more so back in the 90s. But I definitely know his status. I couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say to him, so I didn't bother. It was a brief encounter, but still kind of cool.
I would have had to shake his hand and give thanks. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity. But I would have been restrained and not raise a fuss. Amazing story....
The way the look at each other in both telepathic and mutual love and admiration is breathtaking. The recent interview Rick Beato did with Al brought out, once again, the admiration and love Al had for Paco as a musician. So fortunate to be able to capture this magic.
I have the utmost respect for the guitar skills of Al Di Meola. Paco is my favorite and I think he will always be! I don't care what other players can do. Paco de Lucia touches my heart when I hear that apparently humble man "Master" the guitar!
Does anyone else realize how they communicate with their eyes all the time? Its like they were so used to play with each other and also play so well that they kind of just improvise.
They have played a lot together over more than a decade. Paco came to the us and made music here, met with Aldi and many others. They played, and toured together. What you see as improv is actually something called " play". It's a phenomenon with professional musicians where one goes after another in a kind of " random" guitar streak but they still need to be in tune with the music. So they can't wonder off from flamenco to jazz you see. This requires immense knowledge on sounds, chords, speed, timing and knowledge on the guitar. It's nothing short of amazing.
I saw the trio of DiMeola, McLaughlin, and DeLucia with special guest Steve Morse at the Tower Theater back in the early 80's. They played Fantasia Suite to close, and Morse gave up about halfway through and just sat back and enjoyed the show along with the rest of us. I'll never forget it.
In 1980 I discovered them..but I was too immature to look past all the fast riffs and see the essence of their connection and rhythm etc. To see this video of that all these years later brings great joy! Absolute legends.
Me quito el sombrero, no por Paco, que es Dios..... si no por Di Meola, atreverse a tocar junto a un Monstruo como De Lucía y además hacerlo de forma increible. Bravo! Yo hubiese salido corriendo antes de empezar... . xDDD
Y en su biografía Paco Contó que era él quien se sentía algo nervioso de tocar junto a Meola, pues Meola era un monstruo con formación teórica en jazz, algo que Paco no. El hecho es que ambos se tuvieron mucho respeto.
RIP Paco. Just learned he passed in late February 2014. He did look like he aged a lot which concerned me then found out. He was 66. He'll always be remembered for decades to come. Hope he is with the Holy Angels and not the other ones. Lord have Mercy. Amen. +
If it were necessary to say who is the god of the Spanish and classical guitar without a doubt it is PACO DE LUCIA, rest in peace, teacher and example to follow, in heaven they are enjoying good music and free.
After his show in a small club in tulsa , Mr. di Meola & myself talked for a while. He is a very nice man and had no problem sitting down with a fan and just talking. I will always look at Mr. Di Meola as one of just a very few of the worlds best at his craft ( Mr. De Lucia also ). He gave me a moment without me asking and I will forever hold that ARTIST as giant among men. May the Gods always protect him & his loved ones. Thank you, Mr. De Meola
Viendo algunos videos de Don Paco de Lucía , me percato de como el trataba de contagiar el compás a sus acompañantes ya sea a una segunda guitarra, cajon, etc era como un trance musical en el que todos se sumaban a la misma melodía, simplemente insuperable.
Paco de Lucia .... If someone asked me about the art of flamenco, I would definitely tell him that the Paco de Lucia guitar and its music are what you are looking for🌍
There's definitely more variance there. Di Meola's playing is either loud or even louder. Paco's able to get really soft when he wants. Wouldn't want to go head to head with either one of them though. Ever.
True but Al’s playing outside his wheelhouse and for anyone to go toe to toe with the incomparable Paco pick or no pick is no small task. Especially considering that Al’s forte and strength is the Les Paul.
How I love the magic of the original. But how I love the relaxed maturity of this. 1985 concert in Hammersmith UK was Godly...xxxxxxxxx R.I.P. Paco. You made life so wondrous for me as me as a guitar tryer !!! XXX
Dos maestros, dos gigantes, dos virtuosos. Paco verdaderamente disfrutaba tocar con Al, y para Al, que privilegio tenerlo de amigo y tocar a su lado...
Pasarán muchos años, pero paco de lucia seguirá siendo para siempre un genio de la guitarra. No puedo evitar admirar el sonido que hace con las cuerdas...
Me queda claro que casi nadie estaba poniendo atención a sus propios oídos antes de comentar. De mi parte, doy gracias por este fantástico documento del arte de la guitarra.
Cada vez que escucho la guitarra de Paco de Lucía en esta canción y sus picados,....se me ponen los pelos de punta....nunca me cansaré de escucharlos.....
Es alucinante la pasión y la mezcla. Adoro a l9s dis pero debo decir que Paco era vital para mí, lo pienso y escucho mucho. Endito maestro, magia en tus manos, generoso en tu discurso, honesto y maravilloso. En fin PACO DE LUCIA DE MI CORAZON, MAESTRO!!!!!!!
Paco de Lucia's legacy and his handing over the torch of Spanish classic guitar feel and soul to modern world madness of high pick precision and determination. RIP
I don't see him handing over anything - He has his lofty picado standard with his independent thumb (for bass answers), that a pick player can't quite match, though DiMeola is close when playing on adjacent strings.
These guys stared into each other's eyes as much as they did at their fretboard throughout the whole 9 minute piece and they still played it with precision beyond that of almost any other classical/flamenco guitarist to date. I wish Paco could still be here to share his greatness with the world.
The really cool ting is, at this level, it's not about perfection but being able to witness the intertwining of gifting and spirits and having your brainwaves move in sympathy with sound.
Sin desmeritar a ningún guitarrista para mi concepto Paco de Lucía es el mejor guitarrista que he visto en mi vida si estilo flamenco de una pisada perfecta es de difícil ejecución y no creo que exista otro igual y aclarando soy rockero admiro a Malsteen a Steve Vai a Satriani pero Señores este es el maestro en el sentido más explicito del arte de hacer musica
@@rod88855bienvenida sea entonces la genial grandeza de Di Meola, gracias a la cual, según usted, De Lucía seguiría siendo un mindundis. Qué santos huevos tienes soltando semejante sandez.
@@opuskillsandez es la tuya. Se cura fácil. Puedes dejar de ser un ignorante buscando un poco. Encontrarás al propio Paco contándolo y también a Al di Meola, que de forma humilde lo hace a la vez que le alaba. Son hechos. Yo no invento nada. Acabas de aprender algo... quizá.
tengo 20 años, vi una presentacion de tomatillo en gto cuando tenia 15 años y una tia me ilustro acerca de Paco de Lucia y yo les juro que se me pone la piel chinita, observo a estos maestros y se me salen las lagrimas de lo bello que es este video.
This is by far the best live performance of any kind that I've seen during my entire life. The arrangement, the harmony, the perfection of execution... Supernatural, extraterrestrial....
Un saludo desde Chile a todos esos Pacos de la música ,grande Paco donde Kiera k estés,siempre te admire desde niño y por ti aprendí la música y no solo tocarla sino sentirla.
Paco is proof of what a guitar player can become. The effortless skill is like that of Buddy Rich when he played drums. Only he could do what he could do and he knew it.
Anything good that one says about this performance is bound to be a huge understatement. Words cannot express the greatness. One can only listen in awesome silence.
Es increíble la maestría y el virtuosismo de estos 2 guitarristas!!!! Puedo escucharlos por horas y horas sin cansarme!!! Un verdadero deleite para los oídos!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hey Reeshi Gupta, are you an Indian with love for Paco and flamenco? I am a Gupta, too, and love that music; i got to know the Maestro a bit as an organizer...
*Happy Birthday Al. I wish sir Paco de Lucia were also here. You two jamming together is one of the greatest things ever happened after the Big Bang! Stay healthy* ❤️
When I was 11 or 12 my grandfather gave me some dusty old flamenco lessons that were printed ages ago and on yellowed paper and were wrinkled but still in tact. I also got cassettes and old VHS with a lesson or two. I didn’t have a guitar for another year or so, but the anticipation to play because of this and because of listening to his old cassette tapes that I had an immense passion for learning the instrument and for Flamenco and Classical guitar. It’s too bad I got into Nirvana and Punk rock a year later and it completely destroyed that sense of virtuosity that I was so fond of early on. I turned onto another Punk and talked trash about virtuosic guitar playing. Now much older I go back to these videos and wish to relive that moment early on that got me started in the first place, and I try to learn like I was supposed to. Thank you Paco.
Paco de Lucia's right hand technique is incredible. A wonderful duet. Two of the same type of guys, having fun and challenging each other. Thanks for uploading.
Beautiful. Always one phrase ahead. Don't know how else to describe it. Such beautiful music that catches out your ears. Always ahead of the game. Beautiful and genius. I keep coming back to this video as it captivates me so much. Put simply. This makes me happy. This makes me smile. Music is love. Thank you Al Di Meola and thank you Paco de Lucia. In music you both live and your music will always live on.x
Nunca había visto y escuchar algo asi eso si se llama arte q sale del alma me puedo morir viendo y escuchando ese arte q me lleva fuera de este planeta
What an incredible guitarist!!! Paco de Lucia, the greatest guitarist of all times by far. It’s a shame we don’t see great musicians like that out there anymore. Rest in peace Paco, your music is art & it shall forever be remembered!!!
They both play very well together. That's important. No guitar player dominates.It's amazing how they can play fast run, and it all sounds good. Very melodic.

Chris built a guitar for me 16 years ago. Cut-away classical with MIDI pickup. I love that instrument.

He is with Eddie Van Halen having a great time playing their golden guitars from heaven.
Does anyone else realize how they communicate with their eyes all the time? Its like they were so used to play with each other and also play so well that they kind of just improvise.
They actually improvise- a lot...
They have played a lot together over more than a decade. Paco came to the us and made music here, met with Aldi and many others. They played, and toured together.
What you see as improv is actually something called " play". It's a phenomenon with professional musicians where one goes after another in a kind of " random" guitar streak but they still need to be in tune with the music. So they can't wonder off from flamenco to jazz you see. This requires immense knowledge on sounds, chords, speed, timing and knowledge on the guitar.

It's amazing how much they look at each other. The song is improv - they are feeding off each other while their hands are doing amazing runs.

The nicest part is that they're having fun. They look at each other and smile
Paco's technique is flawless. When he plays fast, it sounds better when he uses his fingers instead of the pick. What a boss.
There's definitely more variance there. Di Meola's playing is either loud or even louder. Paco's able to get really soft when he wants.
Wouldn't want to go head to head with either one of them though. Ever.

The really cool ting is, at this level, it's not about perfection but being able to witness the intertwining of gifting and spirits and having your brainwaves move in sympathy with sound.
Este personaje es el Rey del flamenco y será recordado por los siglos de los siglos QEPD
Sin desmeritar a ningún guitarrista para mi concepto Paco de Lucía es el mejor guitarrista que he visto en mi vida si estilo flamenco de una pisada perfecta es de difícil ejecución y no creo que exista otro igual y aclarando soy rockero admiro a Malsteen a Steve Vai a Satriani pero Señores este es el maestro en el sentido más explicito del arte de hacer musica
Yo pensaba que Malmsteen era lo mas complejo en guitarra, pero ver tocar a Paco, es cosa de otro planeta, una locura.. Genios ambos.
Pues tienes sentado a su lado en este mismo video alguien al menos tan bueno como él y sin el cual no se le conocería fuera de España.
@@rod88855bienvenida sea entonces la genial grandeza de Di Meola, gracias a la cual, según usted, De Lucía seguiría siendo un mindundis. Qué santos huevos tienes soltando semejante sandez.
@@opuskillsandez es la tuya. Se cura fácil. Puedes dejar de ser un ignorante buscando un poco. Encontrarás al propio Paco contándolo y también a Al di Meola, que de forma humilde lo hace a la vez que le alaba. Son hechos. Yo no invento nada. Acabas de aprender algo... quizá.
What a blessing Paco de Lucia's music is! Always thankful for it. Rest in peace, Paco 🎶
tengo 20 años, vi una presentacion de tomatillo en gto cuando tenia 15 años y una tia me ilustro acerca de Paco de Lucia y yo les juro que se me pone la piel chinita, observo a estos maestros y se me salen las lagrimas de lo bello que es este video.
This is by far the best live performance of any kind that I've seen during my entire life. The arrangement, the harmony, the perfection of execution... Supernatural, extraterrestrial....
Un saludo desde Chile a todos esos Pacos de la música ,grande Paco donde Kiera k estés,siempre te admire desde niño y por ti aprendí la música y no solo tocarla sino sentirla.
Paco is proof of what a guitar player can become. The effortless skill is like that of Buddy Rich when he played drums. Only he could do what he could do and he knew it.
Anything good that one says about this performance is bound to be a huge understatement. Words cannot express the greatness. One can only listen in awesome silence.
Grande como el uno
musket 0402 What you said is a huge understatement!
Es increíble la maestría y el virtuosismo de estos 2 guitarristas!!!! Puedo escucharlos por horas y horas sin cansarme!!! Un verdadero deleite para los oídos!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No hay con quién compararlo Paco eres patrimonio cultural de la humanidad y que privilegio de
Al Di Meola el tocar con Tigo tu no te irás nunca
One never truly never knows how beautiful and moving music can be until they hear something like this.
Wonderfull words
rest in peace Paco sir u meant a lot to this guitar fraternity thank you for all your guitar creations
Hey Reeshi Gupta, are you an Indian with love for Paco and flamenco? I am a Gupta, too, and love that music; i got to know the Maestro a bit as an organizer...
La música es un arte que crea felicidad para aquel que lo escucha.....gracias Magos y maestros
The dynamics and intensity of Paco's playing are really evident here. What an absolute master.
*Happy Birthday Al. I wish sir Paco de Lucia were also here. You two jamming together is one of the greatest things ever happened after the Big Bang! Stay healthy* ❤️
When I was 11 or 12 my grandfather gave me some dusty old flamenco lessons that were printed ages ago and on yellowed paper and were wrinkled but still in tact. I also got cassettes and old VHS with a lesson or two. I didn’t have a guitar for another year or so, but the anticipation to play because of this and because of listening to his old cassette tapes that I had an immense passion for learning the instrument and for Flamenco and Classical guitar. It’s too bad I got into Nirvana and Punk rock a year later and it completely destroyed that sense of virtuosity that I was so fond of early on. I turned onto another Punk and talked trash about virtuosic guitar playing. Now much older I go back to these videos and wish to relive that moment early on that got me started in the first place, and I try to learn like I was supposed to. Thank you Paco.
This song is called Río ancho (wide river) in the flamenco original. th-cam.com/video/UVk7eUmzdXo/w-d-xo.html Nirvana and punk is also good :)
Great comment.
Такого великолепия уже давно нет, вот они лучшие из лучших! Привет из России !

Bueno vosotros tenéis a цой.
Un abrazo.
Hermosas interpretaciones ..!!! Música que no escucho desde ya años porque la buscaba y sin dar, me llegó por este medio.
Hats off to whom ever filmed this!
Magnificent filming
Paco, el máximo maestro del flamenco. Definitivamente te extrañamos. Tu música es ya un legado y tu presencia se queda en nuestros corazones.
OMG, what else can you say?! Speechless and surrenders to the magnificence of these two guitar gods!
Hermoso de escuchar, mágico y atemporal... 🎧🧘♂
Paco de Lucia's right hand technique is incredible. A wonderful duet. Two of the same type of guys, having fun and challenging each other. Thanks for uploading.
It is truly unbelievable. He does with two fingers what most of us cannot even do with a pick.

Beautiful. Always one phrase ahead. Don't know how else to describe it. Such beautiful music that catches out your ears. Always ahead of the game. Beautiful and genius. I keep coming back to this video as it captivates me so much. Put simply. This makes me happy. This makes me smile. Music is love. Thank you Al Di Meola and thank you Paco de Lucia. In music you both live and your music will always live on.x
Un par de prodigios que nos llevan al cielo con su guitarra flamenca. Gracias
Reconocería el Mediterráneo entre todos los mares mi tierra Andalucía esta música del alma que suerte tengo 😊
Paco de Lucia is defenetly a legend, Simplemente lo mejó!
The intense love they show each other renews a hope and faith in humanity that sustains me.
Nunca había visto y escuchar algo asi eso si se llama arte q sale del alma me puedo morir viendo y escuchando ese arte q me lleva fuera de este planeta
Par de maestros, par de genios. Gracias eternas. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎸🎼🎶🎸🎼🎶
What an incredible guitarist!!!
Paco de Lucia, the greatest guitarist of all times by far. It’s a shame we don’t see great musicians like that out there anymore.
Rest in peace Paco, your music is art & it shall forever be remembered!!!
pueden improvisar por horas, increíble ,, PACO POR SIEMPRE!
They both play very well together. That's important. No guitar player dominates.It's amazing how they can play fast run, and it all sounds good. Very melodic.
