I love how throughout the mad chaos and sheer wildness of the performance, Gayle Moran is singing away like an angel while playing keyboards with a big smile on her face looking like she's having the time of her life. McLaughlin and Ponty are playing with complete reckless abandon while Armstrong and Walden are just totally killing it. This Mahavishnu Orchestra incarnation showed that they can cook up a storm and really burn it up.
👁️Es una pieza preparada previamente y un poco de improvisación, sin embargo, se basan estrictamente en armonías precisas, aún con todo, es notoria las imprecisiones graves en las escalas de ambos, esto no es una crítica, es una observación objetiva desde el sentido común. Cuando hubo un trío con Aldimeola se hizo evidente que él estaba tocando las escalas correctamente, a diferencia de estos dos maestros que divagaban en aproximaciones en torno a la armonía.
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^) 💗🤍💙 ✌😻
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. )
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.
Egberto Gismonti ? Gilberto Gil ? anyways; the short version opener from Electric Dreams was titled Guardian Angels and the version from Saturday Night In San Francisco is titled Guardian Angel
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
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
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
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?
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 !!!
