Man you can hear him trying to get those sax lines and what's REALLY rare is Allan's bending all over the place....by 1984 he wouldn't even be shaking a string but his "Devil take the hindmost" would become one of the most inaccessible solos ever and set him apart from every other guitarist as as an Alien from Space..............
Amazing how he got such an SG sound out of the strat in the photos lol All there's a photo of an SG after all. I wonder where that lovely SG is now. "I remember the Stockholm trip. Allan was quite nervous, because that was not a record as such but a test. Those sessions were Allan's audition for Tony Williams and Allan met Tony for the first time in Stockholm. From what I remember Allan was gone and back in four days. When he got back he thought that he had got the gig, a gig that he wanted really badly: little did he know! I remember that we went to celebrate with a burger at "The Great American Disaster", a restaurant on Fulham Road in South Kensington. "The Great American Disaster"! How ironical! Allan got the gig, left for New York with no money and was back in England a few months later with no money and no guitar. having sold it in San Francisco to escape back to England. Back on the dole in "home sweet home" London. " Alex Gregory
Great band! Killer playing by all. I especially like Jack Bruce's bass work here. And of course Tony and Allan -- the incomparables! God, I miss fusion...
I like Peter Green, John McLaughlin, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa (his guitar solo in Willie The Pimp is really amazing), Manuel Gottsching, Radim Hladik as artists but my most impressive ELECTRIC GUITARISTS are Jimi Hendrix and Allan Holdsworth.
Zappa/Santana great composers but not guitarists. Peter Green great blues, Psychedelic Player but a few years, I prefer Rory Gallagher/Johnny Winter. My list: Hendrix (Revolutionary of the electric guitar) Heavy Blues/Funk/Psychedelic styles. McLaughlin (God of the JazzFusion) Also Acoustic guitar player. His styles Fusion, Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Blues, Indian Raga. Jeff Beck was a similar hero as a Hendrix, but he could also Fusion style. Allan absolutely monster Jazz-Rock, Canterbury Scene styles, Both guitar Electric/Acoustic. Pat Metheny also revolutionary man Electric and acoustic fingerstyle. He can play Fusion and Jazz style. Larry Coryell was a godfather of the Fusion
just play this then right after put on "Devil take the Hindmost'....and you see the technique arrive polished and Alien from any other guitarist on the planet.....

Ive been having a debate with an argumentative wokist who actually believes there are women as talented as Tony Williams and Allan Holdsworth on their respective instruments... FFS... for the love of God!! Just accept facts...in classical music no doubt women equal but jazz and fusion... nowhere near
Love me some early Allan. Or late Allan. Or any Allan really.
All an Allan.
the acoustic Allan , or any Allan indeed 🙂
@@Monkeygroover I do like acoustic Allan. Perhaps my favourite Allan.
@@JazzGuitarScrapbook I listened a lot to those records! I love Gordon Beck on Rhodes, the bass lines he plays are so gooooood! I'm a bass player ;-)
@@Monkeygroover Gordon underrated for sure!
TONY WILLIAMS (d), Laura Logan (voc), Allan Holdsworth (g), Webster Lewis (keyb) and Jack Bruce (b) in 1974.

Holy shit, how have I never heard this?!
Exactly. It's too good? Maybe it was just eclipsed by UK. This is on fire.
That's how I felt when Mahavishnu Orchestra actually made a album called Vulcan Worlds in 1976 ....
So nice. Hearing it for the first time, tonight.

Thought you were Joe Preston for a second

What a heartbreaking story Allan's life
What a band.
Great band! Killer playing by all. I especially like Jack Bruce's bass work here. And of course Tony and Allan -- the incomparables! God, I miss fusion...
Jack Bruce is one of my best bass players with Ares Tavolazzi, Hans Hartmann, Jannick Top and Miroslav Vitous.
Great choices! Love 'em all. I would add Nils Orsted-Pedersen and Jaco.😊
Jankick top on truc with Alex ligertwood and ceccarelli plus cancel babel by Philip Catherine

Thanks for posting.. So cool to hear Holdsworth in this context.

The Drums Were Yellow
Was ausserhalb der Reihe blüht, wächst und gedeiht. Der Rest ist schon untergegangen.......
Alan’s were hands of god and fingers of the devil with only a few can equal, not to say surpass!
None can equal
Only copy
When ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE THIS ????????????????????????????
Recorded in 1974 but not released...this is boot.
