re: Best guitarist to ever walk this earth?

I envy you. This wasn’t too long after Friday Night In San Francisco, which still ranks in my all time favorite recordings. I’ve seen both McLaughlin and DiMeola individually (the DiMeola show was actually a pretty small intimate venue in Houston when I lived there and was very close to the timeframe you mentioned. Any clue where that might have been?)Beautiful energy...one of those rare music experiences where you wish you could make time stand still. But I’d always, always wanted to see them together.
