is this the best guitar ever

Passion,Grace&Fire is just as good though different. It is a digital studio recording.Try to find Japanese LP of the " Friday Night..." and Japanese Direct Stream Digital red label Master Sound CD of the " Passion...". There is also DSD CD of the " Friday Night...". On Ebay you can usually find entire concerts on VHS tape or even DVD. The concert in Germany is unbelievable, especially the last hour of it. Of course, don't expect very good quality of video and audio. John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia are the most accomplished guitarists this f. world has ever seen and heard. Al Di Meola is great too, that's why they invited him.

Hey guys, if you liked Friday nigth in Sn Francisco I bet you'll like "Live in America", with Paco de Lucia and his sextet, a great album as well:

This cd shows what an amazing virtuoso guitarrist De Lucia is. Highly recommended!

Happy listening.

i will get live in america,paco is truly amazing.

After reading this thread I actually went out and got it. Quite amazing! Thanks Bigjoe for a great cd recommendation. Do they have a dvd so that I can actually watch them perform? Looked for it but had no luck.

audire ,i dont think they do but i also would love to see them, i saw al demiola before & he was amazing, guy plays the guitar like a machine gun.
