RE: Paco De Lucía - Discography (in reply to Pimientito)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Pimientito This next recording should really be of interest Ricardo. Im not really sure how to categorise it. I said at the beginning of this discography that we should not list Bootleg recordings. This recording is definately not an official release but it is commercially available. Its a live concert of the guitar trio with material I have never heard before. This Double CD is simply called John McLaughlin - Al Di Meola - Paco de Lucia. It was made in Italy on a label called "All of us" and distributed by Minotauro Records. The recording itself sounds as if it was taken directly from the mixing board. Pacos guitar is more audible than the others. The tone is awful and the whole recording could have done with a serious sound engineer balencing the EQ, levels and adding some reverb. There is some audience noise on the recording too. Saying all that, they captured a night where the trio were on fire. Paco in particular pulled some impossible tricks out of the bag and was outplaying Al di Meola. Its impossible not be astounded by the playing on this recording. There is no indication of where the concert was or the date. I am assuming it was in Italy since John says "Grazie" to the audience but there are no sleeve notes. The concert is over 90 minutes and most of the tracks are over 10 minutes long. The last track cuts off mysteriously after about 12 minutes in the middle of a solo. Perhaps someone knows more about this recording. The 8 extended tracks are CD1 (AS 18/1) Spain David Medley; Grace and fire, mediterranean sundance, Entre dos aguas Sendrio CD2 (AS 18/2) Chiquito Sichia Guardian Angel Orient Blue John McLaughlin - Al Di Meola - Paco de Lucia ITALY (Double CD) "ALL OF US" AS 18/2 Cool man. I would love to have this. I will say first, this is from their 1983 tour for Passion Grace and Fire, where in USA at least, they performed with Steve Morse of Dixie dregs who opened up solo for them, then joined them at the end for two encores. This site captured bootlegs of 3 or 4 of these concerts: http://www.jazzfusion.tv/bootlegaudio.html I think the track list is closest to the 2nd of these concerts if you scroll down. They normally opened with Aspan, but in one case only they opened with Spain. I wonder if David is not actually "Frevo"? The last tune on first disc is SCENARIO by Dimeola. On the USA bootleg they play Aspan after Orient Blue...so probably this Italian bootleg cut off cuz they ran out of tape. The other tunes were Splendido Sundance and/or Chanela, that they did with Steve. Not sure if he joined them in Europe. There is a bad bootleg video on YouTube from Australian tour: http://youtu.be/FAIeFmcbmLg The background music score is of Frevo...and has some wrong notes
