Esquire Samaire Armstrong

tones too many

The three gifted guitarist Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meloa and John McLaughlin have almost thirty years with the live Album "Friday Night in San Francisco "not only set a standard.

First, this production on LP and MC, and from 1991 as remastered CD more than two million have been times sold, which will remain unique for a live album with acoustic guitar music.

Second, the audiophile gimmick was so driven to extremes, which seem the three guitar players in the panorama sit stereo miles apart Hi-Fi on all

And third, the three musicians a squalid styles influenced. We speak of "Friday Night San Francisco syndrome.

It grated on strings and scratched, beaten to instruments, musical crashed in an uncontrolled pace, Musicians are hunted, there is too much and played too fast. The music is neither interaction nor dialogue (or trialogue), but a heady, heated debate without a lot of sense and style.

is a sizeable percentage of the charm of the live recording of San Francisco the involvement of the audience, which cheered the arena for the corrida and the musicians to Torreros high. A festival of superlatives, no doubt.

This has eaten into the cerebral cortex of most musicians. Us amateurs teaches again and again, should we make music on the urge to demonstrate our skills. But seasoned men break in the last third of concerts regularly, the flight Křižík forward and play to the bullfight Music in the bloody sands of the arena is and the audience hoots and forgets what it has paid.

can Worse it not be hoped for in such a moment but then musical quotations, including the beautiful "Pink Panther Theme" by Henry Mancini, the "James Bond Theme" by John Barry or Migros club school blues riffs played disjointed and the audience to sing along or called upon rhythmic clapping.

As I break away, unfortunately ... the voltage of each concert, then reaches a low point for my feelings and I feel miserable.
