Al Di Meola live at North Sea Jazz 2024

[@pavellopatin6898]

Al Di Meola Forever!!!! Great guitar and world music.....!!!

[@fusionfan6883]

Loving the new chilled Al.

[@Ziko1962]

Aldi Meola is still amazing and will always be...his fusion stuffs is so melodic....and after many years of listening and watching...he don't bend strings that much..but sounds like it...superb technique...!

[@alessandrorossini8704]

For a guy of my age that black Custom is something... that look and that sound, truly a giant piece of electric guitar history...

[@paullevine1813]

Got to see Al with RTF back in 74 & he was using that same Les Paul & then one more time in 76 & he was still making that guitar wail. I have a 1972 LP & for all my guitars that is the one i will never part with as it was the first real guitar i learned on. They are heavy but it's with wrecking your back over. I'm no Al D. but if you would like to hear mine i would be happy to share. I got mine from my teacher in 1973 for the whopping sum of 500 bucks. Not going to find a deal such as that these days. Hey if you like what you hear feel free to leave me a comment. Al is amazing & only around 18-19 years old the first time i saw him with Chick & RTF . kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHnNYWece7mlkKs Gibson's Rock !!

Gemist vorige week. Dank!

[@erickvloeberghs276]

Dank Peter. Hij blijft een meester met de gitaar. Mooi dat hij ook nummers speelt van zijn nieuwe cd (twenty four)

[@PetervanderPalm]

@@erickvloeberghs276 Hij heeft een tijdje terug een hartaanval gehad tijdens een optreden. Gelukkig is hij er nog en hoe. Hij is nog steeds 1 van de beste gitaristen ter wereld.

[@RayTheFarmer]

Seems that he has taken the old DiMarzio LesPaul out of the case - exactly the sound of "Elegant Gypsy" .. He is a hero.

[@paullevine1813]

Yes, he has & should you get a chance to watch his show from the City Winery in Atlanta he says he hasn't touched it since his days with Chick but even though they are heavy as mine is as well he loves the hell out of playing it again & on that show he's got a Tele & a PRS behind him and for close to two hours he never touches either of them. Saw him &RTF back in the mid 70s & that Les Paul still sounds as great as it did then but then again look who's playing it. The only thing i do see is the large switch backing plate on the bottom is gone but the rest looks as it has been in the case for a long while & it's damn nice to see & hear it again. That was not a stock switch option but something he had installed but i don't know the whole story behind that only that it's a coil splitter.

[@aleksik4028]

​@@paullevine1813 Paul Reed Smith sounds to me bit sterile, Les Paul has some bite to it. Dimarzio Super Distortion pickups I think, also used by Ace Frehley.

[@outoper]

Playing Chick! Wonderful music! Viva Return to Forever!

[@bobblues1158]

Yeah!!

[@kenster3554]

Can someone please identify the band members? Looks like Mike Pope on bass.

[@PetervanderPalm]

@@kenster3554 Al Di Meola (guitar); Philippe Saisse (keyboards); Mike Pope (bass); Luis Alicea (drums); Gumbi Ortiz (percussion).

[@kenster3554]

Thanks, I thought that it was Mike.

[@johnbuell8035]

They need a few more perspex screens.

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👌

[@raphaeleagle]

Bedankt om te delen, kon er dit jaar niet bij zijn, misschien volgend jaar. Een vraagje, welke camera gebruik je en mag je die daar meenemen?

[@PetervanderPalm]

@@raphaeleagle Ik heb de Sony cybershot DSC RC 100 Mark 7 en als microfoon de Zoom 1. Deze camera is erg goed en toegestaan. Als statief gebruik ik de Ulanzi 1 been statief. Die is wel verboden omdat het statief als wapen gebruikt kan worden. Gelukkig kost hij een paar tientjes dus als hij ontdekt wordt bij de toegangs controlle ben je hem kwijt. Voorbij de controle heb je er geen problemen meer mee. Toch moet je voor de zekerheid niet te opvallend doen. Als artiesten niet gefilmd willen worden, dat ook niet doen. Zet op je You Tube kanaal je e mail met de tekst dat als de artiest of belanghebbende je video willen verwijderen dat direct via jou kan en niet via You Tube. Dan riskeer je namelijk een auteursrechten clame. Bij 3 clames wordt je kanaal verwijderd. Als je nog meer vragen hebt vraag gerust. Het is een leuke hobby.

[@angelobranford1029]

The plexiglass is to protect his ears. He has tinnitus.

[@mrmogensen]

Jesus christ why can't he take this electric set to Europe 😢

[@michaelgarcia2050]

I think he did.

@@pavelkolacek4447 The more plexiglass the better the sound?

[@lourdesbardamangarcia6181]

Aunque usted no lo crea ahí hay influencia de Santana .

[@outoper]

I can see (hear) that.

[@geevee7823]

Plexiglass and purple lighting obsession.

[@PetervanderPalm]

@@geevee7823 You're quite right. a few years ago it was terribly blue everywhere and now purple is apparently in fashion. The plexiglass is necessary for the drum and percussion kit to better adjust the sound. Why there are screens around the piano is also a mystery to me. But you liked the performance and the quality of my video, right?

[@geevee7823]

@@PetervanderPalm The mic bleeding measures are complete overkill, it never used to be necessary. Caging musicians on stage is idiotic. The NSJF used to be something to look forward to. Every single thumbnail of live music videos I see are purple coloured, it doesn't make sense. Hope you had a great time there and thanks for sharing the recording.

[@fusionfan6883]

I really don’t care, it’s the music that counts, and I have been to so many gigs where the sound is like mush that I appreciate any artist that makes an effort to present the clearest sound possible.

[@1adneumann]

That's allot of plexiglass on stage..... Lacking performer dynamics?

[@michaelgarcia2050]

Those are for isolation for the mix, and to protect his hearing.

[@RainerSteffenHain]

I would refuse to play concerts where they place my drum kit behind plexiglass. They should get a better guy on the mixing console instead.
