One of my favorite shows ever

Paco with DiMolea and John McLaughlin - Friday Night in San Francisco

Damn.

That trip was simply unreal.

RIP musical genius.

Not a fan of Al DiMeola at all, but that project was great. The Guitar Trio is a good one, too.

Along those lines, Strunz and Farrah are touring the US and I highly recommend seeing them.

Wow, Mediterranean Sundance is epic.

A good bit of it is the tone. I can't stand the sound of Ovations. It's to the point of distraction for me. Don't get me wrong, he's got chops to the moon and back, but a lot of what he plays just leaves me cold. Though I do like MS and Beyond the Mirage.

Just came here to post that same link. I watched it a couple months ago...wonderful player. Amazing he felt he wasn't up to par with Coryell and McLaughlin.

I'm not sure anyone was up to par with McLaughlin to be honest.

True. I had read somewhere (wiki?) that DeLucia didn't want to continue playing with him due to the pressure to perform to his level.

As far as technique and raw chops not sure anyone has touched JM.

Ability to go crazy fast, super accurate, change of times and tonality just crazy.

McLauglin's been one of my favorites since the '80s when I discovered The Inner Mounting Flame. Saw him live once in NYC playing with Trilok Gurtu and Kai Eckard - opening for Coyell, DiMeola and Bireli Lagrene. Never saw DeLucia though.

Big Mahavishnu Orchestra fan here. Sick work by Drummer Billy Cobham. I had a friend, a genius in his own right (totally cool guy who happened to finish first in class at Columbia Med) who could do as good a job with their music as anyone I've seen.
