Some of the best playing in this genre I’ve come across. I suppose it was the golden age for that kind of material. Full marks also to the sound engineers on this gig/recording. Every instrument is clear and distinct. That doesn’t often happen nowadays.

Got to see this same lineup play outside the Student Union on the Univ. of Florida campus that same year. Didn't sound quite this good, but more than good enough to appreciate the experience. That was my first time to hear Scofield, still a monster to this day.

Much as I love all the greatest drummers, past & present, in rock & in jazz, to me, Billy was The G.o.a.t. They say nobody could do what Bonham did, what Peart did, Buddy Rich, etc. They are right. But nobody could do what BC did, either. The guy had superhuman skills, power & endurance. For example, check out "The Noonward Race" by Mahavishnu Orchestra, live in April 1972, on the "Mar Y Sol" various artists festival album. It's uncanny, the interplay between him & John McLaughlin. Even in the 1990s, he still had all his chops. Look for a 1992 trio live performance video with him, Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter. He plays with relative restraint, something he wasn't really known for since his stint with Miles, until his solo, which is as explosive as 20 years before.

@@jamesmicucci7028 That Mahavishnu Orchestra performance of "Noonward Race" from the 'Mar y Sol' album you mentioned was my introduction to Cobham, Mahavishnu, jazz-rock fusion and ultimately jazz itself. I was in my early teen years and my mind was totally blown hearing that performance in 1972. Sadly, that Mar y Sol CD is out of print (never made it to CD, I think), but it might be available to listen to on youtube. By the way, you might already know that that performance was heavily edited and the much longer entire unedited performance is included on the 'Best of Mahavishnu' CD.

Alphonso Johnson was my bass teacher when I lived the the SFV. He was actually playing with Carlos Santana then and you are actually correct he was and is one outrageous musician. I used to go to all his live shows around L.A. and we all listened to him in awe and he is truly a humble and beautiful soul. I wish he would release the material he would present with his band, songs like Laya`s dance, outstanding song, among many. Keep on Al(Slim). Love ya! Tommy G.

Clarification: I was referring above to the show with Billy & Jeff Beck. Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group DID play CT in 1976, I believe, at The Pinecrest Country Club in Shelton. And, as I've stated elsewhere here, I saw the Cobham/Duke Band a couple of times at Shaboo Inn in Willimantic, CT. They were fabulous. And, for some reason, I thought they were much better in person than on the live album.

I was fortunate enough to catch them for free, playing outside the Univ. of Florida Student Union in 1976. I even managed to ask Cobham if there were any plans to team up again with Tommy Bolin. He just shrugged his shoulders and went back to breaking down his drum kit. Most of us know the talented but addicted Bolin OD'd in December of that year. Sad but true repeat event all too common in the 1970s.

Me too... I wrote a lot with him! I even got his George Duke Songbook from 1977 and he signed it.. much missed!

If there was musical justice, this band would be considered high on the list of supergroups.

Safe to say, Scofield is the definition of cool...

Sco was cool af at the CT club show I saw with this band, I think it was in Fall 1976. Most of us Billy fans didn't even know who Sco was until this tour. John Abercrombie had been the guitarist on "Crosswinds" & I think "Total Eclipse", too. Maybe I missed one Sco was on already. Whereas Tommy Bolin had impressed on "Spectrum" that a rock dude could hang with the fusion masters, Sco went even farther with his command of jazz & fusion idioms with BC, Dukey & Alphonso. He's spread out stylistically since then, I think he's even respected in the jam band scene, but yeah, I thought he played with a cool ass intensity in this lineup.
