You can also download the 210MB 720p version.

Stevo made this clip (you can see him filming in this video, between 1:20 and 1:30) during soundcheck in Torrance last month. I play part of  The River followed by most of Prelude #3 by Villa-Lobos. The sound was captured by the little microphone in Stevo’s camera and sometimes you hear the guitar itself and sometimes you can only hear the sound of the guitar over the P.A.

I stopped playing when heard that the guitar was turned off in the P.A., a sign that Alan had finished adjusting the guitar sound. Hm, I should have finished playing the piece…

    Though I have been your friend since 1997, now I am officially your friend.:)
    It was really refreshing to see you play my favorite song ‘the river’. I am really looking forward to seeing you in Annapolis on May 5.
    Many thanks for sharing part of you.

    Thank you for clearing up the mystery that Steve was taking a video.

    At first, I thought it was a new sound check ritual:
    “For a good show, with measured steps, walk slowly and evenly, once time clockwise around Ottmar.”

    Ok, so I had a slow moment…
