In 1973 I was listening to Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire in my basement suite vis a Sansui sound system and Altec Lansing "Santana" speakers (probably disturbing the neighbours). I said to myself, "This is timeless music; I'll still love it when I'm old." I'm old.
Unbelievable and sheer perfection from, next to Miles Davis, possibly the greatest musician to grace our planet. Thank you John and your fantastic band.
One of my top ten songs of all time! With that said, might I interest you in a short drum cover of this track? 🤩 ruclips.net/user/shortshD4YCGAQtko?feature=share
John’s music has inspired me like no other since I first heard Birds of Fire when I was 15 in 1973. I can’t imagine my album collection without his music.
I also heard birds of fire when I was 14 in 73. And it had a huge impact on my musical tastes ever since. I was lucky to have seen them back then at a very small concert hall. I also saw Billy Cobham at a drum seminar when I was about 18 and Jan Hammer with Jeff Beck. I didn't realize it back then but I was blessed to witness these musical masters.
Simply wonderful. The late 70’s were my musical formative years here in the UK. Music unites us all and I’m so grateful that your music still continues to shape my life so profoundly. Deepest thanks to you all. Stay safe and well.🌞🇬🇧🙏🌞
Time signature is simple 12/4: >> 4/4(8/8) - 4/4(8/8) - 4/4 (7/8+ last 1/8 theme/melody starts; da/dada-dadada-dadadaaa..) 🙃 Cobham played many different versions, but as far as i know no odd-beats, only some fast 16/16 subdevisons. I don`t like this "song" at all ;-)
This particular tune seems to reach through the decades and captivate me each and every time. First heard in the 80s, and the dynamics nearly took my head off (haha), and it's been woven indellibly into my musical being. I still have that vinyl, which was bought (probably for next to nothing) at a used record shop. In fact, it had a particular repeating pop at one particular section which I always expect to hear, even though I now only listen to it via a pristine digital source. You know, you know. I'm sure you know.
LOVE it!!!!.. Thank you so much guys.. awesome as always.... had the pleasure of seeing you guys in this lineup live in 2019. +++++ Abstract Logix !!!!!!!
Genuinity in the extreme ! Music, launched into the upper atmosphere ! EXTREME THANKS TO :John McLaughlin (guitar); Gary Husband (keys); Etienne Mbappe (bass); Ranjit Barot (drums) for playing on - all through the Pandemic !
Great music!!! thanks guys.... I would love to see Bill Bruford play with JM.....just imagining....maybe in some alternate universe it is already happening......
🎼...wow, very cool, thanks so much for some positive energy AND, oh Man, yep I know this piece well, was in Central Park, Schaefer Festival, I think ‘73, John, Jan, Billy ( whoa ), Rick & Jerry... When I got home, I took out a workshirt & did a ✨Billy Cobham✨Graffitti style piece on the back...I play Flutes & he completely blew me away, as did all of you...Much love & thanks, Fox🌬💨🔥🕶

Ranjit Barot is just killing it on the drums! ❤️
They all seem to be killing it... 😊
all of them....and as far as drumming goes..love to see Ringo even try 10% of this
@@commonsense4257👍
McLaughlin is one of my favorite guitar players hands down!
Great recording quality. Just love the bass
I just got this Topping a90d headphone amp and it's made all my headphones come alive. The bass notes are potent and smooth.
Great remember John 🎶😱 you are not human..you are Jedi👽 🏹
Unbelievable and sheer perfection from, next to Miles Davis, possibly the greatest musician to grace our planet. Thank you John and your fantastic band.
Uh bach, Debussy, allan holdsworth?
Totally agree - John's span of styles, genres, bands and musical brilliance and constant reinventing himself has been paralleled by no one else
@@pobinrI do admit that is a classic comment , however no be too critical of this .
One of my fave Mahavishnu tunes ever. Great hearing it here in 2020!
Magnificent. It sent a shiver up my spine, and brought a tear to my eye. Beyond beautiful. I've always loved that track. (New album out July 2021.)
One of my top ten songs of all time! With that said, might I interest you in a short drum cover of this track? 🤩

This is nostalgic and timeless at the same time
Thats it!
I love and admire John McLaughlin. He has been my musical role model for 45 years of guitar playing......
McLaughlin , just gets better with time .
John is best guitarist and musical artist and best human being ever
Really!!!
I agree his precision is extraordinary, I listened and watch rock guitarists.this guy is a level beyond all.
Using superlatives is making uncomparible things comparible. So all the other musicians are less good.
Do you know all humans on this planet?
I love hearing this tune, and I don't know why. It's partially because of the spaces and surprises in it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤I never wanted it to end..........
This song never gets old! Many thanks!
Wow John McLaughlin, how many guys remember the One Truth Band !!!!!!!
Saw them twice at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Australia... Wild. JMc playing a banjo... I never saw that coming...
@@TheDavidfallon yep was a crazy line up....
Dude, I was just listening to that album off YT when I stumbled onto this posting dated a week ago.
You do realize that he pre-dated Bela Fleck and the Flecktones by about nine years.
Me
Happy Birthday, John!
Are they even jamming in the same room? Most excellent!
Simply wonderful. The late 70’s were my musical formative years here in the UK. Music unites us all and I’m so grateful that your music still continues to shape my life so profoundly. Deepest thanks to you all. Stay safe and well.🌞🇬🇧🙏🌞
This is freekin' GREAT !!!! Thanks you, John... for the decades of amazing music...

Dankeschoen
Die Alten Zeiten

Absolutely Agree This Band Is Fantastic Together
Ronnie Scotts March 2017 - Tuesday - fantastic, timeless, a privilege to have been there ... Thank you
My top 3.... Jimi Jeff and John. No last names needed.
I have always loved John McLaughlin!
One of my favorite top 10 albums, the Inner Mounting Flame. I had a lover who played this record. it is a very passionate album.
mine also!!!
Made my day
Hats off
Stunning! Mr. McLaughlin is still one of the best guitarists ever, and still keeps up with the younger players.
Thank you for being here for all of us, all of you are a gigantic part of us surviving 2020 !! . THANK YOU! Peace from Detroit
Killed it the drummer is awesome so is the rest of the band
prelijepo dragi kolege srdačan pozdrav iz Zadar Croatia
Pure beauty! The basic motiv has some feel of eternity to it.
I think Cobham played the time signature 3 3 2 3 4 4 5.
Time signature is simple 12/4: >> 4/4(8/8) - 4/4(8/8) - 4/4 (7/8+ last 1/8 theme/melody starts; da/dada-dadada-dadadaaa..) 🙃 Cobham played many different versions, but as far as i know no odd-beats, only some fast 16/16 subdevisons. I don`t like this "song" at all ;-)
I Love how this song creeps and crawls in one ear through the soul and out the other ear 👂!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🎵👍!!
Yes!!! Amazing band, and Ranjit and Gary are two of my all time favorite drummers!
What can I say, except for : "Amazing"
Fantastic! Thank you to all four players and Abstract Logix for making and sharing it :-)
I don't know what to say, one of the most powerful musical performances I've ever heard (and seen). Such class, pure class. Jesus.
Od pięćdziesięciu lat słucham tego utworu i zawsze mnie zachwyca !!!!
hypnotic...
Love it Very Nice Thank you so much Stay safe Happy Holidays to you all & all yours

Music of my youth. The 70s was heaven for instrumental electric art music. Does anyone know if they are the Jack Trip software to play together?
