McLaughlin with Spanish guitar whiz Paco DeLucia. The result, a dazzling technical display, also earned jeers as the international summit of world-class finger-wigglers by critics who felt it was long on chops and short on heart. John McLaughlin's importance to the development of the jazz fusion scene can't be overestimated: as the guitarist on Miles Davis's seminal Bitches Brew and A Tribute to Jack Johnson, he was the first significant guitarist of the electric jazz era; on his own, he brought power rock, spiritualism, and lush orchestration to the scene via his Mahavishnu Orchestra. DiMeola, the most commercially successful next-generation fusion guitarist, achieved stardom with Chick Corea's group Return to Forever and on his own records. DeLucia, virtually unknown in the U.S., is a fine flamenco guitarist, and it is that orientation more than anything that colors Friday Night: even when playing straightforward non-flamenco compositions, the phrasing and sensibility lurks behind every note. Still, the passion of the music is frequently marred by the participants' inability to play at anything but the most breakneck pace. --Fred Goodman

Advantages: Cheap, clean and location, location, location! Disadvantages: old-fashioned, elevator from hell
'll find the so-called Tenderloin- a place where you wouldn't want to be found dead, but probably might ifyou were to walk there alone at night. Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but trust me: it is not the place to flaunt your expensive camera at night! Unless you really want to get rid of it, that is?
However, walk towards city centre and you'll be in the heart of SanFranciscoin less than 10 minutes!
First impression
The hotel looks a bit run down at first, although that might have changed by now, given the amount of construction work that was happening during my stay. Luckily, I had to get up pretty early anyway, so this didn't really bother me.
The lobby is pretty small, containing a couple of computers for free internet access. Well, that is if you are patientenough to get these boys running, as they seem to be from ...
Advantages: Got to see alot in a short space of time Disadvantages: Slightly expensive. Mostly on the bus

A short stop at Mission Dolores was next where we stopped for food. It was a Catholic mission church, which you ...
Advantages: Easy to use, comprehensive and sturdy Disadvantages: Slightly heavy
SanFrancisco is a wonderful city and before you go you really need to read up on this fantastic place. Before a recent trip I made sure to buy my handy Eyewitness Guide for SanFrancisco and Northern California.
So, let's look at it!
