^ Wow! Stealing the show from McLaughlin and Di Meola is a real achievement. It must´ve been quite a performance.

In a different league, I think the most famous acoustic guitarist that I´ve seen live was Stefan Grossman. He used to give occasional guitar workshops in the "Function Room" of a hotel that was only two blocks from my apartment. Before each song he would explain about the key, the tuning and the capo(?). For such an accomplished player, the attendence was pretty sparse, but very reverential. You could hear a pin drop throughout his performance.
