Birelli Lagrene & Al Di Meola & Larry Coryell -"Super Guitar Trio"

Al Di Meola / Larry Coryell / Biréli Lagrène "Super Guitar Trio"
An exceptional reunion of this guitar trio for the occasion. A real treat! Featuring the indefatigable Al Di Meola, whose performance in last year's Festival was acclaimed by a crowd gone wild, Biréli Lagrène, the young Frenchman revealed by the Festival in 1985, will contribute his gypsy qualifications. They will be joined by yet another musician graced with magic fingers, Larry Coryell, who played in last year's Festival. Three guitars, three remarkabie virtuosos, three major musicians on the international scene.

[@donnieluc6830]

RIP Larry Coryell... One of the greatest guitarists I ever had the privilege of seeing perform.

[@RodrigoOrtizSalema]

Donnie, how sad. I did not know 😪😪😪

[@InternationalBehrupiya]

Truly a master.

[@sancho8521]

Costa Mesa, the other bar on the beach, what's the name, maybe on Hermosa? And Santa Monica Civic with Alphonse Mozoun 11th House !

[@kenomelokreo5839]

I had the privilege to personally know him in the concert in the Castell de Belver - Mallorca (Spain) 1985, along with two guitar Spanish monsters like Joan BIbiloni and Tito Alcedo. Great concert, great music and a great and sympathetic person. All my regards to him.

[@lemouatijamal7231]

I had a chance to see him performing and was lucky to talk to him. RIP Larry.

[@wpdoyle]

Bireli has got to be on the very short list of greatest unsung musicians in history.

[@hiramrosenberg2554]

He has my vote for best guitarist alive. Too bad Rolling Stone is unaware.

[@mitchie2267]

Bireli is the best and I love that he is such a risk taker. Al relies on the same old licks even though I love him too.

[@FenceThis]

There's nothing unsung about Bireli's musical qualities, he is highly regarded and recognized as being a completely unique guitar wizard.

[@laurenceragot4116]

normal is extra terrestre

[@hipgnotist777]

Seems pretty sung to me. If only by me. And f*ck Rolling Stone.

[@MrFelice49]

I have been listening to the great Larry...for 2 days(After I had known he had suddenly passed away...what a shame!!.) I rediscovered this great performance...SUPER!! At the moment I am really enjoying one of his most recent work..whose title is THE LIFT...incredible..have a listen if you can... Thanks Larry... never too late to enjoy your amazing playing....rest in peace...

[@petel2952]

I talked with Larry at NAMM in Los Angeles after I heard him play. What a great time to remember.

[@jimsmith1930]

Love The Lift! Wish more could have a listen Larry was still creating interesting unique music

[@InternationalBehrupiya]

Its insane that Larry was a childhood hero to both these guys. Especially Al.

[@abrahamvazquez2694]

Wow!!! Bireli way way ahead of his time!!! What a wonderful performance!!!

[@demianmeyer8104]

aver is the king

[@terryhayward7905]

I was listening to Weird al, thenToto, Lee Ritenour, Al d-Meola, and ended up here, there is no where else to go after this, Anywhere else is down.

[@wpdoyle]

I was at this show, in front of Al. It was in May 1990 at Nightstage in Cambridge, MA.

[@JoeCavanaugh]

+William Doyle *same

[@GaryJ1948]

Funny I did not see you. I looked all over for you.

[@martinluc2361]

Iam born 3 year after this show , living near Birelli but i never seen him !

[@TheBostoniaRecords]

I was right next to you :)

[@wpdoyle]

Bostonia Records Yes! I lent you 20 bucks and am still waiting! Lol

[@adrielpires5741]

This is those types of things that can never get old, amazed me when I was just a kid and it still does...🔥 🔥 🔥 Brings me back in time. Just me with my older brother locked in the room listening to these guys cassettes day and night. Such a great memory.

[@dagostinoification]

La musique peut sauver le monde , voila ce que l'on pense lorsqu'on entend cela !C'est tellement beau ! rip Larry ...+ les Anges doivent se réjouir ...

[@loud7070]

Super is an understatement here. Fabulous!

[@josemolina959]

Such virtuosity!!! Mind blowing

[@johnhanford7718]

Could not stop watching !

[@mick2136]

Al Di ... incredible !

[@rocknroll1923]

I've never see these three together but had the great fortune to see Al 2nd row in a setting of about 125 people. It was such a magnificent time. I found the show by accident.

[@GabrielGarcia-bl5xe]

Commenter me paraît déplacé tant le moment que j'ai passé est sacré!

[@DarkeningSkies1]

So cool to see these three together. Larry was originally in the McLaughlin/Paco/Al trio before Al stepped in. And Bireli plays on Larry’s “Spaces Revisited” instead of McLaughlin (who was on Larry’s original “Spaces”)... so many connections.

[@DAVEHEATWOLE]

Django would be proud of these guys!

[@christellekeubou7130]

He was the uncle of Birelli

[@catacomb1984]

lol the looks on the faces of Al and Bireli when Larry totally goes nuts during Spain.

[@baartkoster1120]

Rhythm, lyrical melodies: it's all there. Great gig!

[@BoZen64]

ho my god! thankyou very muthe you are changing the consciences

[@mauroalbert_gypsyguitar]

Bireli Lagrane young but already a genius, impeccable technique, clever phrases, and beat up!

[@Lorenzo-lo3cm]

😂

[@oliverbrochu1466]

already miles ahead of al and larry

[@aleksik4028]

Miles ahead? No.

[@oliverbrochu1466]

Don't get me wrong I really like Al and Larry as composers, but Bireli is beyond question a better player. Fight me.

[@liamerick7262]

his level of improvisation is out of this world, the only other one with this kind of mastery is allan holdsworth.

[@lemouatijamal7231]

Tx for posting, truly a rare video.

[@pierrelacoste6621]

OKKK I THINK TO MYSELF, THERE IS NO JAZZ OF JAZZ FUSION, OR FUSION MUSIC GUITARS PLAYERS ,WHO NO HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS LEGEND OF GUITARS TRIO, BECAUSE ,IT'S THE MOST MORE BEST GUITARS PLAYING IN THE HUMAN WOLD 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝😃🌟

[@JonHop1]

Sound is incredible

[@highphlyer]

These guys must be soulmates. They are so completely tuned into each other!

[@Estabonbon]

I saw them in around 91' in San Juan, Capistrano, CA... met them

[@Brian98121]

What a beautiful piece, performed by three of the greatest guitar players in the industry. Al's solos are hauntingly beautiful.

[@pierrot4714]

He's the best , le maître , du pur jouissif ... merci

[@doughocking6317]

Al d is the Man playing with other men with exceptional talent.

[@docoftheworld]

whoever uploaded this video did mankind a huge favor ....

[@alexkarnaukhov8020]

Вот это уровень мастерства. Автору спасибо за видео.

[@АнатолийСергеев-т3н]

Вот в таком согласии и гармонии как эти прекрасные музыканты должны жить все люди нашей прекрасной планеты ЗЕМЛЯ !!!

[@salvatoremannu6555]

Senza parole....MAGNIFICi !

[@sylvielopez2686]

Maravillo de entender los mejor guitarrista , falta dos , John i paco , deberías 5 , los mejor del mundo , no olvidamos que Paco encontró Al , John , porque el soñado viene de la guitarra española , Paco De Lucia fue uno que participó encontrar un otra manera de tocar la música española , jazz, flamenco , una mezcla importante para el futuro de los guitarrista . Excellents guitaristes et infatigable dans la recherche de la perfection . Olé !

[@mahatma791]

merveilleux

[@stjepanbilic9748]

Soo great, one better than the other. Outstanding at all.

[@MirkoFait]

Wonderful ;)

[@nunoSG73]

Quel talent !!! Il faut même avoir déjà un bon niveau à la guitare pour se rendre compte à quel point ces mecs atteignent un niveau technique et un feeling vraiment exceptionnel !!

[@slangpdx]

J'espere que c'est vrai, parce que j'ai bcp pratique et joue moi meme et je n'acheve pas ce qu'ils font, meme que j'ai copie les licks de coryell et son collaborateur Phillip Christian avec qui eil avait fait deux albums annees 70s, don't deux pieces Django, Nuages et My Serenade. Coryell a signe mes copies des deux que je les lui ai presentes ici a Portland apres un concert, annee 2012 je crois, il etait surpris que quelq'un les aurait. Je l'a dit que j'avais vole ces chops pour jouer sur une cd d'une amie francaise chanteuse/ecrivain.

[@sancho8521]

Just watched Al, Steve Morse, Steve Vai "Rocking the Free World". No comments allowed. Simply Amazing! This should be awesome too. Saw Al with Paco & John McLaughlin in London, to open the tour, which was recorded in San Francisco later.

[@sancho8521]

13 min in; DiMeola and these other 2, Wow!

[@JustineDodd]

Every... single... note: played by a legend and legendary!

[@Johnnyhumbkr]

I miss my Ovation guitar! Bought it around 1985. It was a Legend Glen Campbell model., non cutaway. Never had to hydrate it either!!!

[@baguette3000-V2]

La classe Bireli sur spain!

[@ВладимирЕфремов-т2ф]

Это что то из мира фантастики.Это не игра на гитаре, это супер вариации.Сто раз браво.

[@lukastheinfinite7311]

What an astounding ensemble!

[@juancpgo]

3:38 super dope little moment there, when Birelli ends up his line with harmonics

[@fredericdellaz8808]

Ovation always got a medium sound ....... And a very specific sound ..... With good harmonics, Sir Philipp ....

[@gerarddupont3568]

waouuuuuuuuuuh!!! un trio de malade c'est gars avec le grand Al Di Meola

[@seejasongee]

Ahhh, when Ovation guitars were KING. My how times have changed since they were recently sold off to DW and outsourced to Asian production companies. I still have two of them, a 6 and a 12-string. Nice sound.

[@DimiPlaton]

amazing!!

[@pgonzo98]

was the show sponsored by ovation guitars..paco added humanity to this type of trio...lots of chops..

[@thomas.vanderzwan]

Bireli's solo at 44:50 is so full of great ideas.

[@brianmessemer2973]

All of his solos are full of wonderful ideas. It's truly mind boggling.

[@brianmessemer2973]

Check out his Melodie au Crepuscule. Incredible variations, all great ideas, I'm sure you'll enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKfXaX2Nh7-Go7c

[@NorthernPlus]

Well, just arriving here at the moment...I don't comprehend what they are playing either for what I know of the musicians...

[@wjpipkin]

23:19 - 36:38 is by far the best part of this concert. That's Chris Carrington on classical guitar.

[@rickhansen1262]

Good stuff

[@martinluc2361]

really like that one , look like Bach couterpoint

[@miketucker6005]

Had the pleasure of meeting Chris when i was in high school such a great guy and a incredible guitarist he played in a little restaurant by himself with a little backing track thing he had.al was my favorite guitar player at the time so when I asked him to play Mediterranean Sundance he kinda laughed then goes on to tell me he was al's guitar player i was blown away to say the least

[@webjoyz]

Al doen't get older... what is his secret beside music? gee, guys, you bring dreams to reality! love you

[@paulpower7018]

Although Al Di meola is kinda being showcased here (mostly flamenco take -offs of his earlier work including some return to forever stuff) they all are great musicians to be sure ! R.I.P. Larry. Despite the ovation guitars used I think it sounds great !!! What a production! So beautifully synchronized for the three of them, a lot of work went into this. They are seamlessly groving together...

[@johnfarmer4099]

Yeah Di Meola was showcased, but he had to show off his new hair weave.

[@giangi96]

was fantastic, i wish i was here for something amazing...

[@adrianbrown5443]

Truly astonishing genius! Wow.

[@balkharianlion]

I like the dynamics, very natural

[@klausbeni8579]

Certainly all great players, but outstanding in terms of musicality without any doubt is Mr. Lagrene!

[@estebanmartinezfragnaud9477]

exelente , fusion flamencagitana , una maravilla

[@23Brettski]

Al!!!

[@kennybeckett]

Al di meola the greatest! he sits in the middle of this trio.When mclaughlin in on stage,he always sits to john,s side di meola is a fantastic player yet doing the same style for 30 years or so from back to his elegant gypsy days..

[@loucifer323]

Al's left hand is amazing

[@simonlawrie9215]

I’ve just switched to floating mode . The only thing is I’ve got to come back down again , at the end of this masterpiece .

[@camousjoel5043]

Larry Coryell est né en 1943 Al Di Meola en 1954 et Bireli Lagrène en 1966.

[@geraldreuter1678]

Amazing! Männers !!! :-))

[@MrMaanh2o]

Awesome trio.

[@MrMaanh2o]

Al Di Meola, Larry Coreal, and Birelli Lagrene

[@viniguitarjazz]

very very good

[@irishguy13]

Well, I'm impressed.

[@barjoblues]

it's the sound of thoses guitars "ovation "with a kind of "poly holow bowl" give that sound.......but thoses people play with modes and cross frontie from Spain to Django jive and modern jazz ! and they do !

[@logothescanandeffectmaker2122]

Awesome👏

[@grokeffer6226]

Lovely.

[@claudegagnon999]

R.I.P. Larry et longue Vie à Biréli et Rafale...

[@gantz33tz]

De lo mejor de youtube 10/10

[@АнжелаПасниченко]

просто обалденный концерт. Почему я сейчас не слышу подобный контент?

[@nacienlos70]

I shred, you shred, he shreds, they shred and so forth...

[@jasoncavitt2043]

I take it you're not on board?

[@leonpetersen7346]

LOL...yeah....in fact, the concerts with Al did with Paco and John, they actually admitted as much.....a vehicle for virtuosity, that's it.

[@luarkkent]

Words do not give justice... LISTEN....

[@jeremitocomplo]

Best shred ever !!!

[@pierrot4714]

Une entente si parfaite dans une si belle perfection sans livre ni partition , comment est-ce possible ? on se pose la question ...

[@foxybrown2]

Al has the best right hand in the business besides the gypsy players

[@KickflipGnasty]

Yes he does indeed.

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

Sure but Bireli is a more diverse improviser.

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Replace birelli and di meola with Paco de Lucia and John Mclaughlin and then we're talking.

[@josemolina959]

Masters!!!

[@doughocking6317]

Unbelievable!

[@vincentautier4616]

les plus grands talents GYPSY reunis pour un SUPER CONCERT🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@vincentmondello2052]

Great work, could care less if it is on OVATION, obviously a sponsored event. 19 thumbs down? Damn you guys must be good.

[@MrAnderswt]

Ovation heaven.

[@MrAnderswt]

Same here.

[@FenceThis]

Ovation mostly owed their fame to being more or less the first of the type. They are terrible to sit with and they really sound unguitaristic. Have nice fretboards and comfortable low access though.

[@claudiojusto8663]

Bireli el mejor lejos!

[@RickyLandi]

Bireli looks like Andre The Giant in his prime in wwf

[@Emanual0607]

Ricky Landi lol

[@abrahamvazquez2694]

Lmao!!!! A mix between Hugo Sanchez and Andre the Giant but his playing beyond his years and beyond times. He was on some new millennium stuff!!

[@PureAntipop]

I've always thought this and been calling him that for years now!

[@ghanisalibas7562]

Virtuoso !!!

[@juancamacholeon9444]

Birelli. SUPERB

[@bs48267]

Man, those instruments sound good together

[@mick2181]

Al Di Meola the best ....

[@babalonworking6]

insane!

[@patricksallings7281]

Variations on Piazzolla at 23:17!

[@maurisampao3698]

+Patrick Sallings is not a variation , is a song called tango suite

[@Drone-Immo-66]

Oui de superbes guitaristes, mais ces rencontres sont toujours à celui qui à la plus grosse !!!

[@comtedesaintgermain8242]

Termendous interprets ! I am Knock Down !

[@robherrgott2802]

Heading order Birelli, Al and Larry - notes order Al, Larry and Bireli, but on video left to right - you enjoy Larry, Al and Bireli.

[@strogold21]

Awesome concert! Bireli 52:17 pfiouuuuu

[@ExtremeRecluse]

My God!!!!!

[@petercallaway3420]

Well speed thrills and so do skills! Al is the fastest in this outing but Larry and Bireli showed up this performance as well. Carrington was magnificent with angelic Classical/Flamenco filigrees.

[@r4b32t11]

WOW ❤
