I'm an Al fan, but I absolutely agree with you. He is talented, but I've never heard him play with emotion. And his compositions -- although maybe complex has no relation for to the listener.

Proof that virtuosity is not a substitute for music.

And I won't even mention the worst guitarist of all yngvey malmsteen (or however you spell it). What a joke that guy is... but he's fast lol
McLaughlin, De Lucia & Coryell DVD is called "Meeting of the Spirits" about an hour long. It's a "Region 0" DVD & has about 20 various company names all over it making it impossible to tell just who put it out. The front cover was assembled by someone who thought it would look pretty but obviously not a guitarist as 3 matching Martin-looking steel string acoustics fram individual pics of John and Larry playing big hollow-body jazz electrics.

The performance is from Spain I believe and is really lovely and the quality is OK. I found it on eBay where I bet a search under "mclaughlin coryell" for DVDs would find it.

Coryell doesn't have the speed or precision of Dimeola, but he's at the same level as the other two players and has an emotional core that makes for some really lovely moments. The other guys have a good night too and the audience is very appreciative as well. If I had a DVD burner I'd burn you a copy.
I suggest getting an album called ''Touchstone'' featuring Paco de Lucia, John Mclaughlin, Alan White and Chick Corea among others........it's simply breath taking !!!

Rgds,
It's good, but. It's kind of an exercise in speed up and down the scale. I get bored after awhile
