Must have been a bot. Or someone with mental disabilities

[@OTRFTransport]

I was thinking the same thing. I can only imagine the overwhelming emotion every time he performs this song

[@yurib7067]

Nobody ripped harder than Al and the Trio in the 1980s legend

[@tangokaleidos1926]

Rockin at 65 years old. He has become a better musician every year.

[@kevinw8688]

Al is like a great wine. As you said, just keeps getting better and better. But unlike a good bottle of wine, we gotta take Al out for a spin and not just let it age. His guitar playing is from another world. And kudos to these fantastic musicians who shared the stage with the maestro.

[@bradyantoniogodoyvaldivia6739]

Creo que es un homenaje al Maestro Paco De Lucía, sublime.

[@vandalnonesuch8274]

IN August 2010. my daughter and I went to see Rodrigo Y Gabriela, a young Mexican couple who are outstanding guitarists in their own right, at the Greek Theatre in LA. Their final guest artist for the evening (they had 3), Al Di Meola, came out and sat in with them, performing Mediterranean Sundance as a trio with him featured! To say it was outstanding would be a huge understatement! My daughter and I each heard something new, different and brilliant that evening!!!

[@katherineelizabeth1870]

Al Di Meola , maravilloso , desde Chile un gran abrazo fraterno 👏💃

[@Jason28282]

I’ve had a few drinks and watched this video. I’ve heard of Al Di Meola and knew of his talent but never listened to his music often. I’m listen to mostly hard core music. I love all music. But I almost stood up and clapped as if I was at the concert when the song ended. That was amazing.

[@grokeffer6226]

👍👍👍

[@ugaugauga488]

That's Paco de Lucia's music, "Rio Ancho." The title Mediterranean Sundance was subsequent to the original title and because it encompassed 3 players as you know.

[@daslous89]

Oh my!! Now it doesn't get any better than that and fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up that guitar!! MELTDOWN!!!!

[@thenostra-ramos9384]

I’ve been blessed to see this incredible arrangement performed by Al and the many over the years. I rarely miss an event if anywhere remotely close. I did not see this version live. I wish I had! Remarkably encouraging and stoic at the same time. Has been and will forever be in my top 5 until the day the music nymph decides my fate!

[@markdonald5919]

absolutely amazing performance! How could I miss it?! I could hear it already 4 years

this is now one of my favorite versions

[@Spinz99]

Just awesome. Al is such a virtuoso and I love this piece. I prefer to see him perform a little happier. A lot of amazing young talent at Berklee as expected. Amazing show.

Had the opportunity to watch Al live in Malaysia in 2003. Been following him since the Mediterranean Sundance album. He doesn't seem to age but probably put on a bit of weight

You mean masterpiece by Paco. It's his music. It's called "Rio Ancho." The Mediterranean Sundance version is the same but with 3 players. Credit for the composition goes to Paco.

[@edoca1]

No es de Paco es de di meola

[@ugaugauga488]

@@edoca1 Paco grabo Rio Ancho en 1975-76. Dale una escuchada, "Almoraima." El tema es de Paco. La intro creo que es de Al. Después los dos hacen improvs pero el tema es de Paco. Por favor indícame en que ano Al hizo ese tema si disputas esto. Asi lo buscare y quizás aprenderé algo nuevo.

[@charlesbukowski7730]

This is a song of paco de lucia!

[@hugomaldonado4623]

You can see that at the final credits.

[@rerman6344]

Yeah. The original Mediterranean Sundance was written by Al back in the 70's. He and paco recorded it for the elegant gypsy album. It has a very different rhythm section. Back when they toured together as part of the guitar trio they blended both versions and it's been played that way ever since.

[@markdavis4986]

Original song was rio ancho by paco

[@rerman6344]

Mark anthony Davis yes, the intro is Mediterranean Sundance. Pretty much all of the rhythmic sections are Rio Ancho. If you listen to the original Rio Ancho the intro is not on it. After al and paco became friends and toured so much they blended the songs. Even paco, when playing rio ancho after the collaboration started using Al’a intro.

[@markdavis4986]

@@rerman6344 i actually didn't know that i thought paco made the intro i just seen paco play the intro with ramon in entre dos aguas and rio ancho i just assumed paco made it

[@Le0ish]

Alguien puede decirme que guitarra es esa que usa Meola?

[@Zelig2Cents]

Beautiful musicianship and artistry! I have one question. Can somebody please explain to me why, out of 3 artists that play nylon-stringed guitars with a pick, Stephen Wilson, Jr, Willie Nelson, and Al di Meola, only one of them, Al, has nylon-stringed guitars whose sound boards don't look like they've been through a war? The soundboards from both Stephen and Willie are badly damaged from the pick. In Willie's case, only below the strings. In Stephen's case, both below and above the strings. Is is just that Al has a better technique? None of the 3 seem to have pick guards on their guitars. Al's not exactly gentle when he's playing those fast notes. I'm mystified.

[@ДнДк-щ2е]

Баян бесподобен. Не ожидал

Special made for him by Scharpach guitars. Called La Porta

@@rerman6344 I thought it was a Felipe Conde?

[@rerman6344]

Nope. He still plays the conde-he had it in Chicago and Dallas when I saw last year. But he had the Scharpach made recently.
