For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra

HUGE fan here!

Saw them with original lineup at the The Santa Monica Civic here in Los Angeles in 1972. And again in 1974.

Saw them again with the MKII lineup in 1975.

I saw The One Truth Band at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1979.

I saw McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia at the Hollywood Bowl in 1981.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, I never got to see Shakti.

For me, Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire, Apocalypse, Lost Trident Sessions, Vision of the Emerald Beyond, are timeless recordings.

What I don’t understand is why a box set of live M.O. performances has never been released. As far as I know, all that’s officially available is the concert in Central Park. Surely, more shows were taped, given their popularity at the time!

I'm envious!  

You may be interested in the band, Aurora Clara from Madrid Spain.

They certainly not trying to hide their influences, but the do it so well.

They even have Jerry Goodman guest on several of their albums.

This is from 2019, from their debut album.

@stuartk, no idea as I have no connections in the recording industry.  You might ask Walter at the initial link I posted.
