Saturday Night in San Francisco (Remastered)
There is probably no one who is enthusiastic about guitar music who does not know the legendary and many times re-released album "Friday Night in San Francisco". Three guitar virtuosos play live and with stunning acoustic qualities. What hardly anyone knew: the following Saturday there were two more concerts with the same cast, which were also recorded, but at which an almost completely different set was played. In 1980, a master was created from the two concerts with countless cuts, which was never published.
It was Al Di Meola's management who remembered that the band still existed, but disappointment was soon to set in. The master had not been stored well and was actually unusable. At least the producer from Impex Records from the USA didn't want to be disappointed by this. Despite everything, what was heard was just too good and one thing was immediately clear: Saturday night was even better than the legendary Friday.
