About
One of the definitive live albums of the fusion era, <i>Friday Night in San Francisco</i> i, ironically, all acoustic, and the crowd greets Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucía pretty much like rock star. This was the trio’s second incarnation, in fact: McLaughlin and de Lucía started out with Larry Coryell in a unit billed as Meeting of the Spirit, but by the time of this concert in December 1980, Di Meola, formerly with Chick Corea’s Return to Forever, had come on board. Much of the repertoire was known to fans of Di Meola’s solo output: “Mediterranean Sundance” from <i>Elegant Gypsy</i>, “Fantasia Suite” from <i>Casino</i>, and “Short Tales of the Black Forest,” a Corea composition from Di Meola’s 1976 debut, <i>Land of the Midnight Sun</i>, performed as a duet with the piano great himself. Here it is McLaughlin in Corea’s place, prompting playful “Pink Panther” quotations and a rousing blues-rock detour. .
