Here's a snippet from their Chateauvallon concert but it's replaced with radio-sourced audio and synched. (If you don't think there's much difference in the audio, I highly suggest wearing your headphones)
So, a full live broadcast of the Mahavishnu Orchestra at the Festival of Châteauvallon, France, 1972 circulated in recent years in the form of physical distribution and digital file. A radio broadcast tape also exists in digital form (and in unusual stereo, where Jan Hammer's Rhodes are at the right and much of the instruments are filled in both channels), which allows syncing to be possible, but it's got a lossy quality. I tried syncing these together but it came out as a bit iffy and awkward but it shouldn't be too distracting; keep in mind that I don't do full-time video restoring so this is just a bit of an occasion where I'd like to play around with video editors (or try to refine these skills)
Watch for:
-at 0:00, the snare goes from the right channel to centre channel - very creative!
-at 0:53, the radio-sourced audio persists while the video gets abruptly cut.
-at 2:23, MEH (comical relief)
-at 8:36, drum solo
-at 14:03, wrap it up
-at 15:19, this motif is called Resolution when describing in the context of Mahavishnu Orchestra; the motif was first heard in Tony Williams Lifetime's single One Word.
-Throughout the whole video, this was equalised (the thin-sounding audio don't do much for me.)
