Great opening by Larry Coryell.

Larry and John Blues: never heard something that compares, man.

Larry Coryell kicked it out of the park. No one plays like that!

Why larry very great guıtarist !

[@javierbergiagarcia]

Recuerdo perfectamente ese concierto, como si fuera ayer. Yo disfrute muchísimo, hasta la emoción, fue maravilloso, emocionante. Un espacio y un tiempo que no volverá, se queda en el corazón, hasta siempre.

[@sylvielopez2686]

Trois génies de la guitare , Larry Coryell dépasse très largement le trio qui avait eu lieu avec Al Dimeola concernant entre dos aguas , tous le répertoire est très beau , John Mc Laughling est un génie il a expérimenté différents répertoires , ainsi que Larry Coryell , Paco De Lucia à lui aussi de son côté élargi le répertoire du Flamenco et le rendre encore plus accessible vers une évolution qui s'inscrira pour les générations futures , excellents tous les trois guitaristes , la musique n'a pas de frontières beaucoup d'âmes et de charismes se qui fait d'eux des monuments de la musique pour les futurs musiciens . Merci à ses trois génies et quel plaisir de les écouter !

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Yes, I always felt the live album should have been this line up. With di meola it's not as musical and becomes more of a competition in his attempts to outdo Paco. Never gonna happen. The rhythm is lost too.

[@richardhouse9813]

John's 'Pork pie hat" [Mingus] must be one of the most extraordinary pieces of live guitar playing ever witnessed by anyone, anywhere, any time. The great man is in another universe - he goes straight to The Divine. Just witness this... (it starts around 7 mins 40), and be rendered utterly speechless by this virtuosic genius - just like countless thousands across the globe were by the first Mahavishnu Orchestra. RH, Stroud, UK

[@nicksobekmusic]

It's interesting how similar McLaughlin's tone is to his Shakti tone, despite completely different guitars. Some say it's all in the fingers.

I saw this when I was in my teens on television when I lived in Spain in the 70’s. This particular KZbin post (video) is missing a few more pieces, one of which had Paco playing solo. Too bad this video doesn’t show him playing solo. It was excellent. What happened? This whole show had a major influence on my guitar playing. Especially John’s Porkpie hat.

[@romaneberle]

lol. they're so ridiculously good. thanks for the upload! 🙂 the full version (?) includes at least one more, very long piece, "meeting of the sprits" (which is also the title of the DVD i have), and there's also an even longer audio version on YT. (maybe not the same night, but same tour, i guess.)

Was there as a student for an incredible show! Thanks for posting.

[@tonisarria4614]

Muchísimas gracias, Nicolás. Mi caso es como el de Juan Andrés, lo tenía en cassette y llevo años (ahora décadas) detrás de él. En TVE no lo venden ni lo facilitan aunque lo tienen... una pena. Hoy he visto el documental La busqueda y he visto un par de fragmentos de ese día en el Pabellón de Deportes de Madrid. Ha sido lo que me ha hecho rebuscarlo y he dado con tu aporte. Ya podrían reprogramarlo porque es un documento único, para mí el mejor concierto que los tres hicieron de los que quedó registro sonoro o de vídeo, incluso mejor que el disco que grabaron con Di Meola. En su momento, en los años 90, contacté con el representante de Paco y le pasé copia en audio porque ellos tampoco tenían copia. Ojalá a alguien se le encienda la luz y lo vuelvan a emitir!!!!!! Entero! Lo dicho, muy pero que muy agradecido por el aporte! Pf, si alguien lo localiza entero, que lo comparta!

[@nicolasradovcic]

Nicolás Gomez También estoy de acuerdo. Es una pena que haya tanto material y no se nos facilite habiendo tantos fanáticos. Deberíamos hacer un llamado desde distintos lugares del mundo para que se editen conciertos como el de Solo duo trío o el aranjuez en mejor calidad y duración real. Por ejemplo de esa gira hicieron muchas obras de repertorio clásico de compositores como Falla y Albéniz, y sólo han puesto lo más conocido. Me gustaría también que sacaran a la venta alguna versión del Friday night con las actuaciones de los tres, o conciertos de Paco cuando era joven. Todo eso lo tienen guardado!!

Y tb falta la última: "Good Morning of the Carnaval", que la presenta John McLaughlin, que es la famosa "Manha de Carnaval" de Luis Bonfá.

[@donbarredora2992]

¡Genial aporte! ¡gracias por compartirlo!

[@nicksobekmusic]

This is a much better showing from Coryell than the "Meeting Of The Spirits" show. In that one, he seems outclassed by John and Paco. This video needs more Paco though.

[@GuitarMaster2410]

Falta un detalle: la actuación en solitario de Paco de Lucía, que salió entre Larry Coryell y John McLaughlin y tocó unas Bulerías. Aqui, de Coryell salta a McLaughlin,

[@nickdrake5611]

Efectivamente, Juan Andrés. He llegado a este video buscando precisamente esas bulerías (quizás conozcas su nombre, si es que se trata de un tema único y no un popurrí, algo habitual tratándose de Paco). Lo raro es que "Los Conciertos de Popgrama" de TVE (la carátula aparece por un instante al inicio del clip) sí que la incluyó, por tanto debe tratarse de una edición a posteriori; tal vez alguien decidió eliminar la parte flamenca pura del concierto, en mi opinión muy desatinadamente. "Manha de Carnaval" (que mencionas más arriba) y otros temas ciertamente los tocaron en esa gira, aunque éstos no aparecieron en el programa de TVE, que lo recortó a una hora de duración total, aproximadamente. Como dato anecdótico, TVE subtituló "Chanela" como "Tres Amigos", mientras otras fuentes la citan como "Tres Hermanos". Un saludo.

Estuve ahí ¡Qué pasada! recuerdo que el concierto era en una plaza de toros y estaba llena hasta la bandera. Tomé un avión desde Tenerife a Madrid expresamnte para asistir a éste concierto. A la semana siguiente tenia un examen de fin de carrera.. ¡y me encontre al profe en la calle de Madrid! me preguntó: ¿Como llevas la preparación del examen? Le contesté: ...afinando detalles... ¿como acaba la historia?.. Aprobé con honores

7:40 Se oye un lejano "Gracias", que dice Paco de Lucía. 22:58 "Bueno, ahora mi amigo Lorenzo y yo os vamos a tocar unas improvisaciones.... Entre dos aguas".

[@leoosiku]

This was the original trio! Saw them in Paris. Larry and John played some jazz at these concerts that mixed well with the flamenco. too bad Larry had major drug problems at the time. Would love to see Larry and John play together again before they get too old.

[@sinane.y]

well, hate it to break it to you but...

[@nickdrake5611]

They all really got along, particularly Paco & John, who chased Paco in the first place for these marvellous ventures. And no doubt those good vibes made the music flow (even better). When ADM took the turn, it wasn't the same anymore. The reasons are well documented by the guys themselves.

[@bholaoates1542]

Yeah, they could have done some more fantastic things if they had gotten together again. I still enjoy listening to their work together on Larry's "Spaces" album from 1969 with Chick Corea, Miroslav Vitous and Billy Cobham. Incidentally, I had heard about Larry's drug problems. As I was watching the video (before reading any comments), when Larry would leave the stage I was thinking to myself "There he goes to get some backstage blow". R.I.P. Larry, and Paco too.

[@JohanVanStarrex-qt1yz]

McLaughlin said he preferred playing with Larry Coryell because Coryell had more feeling in his playing than Di Meola. Unfortunately Coyell had pulled out of The Guitar Trio by the time they toured Australia and he was relpaced by Di Meola .This tour was supported by Steve Morse playing an acoustic set. However Di Meola did not travel together with McLaughlin and Delucia and it was rumoured that there was Di Meola threw a tantrum before embarking on the tour and that Steve Morse was a back up in case Di Meola pulled out of the tour.

[@GuitarMaster2410]

Hay un curioso detalle. En este concierto, el único que se sienta con la pierna cruzada es Paco. Años después también la cruzaría McLaughlin, como se puede ver en vídeos más actuales.

[@AlexBunardzic]

This series of performances were the last time McLaughlin played steel string acoustic guitar. As soon as Larry left the trio and Al Dimeola joined, McLaughlin switched to nylon string acoustic guitar, and somehow with that change he also lost some (or most?) of the magic in his playing. This period (guitar trio in 1979) catches McLaughlin at the very peak of his performing power. He never managed to recapture that magnificent force of guitar playing ever since. But thank goodness it was documented for posterity in these amazing videos.

[@firstlast4874]

+Alex Bunardzic "He never managed to recapture that magnificent force of guitar playing ever since". You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how crazy it is. You're probably aware that he plays more than just acoustic, right? Or that he played acoustic in John McLaughlin Trio?

[@AlexBunardzic]

+First Last As far as I know, he never played acoustic steel string guitar after he switched to nylon strings in 1980.

[@firstlast4874]

+Alex Bunardzic Actually, the part of your comment I was referring to was "[h]e never managed to recapture that magnificent force of guitar playing ever since." Good luck trying to find someone to agree that his playing for the last 35 years was never as good - or as forceful, or magnificent - as before that

[@AlexBunardzic]

+First Last Why on earth would I try to find someone who agrees with that?

[@firstlast4874]

+Alex Bunardzic Good point. It would be a waste of time. Because nobody who knows McLaughlin's work would

A mí tampoco me gusta mucho Coryell, pero como solista. Creo que es un gran jazzista. ¿Viste el dúo en este video con John McLaughlin? Personalmente el único dúo que me gusta es el de Paco con John. Tampoco me gusta mucho la combinación Paco y Al Di Meola, sí la de Al con John. Creo que todo va en la complementariedad

[@sumtin05698]

bro Larry Coryell was an innovator like an OG innovator, he taught us what fusion guitar could be and just because there are cleaner players today who have gotten to study all of the music that’s been produced in the last 100 years on their iphones anywhere for free anytime they want, i don’t think it’s fair to compare them to yourself or players today because everything they did was groundbreaking and new at the time they did it and i’m sure if you grew up when they did you wouldn’t be better than Larry Coryell or even close for that matter because you would be waiting for every new album to come out to show you you these techniques which he along with the other people on the stage invented, you need to realize before these guys nobody played like this in the jazz world
