Wow - This is proof that in terms of pure virtuosity of every member, Mahavishnu were arguably the greatest band of all time.. and that includes rock, fusion, jazz and all other genres.
I went to college locally and was there at this concert in Buffalo in 1973 and it knocked my socks off.
The music was so tight and totally on another level than anything I had heard before. The band were all dressed in white as I recall and JM played a white double 12 & 6 string guitar. No fancy stage tricks or light shows, just the most amazing music that I'd ever heard and I've been a fan ever since...
The greatest band in the universe.
Incredible performance - mind blown! I saw them in Oct. 72 at Buffalo State - Woah !!!!1
Jerry Goodman! Taking both the music and his instrument to new levels. 🙏🏻
I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1973 opening up for Santana on the Caravanserai Tour.! A phenomenal concert.!!
Saw this incarnation of the band several times, I am blessed.
I saw them once in 1973, i saw the quartet without violin in 1975, and i saw Shakti 3 times in 76 and 77 !
They are on fire. 'Dawn' is awesome.
Rick Laird is so impressive on this show. By the way this is a great concert and the sound is very clear, thank you. I got this years ago from Wolfgang's Vault.
I 1st saw this incredible band on "In Concert" , a late friday nite music show in the early 70's and have been a fan ever since. I have EVERY Billy Cobham album since Spectrum.
JAZZ - whoever you are - have enriched the universe - and my life with this. Thank you and blessings to you. One Word - Rick Laird - oh boy, he's taking the rest of the band by the hand and taking them to some very very strange places. Great to be in a band where everyone has the freedom to express without inhibitions and trust each other to not mess up, or to know how to get out of a mess up lol (been in one or two interesting bands with focus on improv and "feeling it"). If I were in this band, and not entirely trusting the universe that night, I'd be throwing one or two worried glances at Rick thinking "oh gawd what's he doing and where is he taking us" 😆 MUSIC IS MORE FUN WHEN YOU'RE FLYING BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS
I don't believe John could have pulled these compositions off without Billy. . .to a degree.
Not sure what the two audio complaints are about-listening on cheap head phones plugged into a studio monitor and I can hear the bass just fine, the drums are in stereo, and it sounds great!!! Thank you for posting this!!!
You're welcome! Keep following to our channel!
SMH I don't know what they're doing here. They're here because they love MO, right? But if they love MO enough to want to check out a live gig...don't they already know that 90 percent of the bootleg live recordings are pretty gnarly, a lot of them borderline unlistenable...? This top ten tier recording quality. And, the icing on the cake is...it's a fun performance, truly spectacular and other worldly at times. WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE////?? smh ..bloody audiophiles, they don't love music, they prefer to...dunno...have their earlobes caressed by hookers while reading what hi fi magazine probably
I saw M O in the summer of 1971 playing on the Boston Common. My ears have still not recovered! The ground was throbbing it was so freaking LOUD!
Yes, me too..was a great show..
I was there...Logins and Messina were nice, normal, had a recorder duet, then a LONG wait and this conspiracy from planet Venus starts to play and people were agog at the virtuosity especially BC's drum solo. The party favors passed down might have contributed...
@@jonathanwobesky9507 Yes indeed, from Venus or from another galaxy. I couldn't believe that they were really human the music was so freaking intense.
@@blankfrancine I was retracing the memory, this was before or just as innermountingFlame came out, but I read a review in the Globe that knew JM's resume with Miles (my guru at that age 15) and the bus stopped next to the common. I heard some chords and melodies that suggested Venus specifically. melodically ascending triplet arpeggios.
John was playing through two 200 watt Marshall heads - to quite a guy who was there "McLaughlin had TWO Marshall Major 200watt heads and four stacks. 32 speakers? CRANKED in a 800 seat theater." Just for him, everyone else was like the nuclear armageddon amp collection.
Saw the Mahavishnu on their UK 73 Tour Newcastle Upon Tyne UK when I was 15,with a couple mates... just fucking blew my head!! Thanks for sharing 👍
1973 War Memorial Auditorium Nashville Tennessee opening band was Marshall Tucker
one of their best
Thanks for this..really liked this band, saw them live in Boston in 1971..
Thank you too for following us!
McLaughlin was the leader but he had a pretty strong band, too!
Great, Man!
Thanks for this, really!!
Our pleasure!
Among the many Mahavishnu bootleg/soundboard recordings that have (thank heaven) appeared on this platform in recent years, this one captures a particularly outstanding performance. Yes, the drum sound is not perfect, but the overall mix is very clear. Listen through a decent pair of headphones.
Thanks for listening
The other great one that comes to mind is "Wild Strings" - it's a soundboard recording that was supposed to come out as an actual legit release (everyone in the band signed off on it) but it never came out. The guy announces the concert sounds like Mr. Rogers "We're going to hear some real good music kids!" and the band comes out like a bomb exploding and John's first solo is so fierce and energetic you find yourself holding your breath. Explosive power these guys had in massive quantities.
What a fantastic Performance
Glad you like it! Keep following to our channel!
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!! Amen
I was there !!! thanks for this ..
Our pleasure! Keep following to our channel!
This is a channel made of GOLD!!❤
Thanks for following us 💖
enfin du vrai bon son, merci
What an incredible find. I never saw them live. This is probably the nearest one could get. I still feel that John wasn't at his best in this band. Later, he seemed to develop a much more fluent and devastating technique - and a clearer sound.
producers at the time were urging him to cover other peoples music rather than this stuff he wrote
And those producers were crazy.
This is a most excellent detour from the days doldrums !
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JazzCubePlus He was breaking fusion barriers .
Thank you Jazz3+. Anyway it's strange to feel today that this music is locked in an old-fashioned harmonic box. That is not the case with Miles' music which is much more open and varied.
Thank you too for following us!
@@JazzCubePlus 🤍
MO was the most rock oriented and powerful band in the fusion movement then. Still an extension of what Miles was into at the time, as well as Zawinul and Shorter.
@@raymondkarlsson9794 Yep indeed we certainly can say that and JML is of course one of the greatest musicien and composer, he has done amazing things with the 4th dimension too.
tryna get back to my roots
Dance of Maya? ..... are you freaking kidding me?? .... Volcanic Virtuosity.
Yea, its insane!
OH. Mclaughlin said at 01.06.55 presenning a piece from - My new album, our new album. 🫤 oops!
No dam sass
The audio is too low! Is it the recording, my device or something else?
I'm on a bluetooth speaker. Sounds fine to me. Try some different methods, streaming can be tricky sonic alchemy
Interesting to hear a concert version of the thrilling Birds of Fire album, or at least of One Word. IMO the album version is much tighter and, independently of that, the recording seems almost entirely without bass. Overall, the music sounds "tinny", and Billy's drumming sounds more like a cat scratching on a tin roof than his customary full audio spectrum magnificence. I'm assuming that this is a bootleg recording and if so I'm glad that someone had the motivation and presence of mind to go out there armed with nothing but a tape recorder.
Having got that off my chest, thanks for sending anyway!! 👍
I'm on a bluetooth speaker, sounds pretty decent. I for one love the manic live energy. I appreciate not having enough folks around to chat fusion jazz with tho
There are quite a few live performances of Birds Of Fire and One Word. The more of this band you discover, the less interested you will be in comparing performances. I've found that people have echoed my thoughts that the album versions are like sketches/templates/demoes of the live performances that reflect the magic of the occasion, the tremendous energy flow between musicians and audience and...something else... The album versions seem almost embryonic after listening to these musicians in full flight. The studio version of Birds of Fire is consistently tight, yes. In the studio, the priority is getting the track down, then doing the next one, and doing it all in time so everyone can get home to the wife. Live performance is a very different entity. The ecstasy of everything coming together great on a magic night used to lead the guys in the band to play faster (interestingly, same thing used to happen to that other awesome band - The Beatles). The band feel more free to express. The music has far more dynamic range than what they could play in the comparatively claustrophobic and sterile studio. The intensity is right up there, often it's like walking a tightrope or standing on the edge of a precipice. Sometimes things feel like they're about to fall apart, then somehow it pulls itself together, often with the most spectacular and exciting results. The degree of "tightness" can vary many times within the one piece of music! It is ebb and flow.
I've been playing live for 34 years with various musicians, in UK with English musicians, India with Indian and Egypt ditto..the music is different but the underlying communication is the SAME. That communication does not come as easily at 9 in the morning in a sterile recording studio as it does at a thrilling event, walking onto stage in front of an audience that is ready to share joy with you. That is where the music takes on new mysterious life and takes us to the newest and strangest places.
Lastly, really...if you don't like the quality of this recording then you'll hate more than 90 percent of the other bootleg MO stuff lol. It's pretty gnarly, most of it, and like all music, requires setting aside prejudice, to catch glimpse of any emerald beyond, sir. The Between Nothingness album is great quality hi fi wise, but not the most inspired performance. There are recordings out there that sound like mud...just awful...like the microphone was wrapped in a sack of moldy pullovers then submerged in pond water. Even I can't listen for more than ten minutes..and it's always same feeling of what a shame...damn...because underneath all that murk...you can tell there's something incredible going on.
It's one of life's little unfairnesses.
@@Fretlessness Heck, Jake. Amongst the hundred or so bootleg MO gigs, this one is in the top ten, recording quality wise. And what fabulous luck - it's a cracking performance too. Happy happy days. No mistake about that.
@@uberbeast113 Thanks for all that heartfelt commentary, Uberbeast!! 👍👍
