Al Di Meola - Chasin' The Voodoo

[@ronoberbeck967]

I saw the show on this tour in Central Park New York. Absolutely incredible❤ His synchronization with the vibraphone player was impeccable. His staccato work is unparalleled. I consider Al DiMiola one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived.🎉

[@-Atmos1]

Reminds me of Frank Zappa

[@lorenzo6mm]

Filthy song. Ultra drama. Wicked tempos. Killer palm muted technique. The legendary Al Di Meola in his youthful prime. Seeing this live twice changed me forever..

[@Brian98121]

Al Di Meola is such a Virtuoso. Incredible guitar player, writer, group leader, and absolutely one of the first shredders of all time.

[@JHEtheridge3]

I met Robbie Gonzalez in Panama City Beach, Florida in 1974. He was a monster way back then. Then saw him with Al Dimeola aseveral years later in Birmingham, Alabama. GREAT! All of them!

[@jasonnichols6164]

Al's precision is......other-worldly. Incredible.

[@placidian]

What a bass line! Oh, and Al's great, too. LOL

[@NimrodelMirage]

You can tell they're enjoying themselves!! Great stuff

[@KeithW-gp3vm]

Saw this one in Berlin, Ger. Freakin amazing!

[@smileymolasses618]

Brilliance!

[@bobolsen8067]

A big part of his trademark sound back then was the Dimarzio super distortion pickup in combination with the stock Gibson pickup in the neck.He always used both pickups at the same time but turned down the neck pickup a hair thats how he got his amazing sound back then and the Marshall amps and cabs of course.

[@-Atmos1]

Cool clip

[@marcshadow7674]

Really guitar magic!!

[@JVLIVSPhotography]

I love this jam! I have both the CD and the LP.

[@rumblesofrevolution]

Just got this LP and man I was coming up on a tab and this kicked in. Omg. Love this track.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

yep lol, LP (second hand store style) and CD same here, got in the late 1990s when I went prog rock jazz fusion interest, love the dynamic colour of the sounds and tempos on this stuff.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

[@TheMenghi1]

Truly one of the few songs that I enjoy from Al De Meola.

[@9Naethy]

WOW ! That guitar

[@brianfergus839]

The music is fantastico! but the most amazing thing on stage has got to be Lander’s mop - that thing must’ve taken two days to dry after he washed it.

[@GazAce]

That %¥#* is just pure jaw dropping awesome 👏

[@RickDanner]

awesome

[@funkcongress]

Thank you for posing this!

[@eljorginho5114]

buenisimo gran tema

[@totalcontrast]

Shot in the days when keyboard players had to turn and twist knobs, slide levers, flick switches and set the next sound up 8 bars before it happened.

[@RICHGREENNOW]

That's exactly right, however in my case, I started the night before.(Ha!) And really, all we had was the extremely heavy Rhodes, Clavinette D6(would die to have one now!), B3, and the d series Minimoog. If you had money, and 5 guys to carry it, along with the "chopped up" B3, the real stringed piano with actual felt and true wooden action. Oh, and that ridiculously complicated monophonic Odyssey. But then things started opening up in the market and now if you drop a ton of money on the latest and greatest, the next day it ain't the latest, but hopefully one of the greats for a while anyway. Thanks for allowing my 2 cents. Or today, due to hard times, I can give a pennys worth.,

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

Anyone got a time machine? I need to get to Berlin about a week before this in 1978. Not willing to sell soul, though will make you the sole beneficiary of my estate for one way ticket.

[@beatrixmunku]

Insanely cool - thank you for being you x

[@LRS905]

Holy fuck. anyone in this lineup of the band not a fucking monster?

[@mugal9086]

ベースまじやべーちょーかっけー

[@DennisTeti]

“Alright!” 0:42 I love that sound at 3:11

[@rogerweafer2179]

This tune BURNS red hot from start to finish!

[@denanydabo4515]

[@Remy16121993]

@ChrisHaspeck thats because he lookes very old when he was 20 , and looked very young when he was 40 :D :D

[@TJH3113]

Has anyone ever seen the footage of this line-up playing "Dinner Music of the Gods" on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert?

[@12345bucko]

yes I saw that on TV back before anyone ever heard of Al DiMeola. I was an instant fan + ever since.

[@ronsansone6032]

I saw the "Casino" album performed in it's entirety in Central Park When I was a kid. EVERYONE was standing on their seats going NUTS! On the train back to Jersey I saw an acquaintance coming back from the same show and I yelled "Hey man, wasn't that Fantastic! And he said "that was the stupidest music I'd ever heard.". I thought, "You're the stupidest idiot I've ever met." It's funny how preference of music becomes so personal. I felt personally insulted by that comment. To each his own..

[@sjd5750]

Funny, because today "stupid" means great!

[@janetnpeterw]

Bro I was at that show it was freaking amazing

[@dennisteti4985]

That’s an ignorant way to talk about something someone doesn’t like. I agree with your sentiments here. Was rude! I would have loved to see this performance. 🎭 🇺🇸🇮🇹🎶💎🎸🤙🏽

[@gizzad]

@jvlivs2 nice one. totally

[@theMarsFusion]

[@nobody8450]

[@AMFUNKII]

Jésus! Le pain du bassiste!? xD

[@vistvan62]

-thx but a little to slow for me:-)))))))))

[@NYCConsigliere]

SCUMBAG FATHER? NY Daily News: Al Di Meola got three gold albums, but the guitar virtuoso doesn't want to pay a penny in child support for his 8-year old son, Kyle. Di Meola allegedly has visited his son only once, according tomother, Magda Barreca.Di Meola Productions rakes in millions but he claimed to have a salary of $49,000 in Family Court & defaulted on $122 per week payments. Di Meola has a $Multi-million dollar Colonial mansion in N.J., a condo in Miami, Land Rover & Mercedes SL 600.

[@orlandoCF1]

Wow..........I cant believe the bassist is using a "P" bass with this music. Not the most aproppriate bass for the music I would say. Still great playing though.

[@7StringTheory]

@NYCConsigliere "doesn't want to pay a penny..." then later "...defaulted to $122 per week in payments." Last time I checked, $122 is a lot more than a penny. I came here for guitar playing, not to be educated on the man's personal life of which you know FAR too much about.

[@ElSerpienteSolida69]

Your mix is like the good taste 101
