Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco De Lucía - Saturday Night In San Francisco - Impex SACD

Audiophile Hybrid SACD

The long-awaited follow-up to Friday Night In San Francisco, this release captures the explosively virtuosic final performance of Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía, recorded live at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco on December 6, 1980. Assembled from hours of original 16-track live session tapes, it presents these never-before-released solos and trios with striking clarity and dynamics. Impex worked closely with Di Meola, mixing engineer Roy Hendrickson and mastering engineer Bernie Grundman to recreate the magic of the original concert.
