Saturday Night In San Francisco
The precursor "Friday Night In San Francisco", recorded at the Warfeld
Theatre in San Francisco on December 5, 1980 (and originally released in
1981), is considered one of the most successful acoustic guitar albums
ever
An iconic album treasured for capturing three legendary and diverse guitar
virtuosos – Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia (1947-2014) – at the
height of their unparalleled mastery highlighted by a superbly nuanced and
stunningly realistic recording.
The reason why the original concert is such a milestone and went beyond the
niche audience, becoming a mass product, is the unique mix of jazz, fusion,
famenco, and Mediterranean music.
For 40 years, nobody knew that the recording of the Saturday show existed…until
now! Combing through hours of the original 16- track live session tapes, Al Di
Meola and his team have curated a breath taking follow-up: Saturday Night In San
Francisco.
