This recording came out just a little over a month before this original group split up. Three albums defining the beginning of jazz/fusion/electric band. This live recording captures the magic of the crowd as well as the intricate interplay between the players. No recording can fully capture the power and intensity of this group live. But, it does bring back memories and with an excellent stereo system, come close. The Mahavishnu Orchestra taught me to 'listen' to music with full attention. Truly good music should receive this respect, not used as a background to mundane life.
GREAT JAZZ FUSION MIX. JOHN Mc GLOUGHLIN IS UNREAL & BILLY COBHAM IS AN UNBELIEVABLE DRUMMER.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Simply put...the BEST "fusion rock" album ever. Jon McClaughlin wails fast riffs. Jan Hammer keys fast riffs. Billy Cobham plays a gong. ...and the rest.
