I listen to him first time at 1979 on enigmatic ocean album of Jean luc ponty.....(it was a schok oh my Lord Jesus) & Gong group..... I deeply believe that he wasn't a simple human being... For me he was AVATAR devine incarnation he came in earth to show us a new way He's own New scales New sound New chords New soloing way I saw him in Athens 2006 giving a gig with his band... (that was my dream and it was a gift from God to see from close such amazing person...) So humble So unique God bless he's soul..
何瑞 , in fact there is almost no similarity to Coltrane in Allan's impro's. Totaly different harmonic approach. They both play fast with lots of notes but there the comparison stops.
何瑞 , ah, ok, i understand. There many out there who beleive Allan has the same harmonic approach just because they here this fast fluid lines, and that's totaly wrong.
The ending is awesome. It's always interesting to me to watch a master falter momentarily and see how they react, especially when they tank the ending of their own song. I'm sure he was mortified but to me, it was totally endearing.
You can tell he was extremely concerned with performance. Everyone has always been so impressed with Allan, except Allan. A true musician and technician (probably too much of a perfectionist). I love how he is scanning the music during his solo to root himself in the chord structure (and go way out if he wanted to). Thank you for posting this artifact of a master in time.
The end cracks me up. If i know Allan correctly he was thinking: "Thank god my dad was'nt around to witness that". I've only Seen him make a Face when the synthaxe was Teasing him but This This is just funny. Love How he handles the mistake.
It's a pitty the poor audio quality. Allan is totally kicking ass here, maybe one the best performances of this piece, which I love! Thanks for the upload anyways, it's always great to watch the maestro in full action!
Amazing as always. The riff beginning at the tail-end of @3:18 ending right before 3:23 sounds like something I actually may be able to learn...sometime...in my lifetime...what a freak!
Ese maravilloso y privilegiado oído de Allan...si no estaba conforme con el sonido,lo hacía notar al instante....¡ Eterno,Grande Allan allá arriba !....Te querremos por siempre....
I've always been fascinated by medieval attire. Seems to have an unworldly strangeness to It. It seems like what people might wear on another planet millions of light years away in another galaxy perhaps. Maybe allan was too judging by the album cover
He curls his indexfinger and presses the pick up against his hand/palm. A very common/standard thing to do. Watch @5:27 when he gets his pick ready again.
can't watch. the sound is just horrendous. pure distortion. i thought there was good audio of this concert.. i say this with sorrow as i hear ernet's amazing solo while i try to shut down this tab on my ancient and slow computer. allan never made a studio recording with ernest,. alas
