Dynamic!
. The music on this record would be great on the any format but with the clarity and dynamic range of the SACD you can really appreciate the virtuosity of these three players.


Amazing performances and sound!


The first time I tried to listen to this recording, I had to stop after the first cut, "Mediterranean Sundance/Rio Ancho. This SACD is one of my favorites. " I was literally breathless from the experience! DiMeola and DeLucia sounded like they were in my living room (I love SACD!), and playing like they had never done before. Every time I listen, I am breathless, and sit listening with a big smile on my face.

The rest of the SACD is equally amazing, with great performances by McLaughlin (one of my all-time favorites), DeLucia and DiMeola.

The sound quality on this SACD is wonderful, and the performances really bring out the best in this format. Many of my live SACDs don't really do justice to the performance, but "Friday Night" is highly recommended as an example of how wonderful an SACD can sound.

sacd and dvd audio whole new world
I realise most people are clueless to what all this is but when I play it for them they marvel. Dito to everything I read. I aggree the industry should know the difference and at least give us the imformation we need to decide on our purchaces. I'm selling CD's left and write to make way for more sa and dvd audio. If the idiots writng the reviews are this stupid I am available and would increase sales so much the corperate winnies would pee themselves.


Gorgeous Recording with Playful Musicians
These gentlemen truly understand the music and their improvisational skills are fantastic, as they're able to play along with each other and the audience, the latter which seems to be thouroughly ecstatic. Undoubtedly one of my favorite recordings in SACD format, I only wish there was video as well, because it would be great. Unfortunately this is not a hybrid recording, which means if you want to transfer it to a portable device or play it in your car, it requires tremendous effort.


Stereo SACD, not Multichannel!
My review is mostly based on the fact that this is a stereo SACD, not multichannel. This is a great performance. I am learning more about SACD every day, but was very disappointed that it is only presented in stereo.
