I recall seeing Al in early 70’s, the No Mystery tour, @ Carnegie Hall. When they played the title song, everyone plays a solo but Al got a standing ovation. Shows people have class. He played that ovation like, well, say, the way a lover pleases their partner. Sweet
It's so nice to see John and Al in this setting. It seems at this moment that forgot about the problems that were going on and even managed to smile at each other. These guys will probably never play together as the trio again.
he keeps it in his guitar where the chords are fixed, I may be wrong but I seen many guitar players doing that, and remember these videos are somewhat edited
Can you explain what happened? I'm very interested in hearing about that because I could always tell there was tension between Al and John and this goes way back to the days of the live San Fran album but I never read any definitive material on that or ever heard either of the musicians say anything bad about the other. It's very interesting, though. Please do tell.
al was not a cool guy and he had bad words about john 's playing ( and paco ) course and as a result he played slowler than this fans was expected to hear him played ( sorry i m french )
3Ellipse No worries I understand fine. Votre Englais est tres bien. :) Can I ask you where you heard of that? Was it published in some kind of literature or newspaper or something because I can't find anything anywhere and I've been looking. I know Paco and John were always joking around especially during the press conferences and during interviews while Al was always very serious and maybe that had something to do with it. But I find it hard to believe that Al would say something bad about Paco's, or even John's playing for that matter. These are musicians of the highest order, one would think they have nothing but the utmost respect for one another.
