All you guys have GOT to get one of the GO albums, the live in Paris one is out on cd now (I think the two studio albums are out together as well, not sure though)...a great bunch of songs, including greats like Klaus Schultz (Tangerine Dream), Steve Winwood, and more...and there are some great solos from DiMeola there to be experienced!]]> Sat, 19 Nov 2005 23:04:51 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14469&PID=1751606#1751606 Al Di Meola : Originally posted by Single... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14469&PID=1750904#1750904 Author: Greg H.

My favorite 3 are Land of the Midnight Sun, Casino and Elegant Gypsy.

Oh yeah! I saw him in concert following the release of "Casino" (1978). He was amazing! The 3 you listed are at the top, for sure. These followed his departure of Chick Corea's Return to Forever.

"Splendido Hotel" was in that time frame, too. Good stuff!!

Interesting thing is; he opened for, "Renaissance". Another one of my favorite groups from that era. And; all time, for that matter. Annie Haslam is wonderful!!

I definetely felt DiMeola's guitar style became more melodic over theyears. His earlier albums, though classics, I felt were kind ofstagnant but still awesome. He solidified his own guitar style.]]> Sat, 19 Nov 2005 03:53:51 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14469&PID=1750398#1750398 Al Di Meola : My favorite 3 are Land of the... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14469&PID=1746839#1746839 Author: Single Coil

My favorite 3 are Land of the Midnight Sun, Casino and Elegant Gypsy. Also, he has a 2 CD Anthology that has a pretty good cross section of music.

Some of his acoustic stuff obviously influenced Petrucci & Rudess on their "Evening with..." CD.

I just picked up Land of the Midnight Sun at a thrift store recently. I recognized his name from Return to Forever, so I decided to take a chance and get it. I'm glad I did, it's amazing.]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:06:12 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14469&PID=1746821#1746821 Al Di Meola : but seriously, he is an incredible... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14469&PID=1745049#1745049 Author: ThisWas
