Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

Very tough to replicate. McLaughlin is unique. What a great band it was. Yes, Goodman was excellent but I like Ponti in the second Mahavishnu Orchestra as well. Different styles. By the way, it was Jean-Luc Ponti whom McLaughlin initially invited for the first Mahavishnu Orchestra. He accepted the invitation but for some reason it didn't happen. Then McLaughlin found Goodman, who at the time was sort of retired to a Wisconsin farm ! John's mother played violin. Interesting, isn't it?
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll try them.

I saw the original M.O. twice and the second version once.  Then I saw the One Truth Band.  All different personnel, different sound, different vision.  The original M.O. was a one-off, unique group.  The closest thing I can think of in terms of sound and energy is Cream, who were a few years earlier.  I can't imagine anyone coming close to the original Mahavishnu Orchestra.  That's the way it is with the great ones.

Inner Mounting Flame and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond are masterpieces.
Never liked One Truth Band, that music has no meaning to me. I think, John's last great album was Que Alegria, just listen to the Reincarnation composition.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra one of the biggest mistake in my life.

I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972 or 73.  Great concert!  My very favorite album is probably Visions of the Emerald Beyond which is best enjoyed with the volume turned up very loud.
