You have to read Paco de Lucia's wikipedia page to understand who he really was. More than a guitarist, a legend, one of the great masters of Flamenco guitar. For example, the year of his death, all flamenco shows in Spain began with a minute of silence...A Madrid metro station is named after him... I have immense respect for John and Al who I have seen several times, but I think they will not be as engraved in the history of music as Paco will be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paco_de_Luc%C3%ADa
I saw Paco de Lucia at Massey Hall in Toronto years ago with top class flamenco dancers. Mind blowing. I agree that seeing these 3 artists together is breathtaking.
When the Trio toured Australia in 1983 they had Steve Morse opening the show with an acoustic solo set, and for the encore Morse joined McLaughlin, Di Meola and Paco for a blistering guitar quartet that figuratively took the roof off Sydney Town Hall. That concert stands as one of the most memorable musical experiences of my life.
Los tres son genios, pero que Paco toque sin púa y con los dedos es otro nivel. Además sin amplificadores de sonido. The three of them are geniuses, but Paco playing with his hands and fingers is another level. Plus no sound amplifiers.
AKA: Passion, Grace, + Fire. This wonderful Trio Played an acoustical tour for many years. Caught the act a couple of times @ Skullers Jazz Club, Boston. I must ad a big PS: PS: As wonderful as the music is, after 40 minutes you are done with it. So done... you really do need a whole band to keep you interested. I had to go back a second time to remember that. Then... I went and saw Al D alone unplugged acoustical tour last winter. After 30 minutes... it was great, but I was done...! Then I remembered again...
This was my pick in the poll and so glad it made it through. How you guys felt was how I did when I first heard it. It's not just the playing, which is otherworldly, it's how they interact with each other, such mutual respect. 3 great guitarists, each with their own distinct style coming together and creating such beauty. Friday night in San Francisco is the live album you should listen to with these 3. I think this was from a bigger concert, Pavarotti and friends. Al wrote this track, but the all play each others songs on "San Francisco" Love how John is just casually smiling all the way through like it's nothing, lol. Great reaction, the only downside was mentioning the Eagles in the same sentence as these 3 greats....😆
@@shoutinchuck3363 Paco's background and playing style is totally different to that of Al's and John's but together they are seemless and great. Glad you enjoyed it Chuck 🙂
Actually only the beginning of the track is "Mediterranean Sundance". They quickly blend it with "Río ancho", a Paco de Lucía classic track. They do the same thing in the Friday Night in San Francisco album, of which this is the first cut. Only difference being, John does not play in this track in the album; t's a duo between Paco & Al.
Just sublime..... you should check out the live album of these 3 called "Friday Night in San Francisco" it's all mind-blowing just like this.....great reaction thanks.
I recommend a live performance of the Spanish singer Diana Navarro "CUPLERIAS GALA DE LOS PREMIOS CERES" is a performance that impresses and moves the way she sings and gesticulates and those incredible melismas that she has and with such a personal voice. She is a very versatile singer. Best regards
Saw these guys in 79 in T.O. and was blown away esp watching Paco doing the running spider crawl up and down the neck with both fingers! Basically had to literally pick our jaws up off the floor on the way out!!
Saw 'em in Toronto, same time, Steve Morse opened, won the night, solo and tout ensemble to close the evening McLaughlin was unearthly when I saw him with Santana, '74 or '75
Good pick, Paul! Makes me feel totally inconsequential as a guitarist every time I hear these guys play, lol. As Dan alludes to, there is no studio trickery on a live performance like this, so what you see is what you get. These guys never cease to amaze me.
Thanks Chaz. What gets me is the apparent ease they do this remarkable music. Great guitar is more than just practice/learning. I think there's something within certain people that separates them the norm.
I saw all three of these guys back in the early ‘80s, along with Steve Morse at Mcallister’s Auditorium here in New Orleans. I had fretboards etched into my retinas for the next month. Though I can’t play like this, it was still inspirational and ‘instrumental’ in my guitar playing. I don’t need no stinking’ pick! The live album that you want is FRIDAY NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Love you guys. And I love how you appreciate greatness. I play myself. But I always think somebody's better. Then you see these guys, and ask, why do I play again? Lol
I seen Al play in 77. Everybody threw roses on stage at the end. He buried his guitar in the roses, and left the stage ! That's what I'm talking about !
I've been fortunate enough to have seen Al demeola 5 times. The last time was a couple of years ago, and in some ways, it was the most fun. It was a small venue, and he opened up and told stories. I saw this show when they were touring it. He's never disappointed

Was in the town hall...strange venue..but good.
Saw them in Melbourne. Mind blowing!

They really seemed to connect and enjoy creating music together. Unbelievable performance! Pretty special.
Maybe Paco is the best guitar player of all times

@@SightAfterDark just happy you appreciated it and got to share it.
Good pick Paul! My first time seeing Paco. That's some fiery finger picking going on right there! Masterful.

Paco de Lucia CANCION TICO TICO
LOS DEDOS SACABAN HUMO DE LO RAPIDO QUE ES

Check out Friday Night in San Francisco
Y no utiliza nunca puas!!! El Maestro Paco
for all the chops, the melody stands on its own.
Tres monstruos de la guitarra, pero solo el Rey toca con sus dedos , sin ayuda.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍

Caught this trio in the early 80’s in NYC. Maybe 82,83?? Fucking fantastic, incredible 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Saw 'em in Toronto, same time, Steve Morse opened, won the night, solo and tout ensemble to close the evening
McLaughlin was unearthly when I saw him with Santana, '74 or '75
Originally the trio was in the 80,s but this recording is from the middle of the 90,s ❤🙏
A lot of the rhythm ideas here are based on the Konnakol, system from India ❤️🙏🇮🇳
Thanks for your reaction & video 🙏🙏
Good pick, Paul! Makes me feel totally inconsequential as a guitarist every time I hear these guys play, lol. As Dan alludes to, there is no studio trickery on a live performance like this, so what you see is what you get. These guys never cease to amaze me.

For this performance, I think they were an opening act for opera singer Luciano Pavarotti.

More Al DeMeola. . Something off of Elegant Gypsy. Or whatever. Lol. These 3 are legends. Thank you
I was lucky enough to see this trio live when they reformed for one final tour, magic
I got to see them on their first tour. Just an amazing show.
👍👏👏👏👏
👍👍🎸🎶🎵
Love you guys. And I love how you appreciate greatness. I play myself. But I always think somebody's better. Then you see these guys, and ask, why do I play again? Lol
YEAH,I picked up PASSION GRACE AND FIRE up some years ago...40years..good sound these 3 classy players
I seen Al play in 77. Everybody threw roses on stage at the end. He buried his guitar in the roses, and left the stage ! That's what I'm talking about !
sifa. graffiti, thanks for your words about Paco & John, they are wonderfuls!!!
🙏🙏
If Paco were Italian, it would be Luchia, but he is Spanish.

I’m thinking Al DiMeola wrote this
correct
