Best Guitar CD Recording

I suggest this album by: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco De Lucia - "Friday Night in San Francisco" (Live).

(FYI, this is a incredibly well reviewed and recorded album. It is a standard Audiophile selection actually. But still a good pick nonetheless.)

BTW: Really, really nice on vinyl!

The essence of Al Di Meola on Columbia CK52920. Amazingly well recorded. And "Jazz Samba" Getz Stan/Charlie Byrd on DCC.

Kurt-Tank,

Thank you for the correction, I postd it as Friday....It is Saturday! Great disk either way!

Friday Night in San Fransisco on :
- CD standard edition is good
- SBM version on CD is even better
- SACD is amazing
- on 180gm Vinyl is heaven !!!!

Beware: These recommendations are based on performance and not on sound quality. The problem here is if you are not into vinyl it would be hard for me to say what the CD's would glean as I don't posses them. Sorry.

A great acoustic rock performance was Alice in chains -Jar of flies

Most Ry Cooder albums including -Paradise and Lunch, Mambo Sinuendo, A Meeting by the River, & Buena Vista Social Club.

Most Richard Thomson records including -The Old Kit Bag.

Pentangle -Sweet Child, Basket of Light, & Cruel Sister.

Most Micheal Hedges records including -Aerial Boundaries.

Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love, etc...

Neil Young & Crazy Horse including -Ragged Glory

Happy Listening!
