That's a 'disaster orchestra' nothing left from "Inner Mounting Flame" I couldn't liste more then 2 min 35 sec

Sounds more like WR than MO.

Դա այս հին վայրի աշխարհի առաջարկներն էին > ապրել, կիսվել, զբաղեցնել, զվարճանալ և միասին ապրել: Ցավոք, մենք այնքան կենտրոնացած ենք եղել ժամանակների փոփոխության վրա, որ ժամանակ կամ գիտակցություն չենք ունեցել ինքնակազմակերպվելու, բայց ոգին դեռ կա

I was there in 1971 in Woolse hall . I was there with my first girlfriend Lee it was the best. I still remember John on that duel neck guitar

Excellent 👏 👏 👏 👏

Pas ma période préférée.

❤ fantastique musique

I play the bass guitar. At least that's what I call it. How can you play a guitar with three broken fingers on one hand and two broken fingers and a broken wrist on the other?Anyway I always watch the bass player and focus on his/her performance.Helborg is incredible in this lineup. You can hear every note he plays. A rarity! You can tell Miles Davis's influence from the start as each musician darts in and out from the main melody.

John McLaughlin had to be an aspiring shredder's worst nightmare come to life !!!###

This is a pale shadow of its first 2 incarnations.

Anyone know what kind of guitar that white one was that John was playing ?

40 years later and still packs a hell of a punch. What a sound!

When John comes in for his first lead his guitar is smoking! That tone ! Sharp as a knife.

First track is good, after Synclavier killed whole Mahavishnu sound (with help of saxophone). God bless Mahavishnu from 70'tys.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Это не Mahavishnu Orchestra. MO - это трое гениальных музыкантов, убежавших от посредственного гитариста в 1973, возомнившего себя их хозяином. Теперь он более-менее научился строгать, выпиливать, сверлить, набирает себе в свиту талантливых музыкантов. И всех называет своей кличкой "Mahavishnu". И вся слава снова достаётся ему, любимому. Данный коллектив безусловно прекрасен. Вполне мог обойтись без этого "гитариста". Правильно размазал его великий Frank Zappa ещё в 1973.

I was in Rotterdam for this concert. Jonas had hair on one side and none at the other. He played amazing. Broke a string on his bass on a Hendrix cover. Milos Forman also superb!. Oh man....was it with Cobham in Rotterdam?

I saw this tour at Festival Hall London. Already a big McLaughlin fan he walked on with a wireless guitar and played incredibly. It’s interesting here how much the material divides opinion. I feel if you replay and really listen you get it. 72 would not have made sense in 84. Everything had changed. Beautiful tunes and let’s here it for Jonas. Stunning musician.

take a decade to mahavishnu to turn in wheater report

I SAW THIS TOUR IN CLEVELAND OHIO!!! OMG!!!

Musicians ? please !

Pure shit.

Прекрасно, кайф... Браво!

ЗдОрово! Махавишну, это пять!!! Браво, Махавишну и банде!

Somewhere around 1980 it went wrong. Too much whining synth pop and a complete lack of ethnic instruments and Asian influence IMHO.

This sounds more like a tame Weather Report than Mahavishnu.

I worked in a steel mill where cats got tortured and metal beams crashed and clanked and fat union workers farted that sounded just like this concert.

Not the Maha Era I like at all !!!! 😣

❤ First l got record in 1973. Incredible ❤

sequencer is going, but drummer has no headphones/click.

Radio-Activity is cookin'! ☢📻👍

The Mahavishnu Orchestra had a very distinctive sound that was more or less preserved, altho a little bit more produced/clinical, in its second iteration with Jean Luc Ponty and Narada Michael Walden but this, as great as it is, ain't that sound

is that jaco?

I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra in Nice France in 1979....Billy Cobham on drums, Jeff Berlin on Bass, John Mac Laughlin on Guitar....

Yeah, it's Danny Gottlieb here, of course. I was listening to swiss radio station DRS that day, when they broadcast that show live. They promoted this exclusive broadcast already weeks before as "Premiere of Mahavishnu with Billy Cobham" (by the way, this band incarnation was just named Mahavishnu - not Orchestra). Then, about 1 hour before the show the radio announcer came up with some "important latest news". "Due to unknown circumstances Billy Cobham is not playing tonight. He will be replaced by former Pat Metheny drummer Danny Gottlieb. But the saddest thing about it is, that Warner Brothers changed their mind by only allowing the first 30 minutes to be broadcast", said the announcer. I mean these were really big events back then. When Weather Report was on tour in the mid 70ties, they were featured in the evening news! At least here in Europe. Those times are gone forever. Back to Mahavishnu. Billy once said that John even didn't fire him. He just didn't hear from John anymore at some point and was wondering what happened. On the other hand, there were rumors that he wanted an outrageously high fee. Maybe that's why he didn't hear from John anymore, who knows? But God thanks they shared stage again later.

Muy buenos musicos las visiones una maravilla

Extraterrestrials- Not humans at all. Line-Up1971-1973 with Jerry Goodman (violin) & Billy Cobham (drums), even better, although seems difficult to believe. RÄ.

The first two Mahavishnu Orchestra incarnations were stupendous. This is horrible elevator music.

The Miles code 😉

OMG I saw this in 1984 ar theatre Saint-Denis in Montreal. It completely blew my mind. Great thanks for letting me relive that incredible show.

I saw this tour in 84 in Houston, Texas on a Sunday evening at the Music Hall.! And that same afternoon we saw the Stanley Clarke Band at Fitzgerald’s.! On the “Find Out “ tour.! His band was a 4 piece group that featured 2 women.! One on drums and the other on keyboards.!! Sorry but I can’t remember their names.! But what a great day and evening of music.!! Those were the days.! Thanks for posting.!

First time even heard of John was from Jack Johnson in Art class when we were in either Jr high or high school. The doors and hendrix and led zepplin was screaming and then we heard Jack Johnson by Miles and while our dads were all hip to it we we learned and tried to tell them what was him. funny now when I think how smart we werent :D. Saw John Luc Ponte once. What a fabulous concert, I have a crazy story about that too..

I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report and Santana on a 4th of July in Cleveland in like 76? Man was that a killer show! I still think John is the fastest guitarist ever. Man was the fusion scene so delicious back in the 70's. :D

\0/ \o/ \0/ Demais! (brasil)

Mahavishnu was my band from early-mid teens, I’m a wee Scots wummin from Glesca now in early 60’s so not typical at time, early/mid 70s. I think now that McLaughlin was more style than soul but loved all the instrumentation around his guitar virtuoso. Getting back in touch with IMF, birds of fire etc. after all these years. Billy Cobham still the best but under-rated drummer evvah!

Amazing! Then & now!

So nice music 💪
