Oh. Yay! ^_^

I was just actually playing around with "Mediterranean Sundance."

Might be something to go to, and an excuse to buy a bunch more of his newer albums.

 

[Soundscape]

damn..wonder if he'll make a trip to Minneapolis..i've always/needed to see him, even if he doesn't do the electric-Al material anymore.

I used to live in Mpls. He's been at the fine Line a number of times. The kind of venue where you'll never hear about it unless you call them and ask...

Metal fans not familiar with Di Meola - check out his older live album, early 80's??
'Race With The Devil On Spanish Highway'.... and other killer stuff.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Yeah, maybe for the more metal fans I'd recommend things like that. He was a famous jazz fusion guy. Basically it means pick any of your favorite metal guitarists, and he can outshred and outthink them. His electric stuff is pretty nice, but personally I really hate the guitar tone. I'm about to buy his 'The Grande Passion: World Sinfonia' album, and it sounds absolutely phenominal. More guitar music with some orchestra, that actually UTILIZES the orchestra.

[gregory2112]

Must be nice. I wish more people would hit our area. *sigh* Oh, well. Atleast Queensryche is playing here in a few days.

 

[MysticX9]

Check out Cielo Y Terra for some really creative acoustic stuff.

I'm going to have to try to make it, haven't seen Di Meola in years...

 

[dargormudshark]

No houston date
