There is probably nobody who is enthusiastic about guitar music who does not know the legendary and often re-released album "Friday Night in San Francisoco". Three guitar virtuosos play live and with stunning acoustic qualities. What hardly anyone knew: There were two more concerts with the same line-up on the following Saturday, which were also recorded, but where an almost completely different set was played. Still in 1980, a master was created from the two concerts with countless cuts, but it was never released It was Al Di Meola's management that remembered that this tape still existed, but disappointment was soon to set in. The master had not been stored well and was actually unfit for use. At least the producer of Impex Records from the USA did not want to be disappointed by this. The heard was simply too good despite everything and one thing was immediately clear: Saturday night was once again better than the legendary Friday. Instead of using the original master, they went back to the analog 16-track recordings of the actual concerts. These were not in great shape either, but could be reprocessed at Skywalker Sound in Marine County, California. Then the task was to generate a mix from the two concerts again with the even more perfect beats and for this Katsu Naito & Roy Hendrickson were hired. The former had already done the cuts for Friday Night and still knew quite well what he had paid attention to more than 40 years ago. Here again Al di Meola was the driving force. The perfectionist simply doesn't like mistakes, while John McLauglin sees it more as part of the live atmosphere.
