Recorded at Karuizawa Prince Hotel’s Open Air, Nagano, Japan June 1, 1986 as British guitarist JEFF BECK had safely secured his spot in rock history. His unique style has been described as a combination of Jimmy Page’s innovation, Eric Clapton’s taste, and Jimi Hendrix’s vision. Johnny Carson asked Eddie van Halen in his Tonight Show: “What is it like to be the greatest guitarist on Earth?” Eddie’s answer: “Go ask STEVE LUKATHER.” CARLOS SANTANA is arguably the one guitarist whose play even untrained listeners can easily recognize. He’s a wizard on the guitar, a global star and one of the musicians whose names are synonymous with the bands they form, Since he started his brilliant career in the 1960s, Santana has combined Mexican mariachi and other Latin rhythms with blues, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. He’s also considered one of the early protagonists of “world music.”
At the 1986 Nagano Open Air, the three guitar heroes jammed with the touring band of Jeff Beck, who was promoting his album “Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop” in Japan at the time.
