Allan Holdsworth was a British Fusion/Prog Rock guitarist who in his almost six decades long career released numerous solo studio and live albums, and contributed to bands including Soft Machine, The New Tony Williams Lifetime, and Level 42. Through his use of highly advanced harmonic and melodic concepts, he truly stretched the limits of the instrument, inspiring many of the world’s greatest players such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, John Frusciante, and Tom Morello. It’s safe to say Holdsworth is in fact your favourite guitarist’s favourite guitarist.
In 2006 and 2007 Holdsworth embarked on a tour through U.S. and Europe with keyboardist Alan Pasqua, Jimmy Haslip and Chad Wackerman. On September 29 and 30, 2006 they played four concerts at Yoshi’s in Oakland, California and the full performance was captured by independent film maker Eric Dorris on HD video and multitrack audio.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this wonderful show and of course Allan‘s talent, we are releasing the full Saturday show on vinyl for the first time ever, beautifully remastered by the Grammy Award-winning engineer Rich Breen. The 4xLP set contains both Saturday shows in its entirety and while there seems to be quite some overlap between the sets, none of the tunes sound alike due to the band’s unique improvisational prowess. You are cordially invited to witness this yourself, in the comfort of your own living room.
