- This is from Bruford's first live date from the 1979 tour supporting "One Of A Kind" (the opening graphic is a bit misleading, sorry, too lazy to change it now...).
This track is pretty cool because of the free improv section in the middle, which Allan would later "copyright" (LOL) as "Zones". BTW Jeff Berlin KILLS here.

Saw Holdsworth & Bruford in 81 or 2 in SF @ a tight little club on Broadway.. Fabulous!!
but separately. Allan with his band, Bill with Crimson. Both Outrageous Shows!! The Talent Oozing from those Two Projects was Overwhelmingly Awesome & Spendid to Behold. Thankyou to All of Them... 4/9/24.. Illinois, USA..
" Allan Holdsworth single-handedly rewrote the language of jazz guitar." td
One of... my favorite albums of all time! This is a great clip! I got to see Bruford live, but when I got there, I discovered that Allan had left the band. "The Unknown John Clark" did an admirable job and the band was great, so I wasn't too disappointed. And besides, I got to see Allan live with his own bands a half dozen times later, which totally made up for it.
Same here
I saw Bruford with John Clark on gtr in 1980 double billed with brand X.
When I first heard Allan in 1979 on One of a kind, I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing. So fast & fluent. Such totally original use of unusual scales & intervals whilst being melodic & lyrical. Wore out my vinyl of that & fgtm. Changed my approach to guitar. Try new things, experiment, go for it. Avoid cliches. I saw him later that year with Ian carrs nucleus. His playing was so advanced original & unique. Superhuman fretboard feats. Also his astoundingly original chordal compositions/harmonies on his subsequent solo albums. There'll never be another. Glad I got it see him live 5 more times after that over the next 30 years.
My initiation to Allan was The Tony Williams Lifetime album, "Believe It," and of course I couldn't! Interestingly, I previously discovered John McLaughlin through one of Tony's earlier albums; "Emergency." McLaughlin knocked me out, but hearing Holdsworth for the first truly blew my mind! And of course he continued to evolve throughout his career. Out of the half dozen times I heard him live, my favorite concert was with Chad Wackerman, Steve Hunt and Skuli Sverrisson. I always preferred Allan's bands with a keyboard player; just wanted to hear those complex chords and progressions he was soloing over. I've often wondered if he toured with a trio for budget reasons. No biggie though, he was ALWAYS amazing!
Berlin killing it..on bass
Precise Punctuation
Just Unbelievably Great.
I was there!!!
Saw UK 1978, IOU 1985 & 86, BRUFORD (with John Clark). .oh well. .thanks for the upload. .
Bad Ass!
This recording is NOT from the Paradise Club... this is in fact audio from the “Rock Goes to College” performance. Listen to what Bruford says at the end, it is word for word what he says on the “Rock Goes to College” DVD show...
.still looking for live "Abingdon Chasp". .
I was cleaning my studio and found a CDR where I have a copy of Live at Paradise Club and ya it's way more raw and much wilder. Not the same!
still looking for it online again
seems right. the tone of everything is the same. allan had a really bad tone night, treble, tinny, no ambiance. maybe he wasn't properly mic'd up by the sound guy.

rare! interesting to hear allan playing the melody, but boy, his tone is pretty bad, tinny, trebly, grainy, just like other videosfrom this era, like the bbc videos. i guess he hadn't wrangled that magic tone for live situations. god knows his guitar tone on the album is perfection, but must've taken lots of tinkering with mic placement, console/EQ etc...
not perfect - but pretty cool
