I was one of many of people that when AL started experimenting with world music, I completely lost interest in his music. Until recently, I decided, after so many years, to listen to his music after the mid 80s and the only thing that I got to say is that no matter if you listen to COSMOPOLITAN LIFE, or THE GRAND PASSION with WORLD SINFONIA, Al's music is always going to have his trademark. The music covered under this DVD is from the KISS MY AXE period on forward, so don't expect anything from Elegant Gypsy or any of his Columbia Records Period. I will call Al's music as Eclectric World Music Jazz!! Which basically covers his music today!! And Whoever gave him a low rating below, I can be anything that he is not a musician. But back to this review. This is a superb performance. The Bonus Tracks include a mini guitar lesson, much better than his REH instructional and also a indepth documentary about his music and career. In order words, if you like AL DI MEOLA, should definetely own thisRead full review
When I first read this: "Return to Electric Guitar", my impression was, that Al Di Meola finaly went and started playing "electric" with FIRE. But turns out to be, yet another missleading! Very little and anemic of "boring electric" but plenty of acustic. The artistic aspect is there, no question about. No energetic electric with temperament of todays expectations though!
Great performance by Al, This was a DVD I bought only knowing I liked Al DiMeolas music. Could not have found a better concert experience of his work. Just Missed him with "Return to Forever" here. At least I can listen to this. !!!!!!!!!!!
