I interviewed guitar great Al Di Meola for the Guitar World iNquirer feature in 2000 when he had just released The Grande Passion (Telarc), an acoustic tribute to tango master Astor Piazzolla.
50 years ago I saw him play with Return to Forever at a concert at Colgate University. They opened for Fleetwood Mac, who had just added Buckingham and Nicks. I still remember how amazing he was .Of course with Chick Corea, Stanley Clark, and Lenny White how could you not be?!

What an amazing show to have attended.
Good read,I haven't followed Al D. in decades, but remember jamming on old Columbia titles,Elegant Gypsy, etc.
I always respected and admired him as a guitarist
Yeah. Both things can be true. I mean, there’s a big difference between Albert King and a grunge guitarist.
