I forget that sometimes thankfully people respond to posts here :-) The impact of Inner Mounting Flame can't be overstated, IMO. It was truly tranformative, as was seeing them play live. He began his shows by saying how the beauty and power of music can be best appreciated when born out of silence. He'd just stand there with his hands together, as if in silent prayer. Then they'd play, and my world changed. It was an adventure...inspiring. This music didn't exist before this album.

Astonishingly immaculate musicianship! I had the good fortune to see this same set performed by this amazing crew a few months earlier that year at the Whiskey à Go Go in Hollywood. it was a much more intimate venue, and the entire vibe throughout that night was seething with incredible energy. An unforgettable and extremely visceral experience. I looked forward to seeing them again, and I was able to do so the following year when they tore up the stage at the Roxy. 👍👍

Inner Mounting Flame was that rare album that truly broke new ground. Along with Return To Forever, these guys helped me get through that rather flat period that Rock was going through in the mid 70's. Saw them in Central Park, Philharmonic Hall, the Garden, and Hofstra (w/ Jeff Beck on the bill). Ahhh... the memories...the acid...the mind expansion :-) Thanks for posting!

@@geetarman Billy Cobham was certainly at the forefront of that Busy-as-Shit style of drumming that fit this kind of fusion perfectly. He was technically proficient and really made a splash when he hit the scene all those years ago. I love him, and followed him through the years.

Thank you. Amazing concert. For those who are too young, this band in '72-'73 was absolutely the height of jazz-fusion & rock. John McLaughlin was my first guitar hero and still is to many today. Go to Amazon today and buy out their catalogue, you won't regret it. For the Mahavishnu fans, I just discovered a new, previously unreleased companion disk to '73's Live album 'Between Nothingness & Eternity' almost an hour of additional music recorded at the Schaefer Music Festival. MP3 format only.

They completely blew the audience away. Stole the show. It was amazing. Changed me forever kinda thing. The Chronicle reviewer apparently had the same experience. The Orchestra earned standing ovations after every set.

My guitar amp is a Fender Blues Junior. My ears liked a certain high ringing sounds that Steve Howe would get from blackface Fender Twin Reverbs and I could hear it in the BJ too, so that's why I got it. If I want to get into Marshall *territory* I have Boss and Dean Markley pedals that give me an approximation but it would really take a closed-back cab to get the right kind of response.

Yeah, Rex's instrument was a one of a kind. He also made a sister double neck bass for Miroslav Vitous and it can be seen on the front cover of Miroslav's album Magical Shepard. I've seen the Ibanez up close and it uses ash wood instead of 5A grade Fiddleback Maple, etc. Basically, the original was about a $10,000 instrument (inexpensive for the craftsmanship) back then. The Ibanez copy was called the artwood twin and they did a reissue of it in 2006 called the 2670RE.

We almost got into a fight, which woulda been ironic considering John's plea for a moment of silence, lol. He ended up leaving after one song (this was the late show, Beck came on first - you must've been at the early show). Second row center, and 3 empty seats next to me for John's whole show, lol. You'd think Beck fans (which I'm one of) would be able to appreciate guitar prowess

I think a valid comparison is actually Frank Zappa. Afaik, he was inspired to just pull out all the stops after walking into a Mahavishnu orchestra, and then just blasted the form to another level, incuding mind-blowing, accurate bends and blistering staccato runs. Still LOVE John M, though!

"McLaughlin is still great even by today's standards." A lot of the tapping/legato/sweep-picking players of today should listen to McLaughlin's acoustic work with Paco and Al and learn how to alternate-pick. That level of alternate-picking sounds more "machine-gun" like than all the tapping and legato stuff. Plus, they won't be so dependent on the distortion channel

If you do a little searching, there was an "exact" (FWIW) copy by Robert Dullam and he was trying to sell it for $10,000 a number of years ago. The story goes that it was stolen shortly after it was made. It's a shame that Rex passed away before he could make more instruments. Apparently, he had some special electronics that were kept secret as to what he was doing as he potted the pickups/electronics to protect his designs. It would have been nice if he made single neck 6,12 and basses.

Ritchie Blackmore has said pretty much the same thing about Johnnie Mac's bends - but again, McLaughlin comes from a Classical/Jazz background, while guitar string bending is more in the realm of traditional Blues, which means they're far from one of his specialties - John is not about long tones either- he's arguably the staccato master. Peace.

He's still one of my favs, and I love this band, but he did have some hideous bends, and Jerry Goodman ate his lunch almost every time they traded solos.
