This retro pressing of the legendary live album "Friday Night in San Francisco" was released in 1983 on the East German label AMIGA and captures the unique moment of three guitar virtuosos. Recorded in 1980 at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco , the album showcases the breathtaking joy of playing and technical brilliance of Al Di Meola , John McLaughlin , and Paco de Lucía . A masterpiece of acoustic fusion, where jazz, flamenco, and world music meet in perfect balance.
The vinyl is in very good condition (VG+ to EX) – glossy, with only minimal surface marks that do not affect the sound. The cover shows slight signs of wear , primarily edge scuffing and small creases, but remains sound and visually appealing.
Historical background: Originally released in 1981 on Columbia, this album is considered one of the most important works of acoustic guitar music. The interplay of the three musicians exemplifies the virtuosity and cultural exchange of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The AMIGA pressing is a special historical document that shows how international jazz and fusion music circulated even behind the Iron Curtain.
