Al Di Meola Project
Netherlands
1987

I couldn't find much info on this one.
It could be Utrecht and possibly 1988 or either or neither.
Slightly ropey mp3s but it has some positives.
All the instruments are clear and well mixed.
I saw a version of 'the Project' in 1985.































Note: middle of the front row!
Al was making some amazing sounds with his guitar.
He played through what looked to me like a stack-unit Hi-Fi system
that could make the notes sound like flute/voice etc.
Synclavier if you are into tech.
They had an amazing percussionist who, at one point,
walked around the stage playing a giant drum
which he wore utilising a leather harness.
I think it was Airto Moreira?
On the back cover Al is offended by my 'rainbow-notes'
and is about to draw his sword.
