It's in 9/8. Billy Cobham is the boss. 1971 was a great year for music. "Featuring an international lineup of virtuoso musicians (English guitarist John McLaughlin, Irish bassist Rick Laird, Panamanian-American drummer Billy Cobham, Czech-American keyboardist Jan Hammer and American violinist Jerry Goodman), the self-styled orchestra performed musical acrobatics whose listeners are still trying to catch their breath 50 years later."

I was introduced to John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra while living in Australia in the mid 70's. Loved everything they did.

@waldorfstatler3129 Год назад

As YES is to the progressive world, Mahavishnu Orchestra is to the jazz rock/fusion world. They are up there on another level. They are a musician's musicians. There is not much I could say that others here have not already said. Back in 1971, I bought their first album The Inner Mounting Flame and was blown away by the energy and musicianship. What I didn't realise is that I had heard John McLaughlin before on Miles Davis' 1970 album Bitches Brew. Indeed, Billy Cobham (drummer) played on a track on that album along with other great drummers Jack DeJohnette and Lenny White (Return To Forever). Thank you Miles! 😊😎 I think I was one of your subscribers who recommended this band a year or so ago. Anyway, glad you have discovered them. Now, check out their essential albums The Inner Mounting Flame, Birds Of Fire, Between Nothingness and Eternity (Live), Visions of the Emerald Beyond and The Lost Trident Sessions. Other good albums are Apocalypse and Inner Worlds.

@marrkhicks Год назад

This is sublime musicianship

@realbser1956 Год назад

They’re that good. Masters of the craft of jazz fusion. Kudos to Dee for sitting through this one. Not one I would have started with but a classic nonetheless. Billy Cobham on drums, one of the best to ever pick up a pair of sticks. You reacted to him a while back from his first solo album Spectrum. You should go back to that reaction to see what you thought of Billy back then.

@kima.4268 Год назад

Back in the 80's, I dated a guy with a music major from UCLA. He introduced me Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jean Luc Ponty with and w/o Mahavishnu, Gentle Giant, Peter Gabriel (solo), Yes, Genesis (Foxtrot) with Gabriel, all kinds of excellent musicians. I am grateful to this day!

Figure this is a 50 year old cut too. This was the band that really launched fusion. The drummer Billy Cobham was the drum god of this time. Power, musicality, technicality. The first time I saw him I had no idea and I think he's still blowing my mind 5 decades later. Fun reaction.

This music (from the early 1970's) was from the heyday of Jazz-Rock Fusion. Guitarist John McLaughlin and drummer Billy Cobham previously worked for legendary trumpeter Miles Davis. Nuff said?

@grandwazoodebris1015 Год назад

Don't be frustrated by Billy Cobham, he's the of best drummers ever, true elite, don't worry about it. Another drum feature song by Mahavishnu Orchestra is One Word, give it a listen sometime. Mahavishnu John Mclaughlin was the band leader, and was maybe the original guitar shredder, fast, crazy wide understanding of different musical styles, improviser. Rick Laird, the bassist, died a year or 2 ago, RIP. FYI the first 2 Mahavishnu albums were stone cold classics. The guitar solo of Birds of Fire song still gives me goose bumps 40+ years after I first heard it, give that a listen sometime. After Mahavishnu, Mclaughlin went DEEP into Indian music for a few years. Give a listen to that band Shakti doing Joy (live) or Face to Face.

I first seen them in 73 when they opened for ELP and blew the audience away.

My bandmates (high school at the time, 1971) went to that concert. On the Monday following they told me about how this opening band, Mahavishnu Orchestra, were completely amazing. Our drummer, who was totally committed to his instrument (lessons, constant practicing), never spoke excitedly about any musician, but with band he said it was the most incredible, complicated music he had ever heard. After practice, I rode my bike to the record store and bought "The Inner Mounting" (it was that or "My Goals Beyond", which of course I later bought). Truly, with no bullshit nor hyperbole, what a life altering moment it was hearing the first chords of "meeting of the Sprits" (like hearing Beethoven and Coltrane). Been a dedicated "fan" of McLaughlin ever since.

@phillipschuman4307 3 месяца назад

@@lvbbbasdsjcjm I had My Goals Beyond first (after hearing McLaughlin's 'Devotion' solo album, and hearing him with Miles on In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew and Live Evil). When I first heard Inner Mounting Flame, I was convinced NOBODY could play that ensemble stuff so fast and so tight, live. Figured it had to be many many takes maybe mixed together in the studio (like Miles did on Bitches Brew). So I went to see them live, and they played the entire album straight through.... but FASTER! Saw them many times afterwards, including with the second Mahavishnu Orchestra lineup (Jean Luc Ponty on violin instead of Jerry Goodman, new drummer and bassist).

The whole band is several levels above really good, aren't they? What drumming superstar Billy Cobham is doing here through most of the song is just laying out a groove. It's just that the groove this song calls for is extremely fast and very complex, and he plays it super-solid. And then those otherworldly fills he plays show why he's considered perhaps the best. I only got to see him once, when he had his own band. He opened for the Mahavishnu Orchestra in their then new configuration.

JM also taught other prominent guitarists of his day, for example Jimmy Page (Of Led Zeppelin fame). Finally, JM learned from Miles Davis (as did most of his group), and Miles Davis was responsible for so many innovations, that the cannot be mentioned here.

For those who are not in the know. You know when audiences at a concert hold up their lighters and wave it from right to left.

@ikshields 2 месяца назад

If you’ve ever heard Miles Davis’s Earth-changing “Bitch’s Brew” album, you’ve heard the leader/guitarist here, John McLaughlin. His “Mahavishnu Orchestra”, with its incredible headlong intensity and more-than-intimate influence of Indian music, was only the most in-your-face of the various splinter groups started by former “Bitch’s Brew” personnel. For more, you’ve gotta check out the other legendary fusion groups Weather Report (started by Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter), and Return to Forever (led by Chick Corea). Basically, between these three, you’ve got much of the birth of Jazz-Rock Fusion covered on the Jazz side, and your ears are in for an absolutely mind-blowing ride.

Great to find a reaction channel that gives jazz some attention. I suggest reacting to a rock/jazz guitarist called Matteo Mancuso, who is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard - if not the best. I recommend a video titled "Yamaha Sessions | Drift-Lab". Or any other really. That guy is always mindblowing.

I saw this band live in 1973. This album came out in 1971, Birds of Fire 1973 then the live Between Nothingness and Eternity. You were right- There is a Santana connection between John McLaughlin (Guitar)- the leader of this band. They had the same spiritual leader and teamed up after this to make an album together, which unfortunately was not as good as them individually. Billy Cobham is the drummer, who is still held in high regard today.

This the first album. They got better LOL.

I just saw Billy Cobham in Sacramento a few months ago and he is still the greatest drummer alive. The man is 78 years old for Christ's sake!

Hey there drummer, check out Tony Williams Lifetime, if you haven't already. Santana and his drummer Shrieve used to go watch Williams and McLaughlin rip it up. Listen to the first track Emergency of the album bearing that name. You'll be in for a wild ride.

Difficult to believe that this is 52 years old! It will probably sound as good in 50 years time. I remember when I bought the LP in 1971.

This is something I appreciated when I got a bit older. It was a bit too intense & “out there” for nine year old me, when it was new, & my sister was listening to it

YOU ALREADY REACTED TO THE DRUMMER ON THIS BEFORE...REMEMBER STRATUS BY BILLY COBHAM??? BILLY COBHAM IS THE ORIGINAL DRUMMER FOR THE FIRST (AND THE BEST) MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA...ABOUT 3 OR SO YEARS LATER HE WOULD RECORD AND RELEASE SPECTRUM HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM. BILLY COBHAM DRUMS, JOHN MCLAUGHLIN GUITAR, JAN HAMMER KEYS, THE LATE RICK LAIRD ON BASS AND THE GREAT JERRY GOODMAN ON ELECTRIC VIOLIN. AND ONE MORE THING....THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRST GROUPS TO PLAY JAZZ-ROCK OR FUSION AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE ELSE FOLLOWED. THE ALBUM YOU JUST LISTENED TO WAS FROM 1970-71. IMHO THEY WERE THE FIRST AND THE BEST OF ALL THE JAZZ FUSION GROUPS AND LIVE NO ONE COULD TOUCH THEM. BTW 9/8 TIME SIGNATURE

World class musicans Mahavishnu Orchastra was. In this case it was the first lineup, there have been other lineups after that were also amazing. John Mclaughlin the guitarist is the bands creator. That drummer that made you smile the entire reaction is Billy Cobham. In my opinion the greatest drummer there is, full stop. I might favor John Bonham for hard rock but jazz and fusion it's Billy. At one time you had Buddy Rich is the worlds best drummer and Billy Cobham at #2. Buddy had passed away so you know what happens next, the torch goes to Billy. Jan Hammer was on the keys another incredible musician, Jerry Goodman the Violinist, and Rick Laird on the Bass. you can't go wrong with listening to the entire record, there is not a bad song on it.
