[@PhilipCockram]

One of my favorite songs . Brilliant .

[@andrivs1]

John Mclaughlin! 80 years! Incredible!

[@uev-tv9960]

... not 80 yet - but incredible indeed 🤩

Saw these guys play this in Sydney over 40 years ago. A revelation. I wish I could experience being there all over again. Thanks for posting.

[@anzantudert4447]

Good old days, thank you for sharing this magical moment that will never be forgotten. RIP Paco Thank you for making it happen Mr Meola

[@alexanderdimitrov9045]

Really, If i knew about this show, I would travel to Madrid to see it. I saw the Trio in 1996 and it was truly a fantastic night! Great to see the Paco's family tradition continued with his nephew.

[@PhilipCockram]

Sending well wishes for a speedy recovery . 🙏🏻 You've inspired myself and millions with your amazing talent and music . Blessings to you Sir .

[@yuriyorgen]

Thank you so much for your music and your talent!

[@GabrieleCKunz]

How sad, that Paco de Lucia can't play with you again. I had the best concert ever with you three. So I'm very happy about this tribute!!

[@haroonpatel2556]

Amazing,these fine gentlemen can easily make history again👍

[@GiuseppeDelfinoGuitar]

Bellissimo omaggio al grande Paco, sentire John e Al assieme dopo cosi tanto tempo è una grande emozione. Grazie.

[@miguellauandos1902]

Al, I wanted to thank you for all the great years you have given me through your music. I am 52 but I love the late 70's. I am obsessed with your first 3 albums, absolutely amazing music, thank you I know you did one instructional video but it's so advanced. I beg and plead that you do a masterclass lesson or course. One to really learn how to play from beginner to advanced. You are different from the rest and I really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@fcamiola]

Amazing! An interesting "human" moment at 0:34 :)

[@johnleonard3806]

Excellent. I'm so happy you had this tribute.

[@kimsiciliaofficial]

Buahhhhhhh Antonio como una metralleta! Que brutalidad de guitarrista! Buuuahhhh! Estas a tope! Paco es Paco, pero si alguien se le acerca en sonido y velocidad y compás en la rítmica eres tú. Brutal! Que gustazo.

[@aramrochert2025]

Um dos melhores discos dos anos 80 em uma justa homenagem.

[@bluesdoc]

Masterpiece!!! Paco is happy right now!!!! Thanks for sharing!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@RiffageWorkshop]

Gutted i missed this, what a fantastic tribute. Heres to hoping the three of them tour in honour of Paco one day soon!

Quels tempéraments !!👏🙏🧑‍🎤

[@rubenacosta9772]

Thanks fellas for playing in his honor! Paco was a unique talent.

[@wm.scottpappert9869]

Great tribute to one of greatest flamenco players of all time ...

[@al_mohib]

I grow up with this song, i will do a cover for it and i hope you will like it Al, thank you so much for everytime you play it ❤️

[@duendesinmas1977]

Buen homenaje al más grande. Muy bien Antonio, mejorando como supuse, nunca dudé de ello. Y John con 80😱😱 y cómo sigue tocando, admirable!!!

R.I.P Paco ! Aldi meola was there too

[@dalinandi844]

Al plz create some short lesson content like your thoughts on improvising....or about composing

[@kevinlreynolds]

Beyond incredible!

Der Ton dieser Aufnahme hier ist leider nicht gut genug für den Anlass - und was waren das für Zeiten früher!

ジョンマクラフリンが地中海の舞踏弾いてるの初めて見たかも！

[@luchohuiscalen1724]

Esta mejorando Antonio Sanchez, creo que se esta animando a tocar mas suelto.

[@JavSpain]

Nice missing Paco…

[@manduker]

Siempre he percibido que Al y John nunca se han llevado del todo bien...

[@lmark1337]

a mi también me da esa sensación... 🤷‍♂️ pero aquí una presentación muy divertida de los dos 🔥🔥🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqq4l397bbCrfa8

[@luchohuiscalen2234]

Es un trabajo,... no están tocando por placer, ademas los dos tienen una edad avanzada. Con los años tenes poca paciencia.

[@ville2917]

no esta a compas muy mal

[@blackarrow9072]

John doesn't have the speed anymore but I still like his improvisations.

[@12nicky34]

Lovely to see this tribute but Is John playing a guitar from pound land or something? He's is an absolute monster player but what an awful guitar sound that is. 🤔

[@albertlaurencedimeola8899]

Thanks for the awesome write up. It always feels great to be supported by you👋.

[@rerman6344]

Absolutely incredible. And Paco's nephew, wow! Seems like John may have a secret 5db boost on his guitar this time around 🤷🏻

[@firstlast4874]

He'd need it, since egomanic Al turns his up to 11

[@rerman6344]

@@firstlast4874 have you met Al? My wife and I have. Totally by chance in the street in Chicago a couple hours before he was performing. He was out shopping on his own. He was as gracious and kind as could be. We chuckled about it later at the pre-show vip event. Anyway, regardless of personal opinions, we should all agree this was a beautiful and epic tribute.

[@firstlast4874]

@@rerman6344 I talked to Paco twice and know John. I can tell you that after/during the last Trio album, neither of them enjoyed playing with Al very much nor had any plans to work with him, despite him being a gifted player. Of course, you would not have seen the renowned ego on display while he was out shopping, as I'm sure he is a gracious and worldly guy when you meet him casually. It's kind of like an elite athlete who goes Jeykl-Hyde when they step on a sports field, court or swimming pool, after seeming so gregarious at a social event Yes, the tribute to Paco is long overdue, and hopefully we will be able to see the entire event BTW, for $10K, Al will cook you a meal at his NJ mansion, give you a full tour, etc

[@ValueAudio]

You’re all wrong about All. After an amazing show in a smaller venue, I went to see him where he was signing CDs. He was beautifully relate-able. Never spoke down to me, a mon-musician. A wonderful, engaging 1 on 1 conversation he encouraged for perhaps 10 or 15 minutes. A very friendly and warm fellow.

[@firstlast4874]

@@ValueAudio I'm happy you had a good CD-signing experience

[@ivonsmith4255]

Sad to say Johns presence there was a bit of a waste of time: hed clearly been dropped in with no chance to learn the chords and what awful guitar did they provide him with?

[@juanandresunanuelaguna6432]

De hecho, cuando tocaban con Paco, "Mediterranean sundance/Río Ancho" lo tocaban Al y Paco solos. John nunca tocó este tema.

[@castormontesquintillan6752]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3Xal6yupdecd68 McLaughlin no ha tocado en partes de la canción porque lo ha creído conveniente, está a años luz de los mediocres que lo critican.

[@juanandresunanuelaguna6432]

@@castormontesquintillan6752 Por supuesto, no critico a John McLaughlin en absoluto. Simplemente comentaba que en aquellos tiempos él no tocaba con Al y Paco este tema. Si él optó por rasguear tapando las cuerdas y hacer su solo en el momento de su turno, respeto su decisión.

[@RobertRichardsMusic]

Learn the chords? He has played that song with Al for 40 years off and on. If you watch he is playing the chords he's just trying to do something different than the others.

[@aleksik4028]

@@RobertRichardsMusic Not sure if John usually played this tune much in Guitar Trio. Al Di Meolas own album version on Elegant Gypsy is only Al and Paco and the live album has only Al and Paco playing this tune.

[@wasteddude9387]

Al Di Meola, I wish you a speedy recovery. I heard of your circumstance from Maxwell Carlisle. I first heard your music in the seventies. God can not think so little of the world, to still the passion in thy hand. Therefore, know that you will be fine. Your hands will live to dance again because surely it pleases God. So get plenty of rest and grow strong in preparation to grace the stage yet again, for it lives not, without you. God bless you, Al Di Meola. As your music does, for audiences around the world.

[@amadoguitar]

Sad to say Johns presence there was a bit of a waste of time, this attitude pasive is not a profesional.

[@glissbliss1269]

He’s 80 yrs old, man. Give him a break for fucks sake. Como sois

[@erics.6349]

John was the one who put the group together in the first place. Starting with Paco and Larry Coryell.

[@glissbliss1269]

@@erics.6349 exactly ! I can’t stand all these negative people, everything about how amazing you have to be. If it wasn’t for guys like McLaughlin you’d not even have these concerts or this music. Odio a los enterados

[@EnriqueGonzalez-ki3qz]

I’ve read that John have arthritis so he can’t play acoustic guitar the way he used to

[@glissbliss1269]

@@EnriqueGonzalez-ki3qz that’s just not true, Enrique. He had a bit of arthritis but it’s totally cleared up according to a recent interview he did. Pienso sinceramente que es el mas hábil y dinámico guitarrista de 80 años que verás en tu vida. Lo de no tocar la acústica viene de hace tiempo por lo de que es más coñazo al momento de viajar y amplificar y eso. Lo toca en el recién disco Black Light, precisamente en el tema que hizo para Paco.
