Allan Holdsworth/Germany 2011 Jewel Version

This is a must-see live DVD of a one-hour high-definition recording of a live performance by the trio held in Leberkusen, Germany in 2011. First of all, over the past few years, the band has been rearranging the rhythm section in various ways, and each member has been developing an ensemble full of originality. Here, they perform a great rhythm combination with jazz bassist Ernest Tibbs and Chad Wackerman. Chad’s drumming, which focuses on the exact entry and the end of the rhythm with fill-ins, is particularly outstanding, and the intertwining with the guitar and bass is exquisite. In addition, Holdsworth also produces a variety of tones and phrases by making full use of the console (Magic Stomp), which he has been using frequently in recent years. Check out the destructive and transcendent guitar solo in the final song, “Letters Of Marque,” and Tibbs’ bass, which uses a lot of six-strings. This was a time when the band was showing signs of new possibilities as a trio, but after this, due to poor health, the number of live shows decreased year by year, causing fans to worry. This is a must-see video for fans, as it allows you to fully enjoy their performance when they were still in good health. Live at Leverkusen, Germany 11/02/2011 1. LEAVE THEM ON 2. FRED 3.
