[[File:Bluesfortony.jpg|200px]] | [[File:Bluesfortony.jpg|200px|right]]"Blues For Tony" is a live album credited to [[Holdsworth, Pasqua, Haslip, Wackerman]]. This is a recording from a 2007 gig in Germany, and not from the “Live at Yoshi's” DVD. The album was recorded at the Quasimodo in Berlin AFAIK, and I believe it was originally broadcast on radio, and then initially released as a bootleg. The band then decided to release it officially. This CD deserves more listeners, as the band grooves well together, and Allan is still in fine form. Pasqua in particular shines on this record, especially on the old tunes “Fred” and “Proto Cosmos”, plus his own hauntingly beautiful ballad “San Michele”. | ||

It wasn’t so much that, as I simply just got back together with Alan Pasqua. We hadn’t performed together since those days when we were in Tony’s group. We just thought that would be a great place to start. Even though Alan has played keyboards on some of my records as a guest soloist, we never did any live playing since then. “Blues for Tony” was originally a bootleg, and it wasn’t something that we really planned to do. But somebody else had already made a bootleg copy, and most of that was from one concert in Germany. We just decided to release the same record on our own, kind of like what Frank Zappa did with his “Beat the Boots” series of records. | It wasn’t so much that, as I simply just got back together with Alan Pasqua.
