Tom Verlaine...Tom Verlaine... wow, I did not see that coming. Great pick that one! As are all of the above in their own right.
My first come to mind favs always seem to be Metheny "Amelia" live from Shadows and Light, and Gilmore "Shine on You Crazy Diamond".
Suppose I would also offer up Frank Zappa - Variation On The Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression, John McLaughlin with Mahavishnu Orchestra "Meeting of the Spirits", Al DiMeola "Race With The Devil on a Spanish Hwy".
Tom Verlaine....wow
Maybe we should be having a Vinyl Fest or something just like it.
