I keep hoping some day a live Mahavishnu box set will appear...

Is amazing stuff. bought the box set a while back, with tone other stuff, no time to commemorate so many bands. Need 30 hour days to make time for good music! RIP Rick! You have an amazing legacy , your music will be timeless!

It's going for $100 or more, now. For me, when it comes to Fusion, Mahavishnu reigns supreme. I respect the likes of RTF and W. Report, but personally, I've never found their compositions remotely as engaging as McLaughlin's.
