Al Di Meola has returned with a tour seeing him revisit his classic period "Electric" days (Electric Rend., Casino, Spendido H., etc.) His band was smokin'. The tunes have been arranged slightly different from the original version but mostly true-to-form. The overall sound/mix was excellent, however, my only minor complaint is that the overall band volume could have been a bit louder. I can't speak to who was playing what as I don't really care all that much as long as the players are good and they all were!!! He played 2 news tunes from his upcoming album. Both were heavy electric GTR similar in vein to his classic period.
We did the meet-and-greet..
Interesting story: In the 1980 February issue of GTR Player magazine, page 113, there is an ad showing Al Di Meola playing a Fydle GTR...on the SAME PAGE is an ad for GIT (Guitar Institute of Technology) that features me.
I showed this to Al and we took a picture of Him pointing to me (2nd from left with long blond hair) and me pointing to him in the magazine...see below...
