I have fond memories of seeing Shakti at the very beginning when they played in Goa 50 years ago. Oh where did all the time go, they were great then and even better now. Zakir actually made the tabla talk that night and I mean literally.
How wonderful, I'm happy for you. Time is an illusion in the eternal now-present. Form must always change and flow to exist. But consciousness is always here! 🕉 It's all a miraculous blessing... 🙏 ✨️ Shakti! 🎉 Shiva! 🕉
What an amazing show that was! Seems like everyone was walking on air as they left the venue. Such a wonderful vibe in that hall, everyone came out for the music
Very nice performance but missing L.N. Shankar on violin... I saw him performing beginning of this year in Varanasi (India) and it was amazing 🥰 yeah, sad he's not joining John & Zakir to remember Shakti, I saw them too in 1977... time is flying... time is illusion in the infinite present... All is bliss, all is bliss 🪷
Saw them Friday. Waited 50 years to see this presentation. I think the trio with Trilok and Kent K. was closest to this, but not of this brilliance and beauty. Deeply breathtaking. Along with the Mahavishnu commemoration of a few years ago, J.M. has graced the world yet again.
No words do this music justice. At least none that I have. But I have to say that McLaughlin is a miracle and his musicians in all his bands, well they are the ver best ❤
Om SHAKTI KUNALINI SHAKTI! OM SAT CHIT MAHAKARUNA ANANDA! "Music produces a kind of pleasure without which human beings cannot flourish." - Confucius ******* Still enjoy the early Shakti albums fifty years after finding them in Des Moines, Iowa!- RFT JD. MPLS_MN, USA
Great. Fantastic concert! It wasn't until I was 80 jear old that I got to know the great artists. All the best to the ensemble. ❤🍀 It's nice to see when the artists can enjoy the audience. 🍀
I’ve been listening to Jon M. Since Bitches Brew in the 60s. Always a favorite. I was able to see him in concert twice with Mahavishnu Orchestra, and twice with Shakti. Very memorable concerts.
I am at once thrilled to hear and see Shakti returned; and sad that the other original member L. Shankar is absent. Such is life; another unknown. I celebrate this wonderful music 🎶 and musicians 🕉 🕊

It’s called ear training …It seems like telepathy -but after listening/playing enough with each other the best musicians can anticipate how other musicians respond
Great concert, unfortunate camera angle. Four thumbs up. Unfortunately, can’t see John Mclaughlin’s hands. Shakti is a wonderful example of how Indian music tends to absorb and blend in different musical styles.
Hey guys, could anyone tell me, whats the part from around 8 minutes called? I have been searchin for it since i heard it live at Budapest this year, but i cant find it. Bless you
It's called Guru Mantra. I doubt if it's available online with the same melody and all the improvisations except other Shakti live performances. In case you want the song after the mantra, it's Giriraj Sudha. Happy listening.
it's amazing how you managed to combine the most uninteresting aspects of indian classical music with the most tedious aspects of american jazz to create the worst fusion ever.
@@NefastusJones he very well might be. But I think it says a lot that me: a very experienced musician, with hundreds of live gigs, and a bachelors degree in music, didn't even notice there was a tambourine player... Also: Pretty sure that's a kanjira, not a tambourine ;)
That's quite a statement...can you back that up by giving us some better examples?...or is this just your opinion?...just curious as to who are (were) your music teachers?...and what recordings have you made or that exist that can support your statement by contrast?
@@bradgillian5269 ...of course it's my opinion. There is no objectively 'better' in art. Why would telling you who my music teachers are contribute to the conversation? I doubt you've heard of them. And I don't do any recordings of Indian classical music or jazz fusion, so I don't understand what listening to them would achieve.
