Thank God this and alot of Alans playing was recorded. Its a literal gold mine of beautiful self connecting music. What an utter genius. And so much respect to the guys that were equivalents yet we dont particularly champion their names.
@@pobinr Since I've discovered Allan I cannot listen to 99% of other music. It seems boring. Lack of puzzles, too predictable etc. He broke my world to "before" and "after". And I'm soooo thankful to him!
les 2 grands genies du 20 e siecle que je regretterai toute ma vie de n avoir pu ecouter en vrai en concert live mais you tube est la ....merci merci mille fois ....vraiment un pur delice a ecouter
Since they are not and seem to be only available here on YT as uploads , you'll have to make do listening here . BUT for AH's albums and legit releases ....you can still buy them.
Me too. At Yoshi's near San Francisco. I was there early and Allan was setting up his gears himself. I didn't want bother him so just said "Hi Allan~~". And the master, with kind big smile, "uh, hullo~". With his big eyes. Chad and Allan kept smiling to each other during the concert. RIP, Allan.
I saw this band twice. Such a great combo of geniuses. And this tune? Just WOW! Pasqua is unreal. Love him and Jimmy and Chad and of course, my biggest musical influence ever - Allan. Thanks for posting
I saw this Band! First,I listened to their rehearsal where they ran through Holdsworth repertoire for 3 hours. It was hard for me to recognize the tunes because all the Solis were new Ad Lib! Right Then I get into this really small old theater,going back to the 1940' s. and who walks out on stage but Pasqua. And he really did look rough! He had had one of those kind of nights! He was completely disheveled, hair uncombed, and shirttail hanging out. I thought he was a Roady. He sat down and started fiddling with this synth that made squeaks and squels I had never heard before! But after awhile it started to sound Real Good! Then Holdsworth walked on the stage and the battle began: sythn vs electric guitar. Pasqua was prepared and started throwing everything at Holdsworth. But Allan somehow always came back with a challenge. After 3 Hours Pasqua lays his head down on the keyboard recovering strength. After a few moments Pasqua looks up at the audience, raises his hand to Holdsworth and says, " The Great Allan Holdsworth! Standing Ovation!
This track by Allan is new to me! I once thought about making my own (metal?) cover of Coltrane's music and this exact track was the first candidate. A Love Supreme is a materpiece, but this part (the second one, if I'm not mistaken) is some kind of a message from a different dimension.
All the amazing nuances of the greatest jazz would be completely lost in a "metal cover". Might as well do JS Bach in the style of Kiss, or Van Gogh in the style of Yoko Ono; the visual Yoko, not her "music".
@@MrTarlecon you're the one that said you wanted to cover it. Now it's "rethink". That's fine but next time you want to correct somebody on their word choice, maybe make sure they weren't quoting you, because you corrected me on the word you chose. I don't doubt you could use a jazz melody or progression for the basis of a metal tune. It just wouldn't be jazz at all. The rhythmic and dynamic approach that requires close listening and attention to subtleties of all the players in jazz is pretty much the opposite of the sledgehammer athleticism of every metal genre I've ever been exposed to. But if there's some new form of metal that values subtlety, dynamics and swing, I will have to reevaluate my view. Not being a fan I can't really keep up with every sub genre. But if there's one that's compatible with jazz, I don't even know what would make it recognizable as metal.
I dont understand why they had to play a straight backbeat version, using tertiary harmony aswell, leaving the modality so closed, pasqua becomes so boring when its just Ebm9 vamping. I bet holdsworth couldve shredded so much harder in swing aswell.
I'd hardly call what Chad is laying down a "straight backbeat." This is modal jazz; you can't argue with the terms of Creation. And while Alan's solo (save for the ring modulator intro) is a little laid back, Allan's is not.
@@Snardbafulator Now its important to differentiate between modal jazz and modal fusion, its really corny to take a super hip tune like resolution and play it with straight 8s and oompa oompa swing the head to almost half time of the original. Now its awesome to rework stuff im not against it but aesthetically i personally disagree and it sounds super tacky. Allan plays awesome, of course. Modal jazz is about something more than just putting out lines in Eb dorian like Pasqua does, holdsworth understands it, but not Pasqua, course he can play and is a legend, but this was corny.
@@erlendjulieb1760 If Chad played "straight 8s," Allan would have fired him, LOL The solos in My Favorite Things are on a pedal point with the only change being from minor to major. I think you're stretching it to claim what Alan "understands." I'd agree that his solo was a little tame (especially after his bizarre introduction) but not exactly "corny," either.
@@Snardbafulator Straight 8s vs swung 8s is what im referring to. Swing vs not. And when im talking about understanding its not about what he knows or how advanced he is or anything cause hes a real good player, just what aesthetic choices he chooses to do, and how it seems he thinks about the music.
@@erlendjulieb1760"Swing" is an archaic valorization. Allan (and Alan) didn't come out of big band jazz, the era when Leonard Feather said that jazz couldn't be in any other time than 4/4 because you can only swing in 4/4, a world where even the most syrupy Tin Pan Alley tunes could be given a little rhythmic pepper. I mean, c'mon, so-called Western swing is just C&W with a marginally more elastic rhythm. In fact, you could argue that Kenny Clarke's bass drum "bombs" and the accent displacements and breakneck tempos of first-gen bebop were "anti-swing." Hell, Leonard Feather called post-bop Coltrane "anti-jazz." But sure, you have the old heads in the jazz academy (looking at you, Wynton Marsalis) attempting to essentialize swing in the name of "tradition." Which is, you know, nonsense. Jazz has always been an evolving art form. There was plenty of rhythmic interest in that interpretation of Coltrane's tune.
It is found ! the holy grail !! Allan's band doing 'trane... I am retiring to my laboratory.... f_ck...! amazing post... ! thanks !

The word genius can only be used to describe a handful of humans. It's applicable to Allan

The recording of Allan Holdsworth performing one of the songs from "A Love Supreme" holds significant historical value. Thank you very much.
I never heard any keyboard player complement Allans style so naturally other than Alan.
Kee Akage was good as well...
I agree Alan Pasqua was brilliant with Allan!
gordon beck is on a completely other level
Steve Hunt did it way better, dear! AH's Secrets - Joshua & Maid Marion !!!
@@shmuliknemanov4009 l like those recordings with Gordon Beck
Thanks so much!💚👏🏻👏🏻👋🏼👋🏼
Beautiful stuff. Pasqua's comping behind Holdsworth's solo is perfect.
If there was ever the need for two chaps to play together, it must have been Holdsworth and Coltrane.
It would be like Robert de Niro and Al Pachino in heat.
@Andy Butler Yep youre right
@@andym28 yet there isn't ONE FRAME of that movie where they're both in the same shot
Thank you for sharing such an amazing music.
I would buy this in a heartbeat. Wish more of these gems were for sale.
Since they are not and seem to be only available here on YT as uploads , you'll have to make do listening here . BUT for AH's albums and legit releases ....you can still buy them.
Unreal
Both of Allan pure magic 🍁🌈
Unfiltereddddd moves
It was a privilege to see Allan and the band on this tour - RIP Maestro.

Allan's solo is literally other-worldly and transcending.

That ring modulator preset of Alan's is tasty.
Incredible only 241 likes...rather disgusting..
Allan's playing is phenomenal to say the least.
Totally badass cover! Thanks so much for posting this!

holdsworth bootleg playlist ++

Ughh. Why can't I save this playlist??!
Tell the truth…..how guitar players listened to Jimmy Haslip all the way thru 😂
1.25 speed is grooving.
What instrument is that?
This should .never stagnate.......
