| == Duo albums and Allan as a co-leader. ==
| | Allan’s second official live album followed close on the heels of “All Night Wrong”. It was also recorded in Japan, but feature the “Hard Hat Area” band (Gary, Skuli and Steve) touring in 1990, prior to recording that album. The centerpieces of the album are the three improvised “Zones”, that Allan would regularly do in his live sets. Note that this album is credited to the "[[Allan Holdsworth Group]]". |
| These albums fall into two categories. Allan released two duo albums with Gordon Beck. Two live albums have also been released with Allan as a featured artist, credited to Holdsworth, Pasqua, Haslip and Wackerman, that are as close to solo albums as you get. The group members all have been members of Allan's solo band, and the repertoire has also been played live with Allan's solo groups to a large extent.

| | I would like to yeah! Especially with all the bootlegs. In fact, we were thinking about releasing an official bootleg record. Since there are so many bootlegs out there, we figured we might as well give the guys in the band a choice of what nights were okay as opposed to the ones which weren’t. So Gary Husband recorded some gigs with his DAT player. Some are pretty good too. I mean they’re live—that’s the thing I like about them. They’re not like the studio-live albums—in other words, you get a supposedly live album that sounds like the worst studio album you’ve heard in your life. That is definitely something I want to avoid. In fact, the microphone in the back of the room seems to be a good way to go for me. You always get that feeling of a live performance. From now on, I think we’re going to carry DAT machines around and record gigs. |
