Wow the perfect drummer!

Mind blowing energy and musicianship. God, do I miss Allan. Virgil and Jimmy are killing it!! Love ya Virgil! Huge fan.

I've seen Allan and the boys so many times since 1989. Always the best, and always an intimate show since it's not for everybody.

Holy Shit, amazing stuff! RIP Allan. Virgil is the greatest drummer of our time. incredible!!

Jimmy Haslip is a great bass player. I have seen him live with a number of musicians and he has never failed to impress me. just great talent.

Haslip sounds great in this context. I've heard him for years with the Yellowjackets. Nice to hear him in another burning context.

Whaaa Donati and Holdsworth played together!?!? Thank you universe! So wonderful!!

Thanks for the reminder..... Virgil, you are absolutely one of the best!

R.I.P Sir Allan Holdsworth, one of the best !

I love this. Virgil brings in a fresh approach. I love the way Allan uses various drummers. Love Chad, Vinnie, Gary, et al but I think Virgil is pretty fucking amazing here.

Friggin incredible polyrhythms! The light touch and finesse wow

I love Allan Holdsworth, Virgil Donati yay! Jimmy Haslip too :D

I cannot say this is the best bassist that AH has had in a trio but...easily the best recording of any of his bassists. Very easy to hear what he is doing

from this excerpts from the classic songs I feel that it grooves completely different with Virgil, i agree with some posters about him trying to play counter rythms to much while comping solos. but it´s refreshing, different, he doesnt use the ride cymbal that much while comping and has more of a rock vibe than a jazz approach, it´s original !!! this guys are certainly three monsters of their instruments.

Seeing these guys tonight! Super excited!!

Virgil ...brought new energy to the Holdsworth sound.....along with Jimi. Would have wished for Virgil to have been with Alan allot longer.......if their was a redo universe button.

Had the pleasure of seeing & hearing Allan's work from Jean Luc Ponty's 1977 Enigmatic Ocean tour, Phenomenal Guitarist, Eddie Van Halens Fave guitarist besides himself!

So glad I've seen these three lads live. R.i.p. Allan...

I have been following Virgil since 12 years ago... Man you gotta check all his work Jazz/Fussion is only one style of all that he plays. He plays Heavy, rock, progessive. He also is an incredible pianist. He has devoted his life to music.

Yeah, Virgil gets underneath Allans music in a very involved way that is so complimentary yet subtle. Too bad we didn't get more of this collaboration before Allan's all-to-early departure.

Beautiful.

RIP the incomparable Allan.... lucky all of you that got the chance to play with the master...

I know Virgil recently switched to DW but damn, those Pearls just sound SO nice!

Virgil rocks this material! i'm a big Husband fan, but I love this guy as well!

WOW!!! Virgil is blowing my mind...thank you to the max!!!

Love the drumming perfect for this band, and Alan’s sound in this vid

And, of course I have always loved Jimmy Haslip. I first heard him on the Gino Vanelli Brother to Brother tour.

12:20 I was zoning out listening to this and this part came out of nowhere, love that ambience

Virgil is the great musician. So strong technique and intelligent interacts with so diferent kind of musics but Chad was born to play with Allan. Haslip is so intense in this job. So good. And Allan Holdsworth is the last top of the music. The way he plays and understand music is not from this world. Beautiful and free perfomance. Thanks.

Oh! My God ! this is good !Allan Holdsworth is the bes!t!! and that bass player is great!!

Very inspired, pulsing bass work from Jimmy Haslip, also. His playing seemed more subdued when the trio first started; he's really dialed in here. Magnificent trio work.

I’m not gonna lie, a lot of these views are definitely from me. Not sure how many, but definitely a lot. Thank you for sharing, this is stunning work

Audio quality is better than listening to a record! Wonderful performances. I've never heard Jimmy's tone so dialed in.

Another great artist I never got to see, and now never will.

RIP A.H. Big loss for Music.

Thanks, this sounds amazing. Don't know much about the drummer Virgil, But Jimmy & Allan sounds great together. Three world class musicians.

This is an incredible treat to see.. Thank you for posting

Those drums are perfectly tuned and mic'd. Virgil is amazing.

pretty cool to watch you playing with Holdsworth man... may his music live on forever.. it really was from the future i feel like he was wayyy ahead of his time.

Love these uploads,thank you very much Virgil!

Virgil Donati. Playing magnificently in his 60's..my god!

Absolutely stunning!!

Damn those drums sound perfect great tone from everyone

Mr Donati you are my idol. Thank you so much for these new videos. Your talent and dedication come through every second you play and even when your not playing. You have inspired me since day one!

amazing !!

Yeah, I am a musician but not a drummer but I love the way Virgil counter punches and comes back at you for his sense of timing is awesome. Love jazz fusion!

I love a staggered beat , this guy can sustain it and keep it together in his own way, truly gifted.

I had the privilege and honor to see this Allan's tour here in Toronto Canada...o my god, I have no word to express how much I miss him, thanks so much for the posting

Stunning!

Monster drumming...outstanding

I will always miss Alan, he really was one of the best that there ever was and influenced more people then you could know.....I was lucky enough t see him live several times in NYC.....RIP Alan :-(

Great collaboration here!

Very nice concert and the set is very famous!!!... I love the work they made to arrange and adapte all composition of Holdsworth and Tony Williams... Yeah!!! the music is excellent. I love this band : beautiful music.... Holdsworth with his 66 years old, he still surprises me again, and again, and more....

Thank you so much for this video!

Three masters, all in their own little worlds, yet coming together in symbiosis. Amazing.

incredible guitar player ever ! just speechless !

Thank you for that ! VIRGIL DONATI = fantastic drummer ! ..watched the 2012 show in berlin at Quasimodo.. GREAT

Got to be drummers dream to play with Holdsworth.

This really is some of the most incredible music being made today. WE NEED AN ALBUM!!!!

Jimmy Haslip.....Wonderful phrasing...

Completely espetacular!!!

Im feeling you Virgil. thank you for the Inspiritation and the Excellence!

hoping for more videos like these!! thank u virgil!!!!

Wow, this is awesome. Great drummer!! and Allan is as good as always.

thanks for the upload , great to hear a few newer renditions of some older tunes , and I dont mind hearing a few different band-mates . I don't mind the diversity although like everyone I have my favorite combinations of players as well . Regardless who is your favorite drummer , ... what a list he has played with . Loved It !

super nice!!!.... incredible audio....

The amazing thing about Virgil is that no matter what kind of drums you got in front of him he always sounds like Virgil. Ever since he switched from Pearl to DW he still sounds pretty much the same. The sound comes from the player and not the gear. Of course good gear helps to make sure you sound like you should, but in the hands of the Masters they Will sound like the individual playing them. Great video

I totally agree with you @jamesedwardtheobald , that s exactly what I notices always when I listen to Virgil, he gets in the song and builds his fills in harmony with the rest. Brilliant guy!

Wow! Artistry. So much talent on this planet.

So good I could cry

Great to See, Awesome Drumming Virgil

Son unos genios!! Felicitaciones desde Mar del Plata, Argentina

amazing

Very nice work.

Greatest bass player I have ever heard.. Love Jimmy

this live has something special. maybe the fact every single interpretation was outstanding.. damn that texas & proto cosmos

Espectacular.

Beast-mode line up...RIP Allan.

love it !!!

Geil geil geil... thank you, nice video, vielen Dank!

super......love his sound

Virgil's playing is so good here. :)

it must be over 20 years (or close to it) I remember standing in the front bar of the Corner Hotel, watching the support act of Virgil Donati and Jack Jones (aka the Comaheads [sorry Virgil if i got it wrong] was the name of memory) then followed by the amazing brilliant Alan Holdsworth. Now sitting in front of the PC and watching Virgil playing drums for Alan. my favourite drummer and guitarist together making me wish this was the Corner Hotel (Richmond, Victoria, Australia) watching this. thank you for making such wonderful Music and a drumming style I would sell my soul for to play like that. PS Virgil Do you still have the White Sonor from the old GrainStore Days ?? (lol) I remember talking to you at the Corner Hotel gig asking that question and you offered me drum lessons at the time (I wish i could go back in time and slap my self silly and took up your offer lol )

Great ! Very inspiring...

Just the best of the best.

awesome

Wonderful

The girl in front is my dream girl ! That's a rare sight ! Great video Virgil! Thank you and thank the band for this :)

Un univers musical unique que créé Allan Holdsworth depuis de nombreuses années...Avec ses deux nouveaux musiciens que j'adore depuis également de nombreuses années , nous assistons à une formidable expérience artistique.

great performance

Mestre Allan holdsworth!!!

excellent!

Virgil inspired me to give up the drums. He also inspired me to take them back up again.

monsters band so heavy!!!!

Wow!!!!!!!

Virgil best drummer ever🎼🎵🎶

outstanding

A really nice chemistry has developed between Holdsworth and Virgil. It wasn't near this tight or creative in videos from several months previous ... really special stuff here.

❤❤❤

I can't agree more!
