Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version

There's only one "Friday night in SF" exact album title and it's indeed  Dimeola/Mclaughlin/Paco de Lucia legendary guitar trio. It's such a great one so it sounds great on a redbook cd as well but I wonder if it can get even better on any fancy k2/hdcd/sacd etc. media.

My SACD is superb - a hand-me-down from a co-worker.

Great album, not bad recording but should've been better. I have it on Japanese vinyl and still wish it sounded like A Handful Of Beauty by John McLaughlin with Shakti.
If you really like it you will have to try every Japanese version available.In my limited experience Japanese CDs always sound better, even regular ones let alone limited edition. I don't mean releases by audiophile companies.

SACD.

Okay, I have the Dimeola/Mclaughlin/Paco album on vinyl. Its been in my collection for many years. I hardly play it though. Yes, it has great AUDIOPHILE sound ... but the music leaves me cold. Why? Because they are all about technique and playing fast. Where's the soul??

Want to hear great guitar? Take a listen to John Williams or Julian Bream. Here's a great live album where they play together:
