“Because” by The Beatles, performed live by Al Di Meola at the Capitol Theatre in Clearwater, Florida on January 17, 2026.
This is one of those songs where you don’t want to overthink it — you just let it sit and breathe. Al Di Meola brings a thoughtful guitar interpretation to a classic from Abbey Road, and I wanted to preserve it cleanly so fans could really hear it.
Special note: During this performance, Al shares a long, personal story about meeting Paul McCartney. I kept that story intact and moved it to the end of the video so the music itself plays uninterrupted up front.
This channel exists to preserve moments like this — for those who were there to relive it, and especially for those who couldn’t be.
