Thank you for sharing this footage. Was such a great honor to get to know Allan back in the '80s. Every time I now play or hear his music...this enjoyment and sadness hits me at the same time. There will never be another like Allan...so inventive, unique, original. R.I.P. Allan.
Thanks for all the posts of Allan's video. I just discovered Allan's music this year. Sadly he is no longer here. I also see the same people in the comments section. Which tells me how small the Allan is God community is. I've been binging on these videos night and day for the past two weeks. I disagree with people who say you need to understand music to like his music. I have no idea about any of the theory behind his music. To me they are just amazing sonic textures which move me deeply. Nothing else matters. RIP Allan. Hope you can finally play all that you hear in your head in heaven.
@Gerry Berry I agree; I have seen people who have no jazz or fusion listening experience, totally knocked out by his obvious genius upon being lucky enough to have someone like me drag them to a show! It's unbearably sad that the "as good as it gets" concert experience of Allan is only a memory and films and recordings now! There is nothing to match the thrill of watching and hearing the great beast rip through a set live-glorious genius!
HI Lisa - ofcourse -a player like you, know my mentor and hero,- He is sorely missed,- by all of us ,-🍏🌹(im sorry for the weird crossing out of text ! It does this sometimes, and i dont have a clue ,why !?- I love your music,and grandMaster Allan´s music, ofcourse )
Allan outAllaned himself on this one. Agree with every word you wrote. Oh, and I recently discovered you Lisa. You are awesome on a whole different level.
aucun mots pour décrire la richesse des émotions lorsque j écoute du Allan , une perte immense ........ , je remercie le ciel d avoir pu le voir en concert a plusieurs reprises , que dire ......tu nous manques terriblement Allan , R I P
In your experience with Allan how real was the Dunning Kruger effect? This is the greatest musician I have ever witnessed. How did he feel about himself? Was he aware of his prowess but humble? Was he arrogant and put up a facade of humility? Was he truly displeased with his abilities and always looking to improve? I’m just curious about the mind of such a giant
The Best looking glass EVER - FLYING!!! Sphere and Brew are great too, but this looking glass, man, it plays in my dreams... Cool guitar too, the Mesa's are a little round for my taste but who cares?
are there any clips anywhere where he plays stuff off Secrets.I saw him in Nottingham on that tour but didnt know the songs as bought the album at the gig
A pity about the grainy vhs (handheld maybe a Panasonic)camera video though he who-ever caught Allen at his best and we see his plectrum finger picking alternations just a small glimpse on his genius technique
Most incredible musician Ive ever had the privilege of discovering. Thank you for everything Allan
Never get tired of Alan. Such a profound artist.
Audience is in total silence anticipating the start of the music. So much so you'd think the room was empty. That's how good he was.
One of the best live solos of LOOKING GLASS ever !

I had the bitter emotion that his music is mostly for musicians and i am happy to read a comment like yours. Be well.

I love Atavachron so much, I named my first son after it.
So great to have a live version of Sphere Of Innocence- my favorite Holdsworth track!
Oh YES - what a stellar rendering of "Sphere of Innocence" - im having problems, holding back my tears ......
W.O.U. Grandmaster Allan,-
My God, Sphere of Innocence is so good. One of my personal favorites.
Hi Bella! Don't you love that its called innocence but once you hear it all innocence is lost? I too think it is devastatingly beautiful.

@@maxxkarmathank you! 🖤🙏🏻
What a gift from God that us guitarist in this world have been able to understand how truly great this man was
This is ungodly good.
00:40 - Looking Glass
09:35 - Sphere of Innocence
18:19 - Non-Brewed Condiment
Sphere is one Allans best and most beautiful songs! Killer video!
This is fucking beautiful what a brilliant master guitarist your spirit lives through those who understood your extreme complex playing 🙏🏼Thank you.

tu as raison c est toujours les guignols qui restent
Loved Allan with Mesa Boogie
And Music Man Amps back in 1982
Magnifique !
Amazing Allan
🐐
this is so friction' awesome. thank you
Read where he modified all his amps, sometimes w/in minutes of a gig!
alien music from alien composer e musician..
I think this is Gary Husband on Drums,
Steve Hunt on Keys with Dave Carpenter
on Bass.
Amazing !!!
Was a great friend of mine

rare video. thx !
Is that Chad on drums? He's fierce man.
F*ck*ng amazing
Gary Husband on Non-Brewed Condiment kicks serious ass. YeeHaw!
Beautiful, Mesmerizing. I guess these chaps are "Joel", "Steve" and "Ernest" ??
amazing clean tone here
Amazing sweets delaps custom
Escucharlo interpretar es casi como oír directamente lo que esta ocurriendo en su cerebro.
The Best looking glass EVER - FLYING!!! Sphere and Brew are great too, but this looking glass, man, it plays in my dreams... Cool guitar too, the Mesa's are a little round for my taste but who cares?
The second song is "Sphere of Innocence".
It's a shame the recording isn't a little clearer. A nice song titled "Looking Glass". Thanks much for the post.
Its any wonder you never see people covering sphere of innocence, or trying to get through those changes.

The third song is "Non-Brewed Condiment".
I will give up to 5 (of my neighbour's) internal organs to own this guitar.
So the tone is so amazing it hurts.... How is that supposed to work
read where he modded his amps..
its Allan - he was not from around here,-
Did you record all these amazing holdsworth videos yourself?
are there any clips anywhere where he plays stuff off Secrets.I saw him in Nottingham on that tour but didnt know the songs as bought the album at the gig
Who's the drummer and bassist on this set?
"Alien" Holdsworth
What gear did Allan use? It sounds very thick, and dense.
anyone knows what is that kind of box above the racks of allan?
maxitrane it's his harness, a limiter for the amp
A pity about the grainy vhs (handheld maybe a Panasonic)camera video though he who-ever caught Allen at his best
and we see his plectrum finger picking alternations just a small glimpse on his genius technique
cellphones didn't exist in 1991
@@mezzafinook you might well be right and it is very grainy let's change it to handheld canon or fuji vhs
I don't get. Unless one of the necks is a twelve string or maybe one of them are tuned differently. I wonder?
The top guitar is set to play his chord tone.
The bottom is set to play his lead tone.
At 2:01 he turns up the vol on the bottom and plays lead.
The top neck is probably a baritone guitar, namely a longer scale length.
the top neck is tuned in fifths.
Tuned in Fifths
@Michael Cherubini top neck tuned in fifths bottom neck is standard tuning both are stratocaster scale length 25.5 also each have 24 frets
