4:26-4:30 is an astounding moment. These 2 immense Masters trading ideas and freedoms and Paco hits that incredible deep flamenco alzapua technique in his response and it is utterly epic yet as hes finishing the idea his face depicts a sweet gentlemess saying over to you my Dear Friend. So powerful and beautiful. And Mclaughlins little head nod and massive smile knows whats occurring.
Tears in the eyes. The beauty the talent the fun the skill the spontaneity. Pacos guitar tone is one of the greatest sounds ever. Mclaughlins ideas are some of the greatest ever.
There are several bootleg recordings where Steve joined them on stage in 1983. What becomes obvious after comparing their solos, Steve certainly kept up speed wise, but honestly was lacking in rhythmic variety that Al had. He was there as a planned substitute for Al who had a shoulder injury, but got better. Instead of letting Steve go he did the opening act solo, then joined them for the encores. Much like Larry Coryell, anybody other than Al takes the role of back up rhythm for these too monsters (Paco and John). People unfairly attack the musicality of Al Dimeola and I get that, but honestly he was the perfect foil for these two and his compositions were the backbone of the repertoire IMO, certainly the more well known melodies were his, even though I preferred the sophistication of John’s pieces.
Visions come from prepared Spirits. I think it's safe to say the preparation of these two utterly astonishing, awe inspiring, extraordinary spirits... Is on a level that the majority of guitarists in this world are completely baffled by. John will be 83 years of age on January 4, 2025. We lost dear Paco February 25, 2014, he was only 66. Rest in peace Paco. You earned your wings, as did your partner John, the day you guys were born. I was lucky and saw the Super trio back in the 80's at the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, CO. I think I was 18 at the time. I was front row right under Paco. I could reach out and pat his foot which I did... once! He looked at me with those blazing dark eyes and said please don't do that. I said I am so sorry . He said it's okay kid, I still love you. My friends were so jealous. Made my life up to that point. Thank you fellows for the years of inspiration and heart warming performances. 8^) 💗🤍💙 ✌😻
👁️Es una pieza preparada previamente y un poco de improvisación, sin embargo, se basan estrictamente en armonías precisas, aún con todo, es notoria las imprecisiones graves en las escalas de ambos, esto no es una crítica, es una observación objetiva desde el sentido común. Cuando hubo un trío con Aldimeola se hizo evidente que él estaba tocando las escalas correctamente, a diferencia de estos dos maestros que divagaban en aproximaciones en torno a la armonía.
Il manque Aldi Méola et le trio est parfait ... Maintenant pas tout le monde peut être d'accord car il se trouve que dans le Rock il y a aussi d'excellents guitaristes ... comme Jimmy Hendrix qui a donné la claque à tout le monde ... Lol
Egberto Gismonti ? Gilberto Gil ? anyways; the short version opener from Electric Dreams was titled Guardian Angels and the version from Saturday Night In San Francisco is titled Guardian Angel
My favorite composition from John Mclaughlin
Where is everyone - maybe speechless hence lack of comments. Doesn’t get much better than these hermanos.
One of my favorite McLaughlin pieces. Whenever it is played. RIP Maestro Lucia
@@chrrev1no it is not
Both.

The story of how de lucia learned how to improvise with them is a wonderful one
Both together masters. Cheers for all the masters, between others biggest masters. 😊
The best of the best guitarists on earth. This is Gold.

A great composition.
2 beautiful Masters.
love how relaxed they are but playing so intense
Guitar heroes!!!
McLaughln is simply brilliant! His depth and breadth of musicianship is astounding.
Simply The Best
Wow! Amazing performance of this great piece!
I always wondered what the trio would have been like with John, Paco and Steve Morse substituting Al DiMeola.

Very thoughtful comment.
The title is actually "Guardian Angel."
