Incredible footage of this unfortunately short-lived band. Thank you for uploading.

Simply THE singular fusion god.

35 years ago i had this record

[@enriquehernandezhevia6817]

Amazing! One Truth Band is one of my favourites, a pity the concert is not longer...Supreme Musicianship! L Shankar is the Bomb. The rhythm section, Fernando Saunders and Tony Smith from the Jan Hammer Group (Oh Yeah?) is unbelievably powerful...Thank you very much for posting!!!

[@andrijbelmega6484]

Great music

[@isdochere]

Why do you say that the concert is no longer?

[@angusorvid8840]

One of his best projects. I could watch this for hours and hours, if only it were longer. Brilliant.

[@cosmicman621]

Sanctuary...has me holding my Heart in my hands.Aum🌹

[@rajkumarrajamani4811]

beyond words ! JM at a different level

[@ae3898]

JM’s playing on that first tune sounds a great deal like some of his more abstract work on “Bitches Brew”. Digging it.

I saw l shankar in shakti 1977 and he blew my mind, he played so fast the violin bow was smoking literally.

[@fernandosaunders5661]

Thank you for posting 👌🎵

[@ItayZ93]

I was only able to find snippets of this one. Thanks for putting it all together!

[@stevo5584]

Absolutely loved this line up. On fire!

[@andrewgillis8572]

in the 11th minute - the crescendo I heard 1 month later in London - the supreme listening moment live or radio or stereo, anytime ever - and will say the Woodstock movie through the commercial theatre system of that day was also a landmark

[@bertbecker7532]

I saw this group with T.M. Stevens on bass and Sonship on drums…how long did this lineup with Smith and Saunders last? That show was great (they co headlined with Billy Cobham’ s Magic album band with a young Randy Jackson on bass). Great show, lots of jamming like this, L. Shankar was really impressive as well. When they did the early Mahavishnu I recall it taking a while to recognize some of the songs, they were jazzed and funked up a bit.

[@williamdillard8330]

Nice! 👍

[@JazzStoryForBullet]

thank you!

[@BrianNeil]

Where did you get this footage? Fantastic.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Hey Tony, put a shirt on for Christ sake! This is the only KZbin video I’m aware of that features McLaughlin’s One Truth Band. It’s quite a find and quite refreshing to watch. The first song by itself is more complex than just about anything from the original MO songbook. Some of McLaughlin’s more avant garde antics on his scallop-necked Gibson reminds me a little of what Sonny Sharrock was into. It was an interesting period.

[@timpenfield5]

Freddy Mercury is an amazing keyboardist

[@Ever-clear]

it's all so good 😂

[@CatrinaDaimonLee]

'leon shankar'

[@2011pauloroberto]

europa?

[@steimaster]

Cocaine is a hell of drug

[@nmvhr]

She was probably not. And I’m just delusional.. 😂

[@branzantis]

Sorry...i don't like this line...too much exasperated... Better 2° mahawishnu & Skakti....in that time weather report were more engaging 🤔
