I had the privilege of seeing the Rite of Strings a few years ago. Absolutely incredible is a massive understatement. Dragged my brother out with me (huge metal head) so I wouldn't go alone despite his whining. Turned him into a believer that night. Al Dimeola I already listened to before, Jean Luc I only heard before with Zappa so that was a treat, and Stanley Clarke I only knew from Return to Forever. Stanley is God incarnate of bass and its so sad how many people don't know him. My jaw hurt leaving the show since it stayed dropped the entire time.
