Recorded at the Warfield Theatre on December 5, 1980 and released in 1981, the album brought Di Meola's jazz-fusion precision, McLaughlin's restless cross-genre approach and de Lucía's flamenco brilliance into the same acoustic setting. Its reputation has endured partly because it opened de Lucía's playing to a much wider international audience beyond Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat still stands out is how little this feels like a polite all-star summit. The long, fast-moving interplay on \u003cem\u003eMediterranean Sundance \/ Rio Ancho\u003c\/em\u003e is the obvious centrepiece, but the record works just as well when the three players shift from competition to conversation, whether on the witty turns of \u003cem\u003eShort Tales Of The Black Forest\u003c\/em\u003e or the more lyrical close of \u003cem\u003eGuardian Angel\u003c\/em\u003e. With only five performances, it keeps the focus tightly on touch, timing and sheer ensemble spark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition also helps explain why the album keeps returning to vinyl. The 2025 Music On Vinyl pressing presents the set as a limited run of 1000 individually numbered copies, giving a durable live favourite a distinctive collectible edition rather than just another catalogue repress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g, Music On Vinyl, Purple Vinyl, Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited to 1000 individually numbered copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe sleeve with linen laminate finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paco-de-lucia-vinyl-records\"\u003ePaco De Lucía\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/al-di-meola-vinyl-records\"\u003eAl Di Meola\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/john-mclaughlin-vinyl-records\"\u003eJohn McLaughlin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/columbia-records-record-label\"\u003eColumbia\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/buy-music-on-vinyl-records-online-label\"\u003eMusic On Vinyl\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_europe\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/latin-jazz\"\u003eLatin Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paco+De+Luc%C3%ADa,+Al+Di+Meola,+John+McLaughlin+Mediterranean+Sundance+\/+Rio+Ancho\"\u003eMediterranean Sundance \/ Rio Ancho\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paco+De+Luc%C3%ADa,+Al+Di+Meola,+John+McLaughlin+Short+Tales+Of+The+Black+Forest\"\u003eShort Tales Of The Black Forest\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paco+De+Luc%C3%ADa,+Al+Di+Meola,+John+McLaughlin+Frevo+Rasgado\"\u003eFrevo Rasgado\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paco+De+Luc%C3%ADa,+Al+Di+Meola,+John+McLaughlin+Fantasia+Suite\"\u003eFantasia Suite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paco+De+Luc%C3%ADa,+Al+Di+Meola,+John+McLaughlin+Guardian+Angel\"\u003eGuardian Angel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Columbia, Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50617144082497,"sku":"5325979","price":58.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/john-mclaughlin-al-dimeola-and-paco-de-lucia-friday-night-in-san_v0E7gB9.webp?v=1791246911","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/al-di-meola-john-mclaughlin-paco-de-lucia-friday-night-in-san-francisco-387771","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
