Monsters' Orchestra

rEvolution Orchestra

This band changed my life ……. It was the gateway drug to mainstream jazz for me

So good to be reminded that Jan once played real keys/ synth, probing, investigating, pushing like Paul Bley at the same period. Sadly like many great pianists, he degenerated to playing the ironing board and bullshit followed.

BEFORE pushing the envelope was even a thing!!!!

Never listened to Mr. Dimeola even though I've been hearing about him my whole life. He is very clean and precise, and imo more interesting than Zappa, so far, only my 2nd song into his repertoire, 1st being Chasin' the Voodoo. I love a lot of Zappa's stuff but it does get boring. Peace!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I SOOOOOO AGREE with ALL the Comments about AL ! But I've seen much better, from Big D.

Otro grande entre los grandes, Larry, y tanto que lo conocía. Lo descubrí en la búsqueda de paco...

Непревзойдённый Пако!

I didn't know Bill Hicks was so good at guitar.

Just incredible! Ty for posting

Let only music rule the world fans & let it sound just this good 🎉❤🎉

I also did a piece of my own callef Impressions Of India on my first recording.. the Shakti influence has never become silent in my playing..thanks John.

I was lucky enough to be Working at a record store..snd the rep for mahavishnu gave me a Gibson poster of John in Full profile with the Gibson double neck.That Was in the Birds of Fire days and that photo is the back of the album. Still have it.😊

This is so much more fun and better than the record! WOW!

Eternally mesmerising! Just wonderful songwriting and performance!

The true definition of music…

ギター史に残すべき演奏です。これを人々が観る機会があまりに少ないのです。人間は退化ししつつあります。

Any one know what sort of microphone that is at 2:01 in front of Cobham's kit??

4:00

3:35

Billy Cobham is like, "Try to keep up, dudes."

Was at this show when Al came through Denver back in 78. Was blown away by the drummer, Chuck Burgi, who nailed all of of Lenny White's parts on this album as well as Steve Gadd's - an incredibly hard task. Turns out that Chuck here, is a native of New Jersey just like Al. As well, he has been Billy Joel's drummer since 2011. He just killed it at this show in Denver as well.

EAR-GASM......😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Fire in the Day. Epic Then. Iconic Now.

Dejo mi testimonio : mas de mil veces habre oido este tema y siempre con el mismo sentimiento de estar oyendo algo nuevo . es increible !!! Todo el grupo es de otra galaxia con John McLaughlin a la cabeza ( TREMENDO GUITARRRRRRISTA ).Dentro de muchos años , se hablara de ellos como ahora hablamos de la transicion entre el Barroco y el Clasicismo .Ellos fueron el inicio de otra grandiosa epoca de la musica , Jazz progresivo .... etc SIento que son como mis hermanos ...

my BBC in concert !

Al DiMeola is LEGEND!

Magnífico!

This is on my desert island list, for sure.

What a wicked track wow

Still the greatest OG Fusion band ever, imho. Always pushing boundaries.

rip Rick Laird.

Remember seeing them in the 70s at knebworth

Sound of the Start of this reminds of when spinal tap briefly turned jazz fusion

Just makes you laugh I awe of how great this band was

AMAZING

I think if john practiced more he would have a nice career

Jerry Goodman is my 1980s girlfriend Jenny's cousin. He hated me because I didn't know anything about Mahavishnu Orchestra... and because I was schtuping his cousin. Hi, Jerry. Jen and I both dug your album.

Filthy song. Ultra drama. Wicked tempos. Killer palm muted technique. The legendary Al Di Meola in his youthful prime. Seeing this live twice changed me forever..

The Jedi Master of Palm muted guitar solos. This technique is still Under represented in the Pantheon of thousands of " Mongolian String Benders"* * FZ definition of speed guitar shred fucks

I was about 12yrs old I was stunned never heard anything remotely like this.... Billy Cobham....John Mclaughlin.....a 2 headed Guitar....on a black and white mono TV ......so much for the senses to bear.... long live ABC, Don Kirshner and 70s rock.

This is where Meshuggah got their lead guitars...

The first concert i ever attended was Mahavishnu in Princeton,New Jersey when i was a freshman in high school. What a game changer this band was. 1973

Miles Davis is where all the good fusion bands got started. Check out In A Silent Way.

never was a big fan of this group. They were all excellent players. I just didn't care for their genre.

Wow not seen or heard this before what a warrior the word cosmic comes to mind phew

My eternal guiding light of the guitar…..John Ji!
