El Hombre Que Sabia! RIP Paco. 🙏🏼 From Montreux 2016: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKmmfJZtpq59rq8

Visions come from prepared Spirits. I think it's safe to say the preparation of these two utterly astonishing, awe inspiring, extraordinary spirits... Is on a level that the majority of guitarists in this world are completely baffled by. John will be 83 years of age on January 4, 2025. We lost dear Paco February 25, 2014, he was only 66. Rest in peace Paco. You earned your wings, as did your partner John, the day you guys were born. I was lucky and saw the Super trio back in the 80's at the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, CO. I think I was 18 at the time. I was front row right under Paco. I could reach out and pat his foot which I did... once! He looked at me with those blazing dark eyes and said please don't do that. I said I am so sorry . He said it's okay kid, I still love you. My friends were so jealous. Made my life up to that point. Thank you fellows for the years of inspiration and heart warming performances. 8^) 💗🤍💙 ✌😻

Alas they fell apart. Wished they played one last time.

この曲、何故か日本語で「祭典」と呼ばれてます🎉🎉

J'avais bêtement raté ce concert à Vienne. JML est vraiment un guitariste hors du commun.

McLaughln is simply brilliant! His depth and breadth of musicianship is astounding.

Both together masters. Cheers for all the masters, between others biggest masters. 😊

I'm not sure what and why Gayle is trying to sing over J-P and John's solos. Kudos to the sound engineer who cut her mike off. Unbelievable rhythm section, btw.

Gayle Moran sang like an angel. Her voice was so soothing. It's was really different to hear her sing in a place like Winterland in San Francisco....(usually loaded with evil spirits back then....but at least they got chased out for a little while , when the Mahavishnu Orchestra played. )

The most beautiful face of all time, singing about the love of her all time. R.I.P. Chick Corea.

I saw them on tour 78-79.

I bought the Apocalypse album when it came out in the UK. I’ve never seen this live footage before. Gayle’s voice is exquisite. The band is full of brilliant players.

Incredible!!!!

Wrong comment...this was a Gilberto Gismonti s composition....

😮😮😮😮😮

Vous vous rendez compte de ce qui passait a la télé avant ?

Jazz 6 was a pre-internet television show on M6 that was pretty much the only way for youngsters to hear jazz and get into it ... I still have vhs recorded from it .. wayne shorter pat metheny .. so many people i ve known thanks to it

Great Funk Bass by Tom Stevens

Tony Smith - Drums/ Fernando Saunders - Bass/ Stu Goldberg - Keyboards/Moog/ L. Shankar - Violin/ John Mclaughlin- Electric Guitar

Loved JM's gig with Miles; loved his gig with Tony; LOVED the Mahavishnu Orchestra, loved his solo efforts - but this, this band - gotta be the high water mark of his career

All this musicians are outstanding and influenced me since I started hearing them in the 70ies.

Il manque Aldi Méola et le trio est parfait ... Maintenant pas tout le monde peut être d'accord car il se trouve que dans le Rock il y a aussi d'excellents guitaristes ... comme Jimmy Hendrix qui a donné la claque à tout le monde ... Lol

Deux huiles des meilleurs guitaristes au monde ... ça ne peut être que du bon !

This music displays pretensions to some kind of spirituality but most of it is what I call FLIBBERTYGIBIT. Those fast short really irritating runs. Earthly music really cannot be TRULY Spiritual but is instead basically just rhythm: beats per minute (the beat) and bits (notes) of varying cycles per second (the melody) over that. And REALLY no two notes can occur at EXACTLY the same time in space. A difference in time of 1/132 of a microsecond is discernible by Allah if by no one else. So in Reality ABSOLUTE harmony does not exist in Earthly life. And in Earthly life the strength of consonance is dissonance just as the strength of the law is sin and sin the law and the sweet the sour and the sour the sweet Amen? "Earthly life is not The True Life." (Quran) So Earthly music is not The True Music. Earthly music is supported by and therefore bound to rhythm. In fact Earthly music IS rhythm one way or another - beats per minute and/or cycles per second. The Music of The True Life is not supported - and therefore bound to - rhythm. In The True Life you have The Desire of Your Heart and the Truly Spiritual Music that satisfies it, UNDISTRACTED by dualities like rhythm Amen?

I think that’s Jon Luc Ponty

Wow, never seen this before! Fantastic find

Que buenos!!!!

😀😀😀😀😀😀

This is great!

im not much of a cross over fan, but this makes me happy. What album is this from ?

jajaja hay un par de frases de Eric Clapton, gracias a ese micrófono, bien fallado ahí niño

Beautiful music from wonderful musicians! A Joy to hear this! 🙏

🙏🏼🌟✨ Mister Mc Laughlin - the idol of my life

One of best guitar tone I've ever heard

In my heart since 1982

Ralphe Armstrong on fretless Pbass is amazing & perfect. Narada Walden's drumming unparalleled.

Every aspect of this is beautiful.

clearly too lazy to rehearse

Ok….i love MO ….but this here is uggly….and hmmmmmm terrible…..

Du Grand Paco !!!

Awesome but dry.

Extraordinary love John!! I saw him ein Buenos Aires in 70s because of my older brother and I’m shocked when he speaks of his older brothers and the records etc. John was caught by Miles ( he says this) I was caught by Astor Piazzolla!! I saw him latter in the 80s with Trilok Gurtu and John is such a generous man that Trilok was the star of that night. I have just returned from my Guitar Craft courses in West Virginia with Robert Fripp and when I saw John playing the guitar I said “ wow this is too much!”Thank you MAESTRO!!! Eliseo Tapia bandoneon player from Argentina !!!

They should have put Gayle's mic higher when everyone started joining :(( amazing performance nonetheless

C'est juste magnifique. Merci beaucoup.

Hold that Tiger!

This is a 1999 concert recording that sounds like a bootleg. Eight years later I am the first to leave a comment. And maybe the last. It is continually amazing to me these living legends live in relative obscurity. At most, they have put out 7 studio albums and there is barely any surviving footage of all the times they showed up at a club or school auditorium and gave what would be the performance of most of our lifetimes. The 2000 performance at Jazz a la Vienne in France is the only video I have seen that looks/sounds professional quality. They are not known outside of one country and were not even fully accepted by that country’s classical orthodox guard. But they left blood on the stage every time they played. They wrenched out the entire range of human emotion with every performance. They never needed commercial praise. The world never gave it to them. I wonder if we will look at them in hundreds of years like we now look at some of the great classical composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Bach. They started in 1973 and John/Zakir are still putting blood on the stage 50 years later. Jeff Becks Wikipedia page literally says in quotations that John McLaughlin is the greatest guitarist alive. He played with and went pound for pound with titans of every genre: Miles Davis, Billy Cobham, L. Shankar, Paco de Lucia, on and on and on. He is the greatest to ever live so far. No one has come close to doing it like John has. Btw: Selvaganesh is a beast. Like Zakir, I have never heard him hit a wrong stroke

far too self-absorbed

There was just something about Gayle.

Thanks a lot. Never seen before!!
