Al Di Meola - Cruise to the Edge - Theater - full show

Recorded in the Theater on the Mariner of the Seas during Cruise to the Edge 2022.

I've never been a HUGE fan, but he's always been on my radar. In the 80's I had the Elegant Gypsy album on vinyl, and I was blown away by Mediterranean Sunset! I really enjoyed this performance, and his stories! (No, I didn't record the other performance)

If anyone has an issue with this being available, please let me know!

Tuesday May 3rd 2022 while on our way from Port Canaveral to Labadee (Haiti).

I am NOT a professional. I recorded these shows because I am a fan of the music and want to help the bands gain popularity. Not everyone can afford to be on these cruises. But that doesn't mean we can't spread the enjoyment beyond the ship!

If you like listening to Al Di Meola SUPPORT HIM and please buy their music and/or merch!

I started out filing both Al, and the percussionist. Afterwards, I changed my mind and focussed more on just Al.

I didn't do any close-ups because
#1: when zoomed in on something/someone, you may miss something else going on on stage.
#2: it would require more attention to the camera. I wanted to enjoy the show

Great video. Thank you for uploading. I also saw the 1990 World Sinfonia tour, it was awesome. Al is best acoustically in small venues, and man does he kill it.

The coolest guy on the planet Just amazing.

I think Al is getting better as he gets older. As it should be.

I'm as impressed with Al's "Sight Reading" as I am his guitar playing.

It was great! Now I have it, and can see it 24 hr a day.thanks you!

Toda la riqueza de sus experiencias con Paco de Lucia o John McLaughing reflejadas en la gran madurez de un guitarrista excepcional, que ha dejado la guitarra acustica a un lado para pasarse a la guitarra española.

Thank you so much!!! Been a fan since the 70s. Got to see him tour his first solo album. He opened for Santana. Got to see the World Sinfonia a few times and finally Return to Forever in 2008. I am fortunate. Just found out he is playing here in Rhode Island in September. Hope tix don’t sell out too quick. It is a small venue.

@38:15 - ok, you uploaded Stu Hamm doing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, now Al DiMeola is doing Strawberry Fields. Interesting all these old legends playing tributes to all their own heroes. Al does some Chick Corea in this set too. I am not a huge Al DiMeola fan, but I saw his acoustic set around 1990 with two percussionists (Gumbi Ortiz and Arto ... some Turkish name I can’t remember), and occasional acoustic guitar from Chris Carrington, and that acoustic show was hypnotic. Mesmerizing. Hands down one of my favorite concerts ever. Al is far more chatty here, but always flawless playing from this master. Thank you again for uploading these music cruise videos for us desert dwelling land lubbers.

I wonder about his gear what is that first guitar he plays?

Really good recording! I hope Al and his record company allows it to stay up!
