VIDEO: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco De Lucia - "Friday Night in San Francisco" [2DVD]




I wasn't sure I could seed this show without cutting out 4 tracks that are on the official release LP and CD. But the officially released tracks are slightly different from this video. They are not exactly the same. The studio release was "doctored up." For a long time, I've been trying to find a better quality version of this show, but after speaking to a couple others who have this show, they all seem to be from the same source. This video is fairly dark but has good audio quality. It is VERY watchable. If I had a time machine, this would be one of my first stops (I would really only use time travel to see shows). I've always had hope that one day, this video will be commerically released. One of the greatest performances by anyone, anywhere, anytime !!!
