To say this is for fans of the Jazz-Rock/Fusion genre, are there some out there?

To me i never forget the day i listend the first time to the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the 80´s. A outstanding bunch of extraordinary talented musicians who played together in a awesome way. They are the most significant group in the jazz-rock/fusion genre ever which was founded in the early 70´s. Through the relationship of founder and guitarist John Mc´Laughlin to the indian culture and his guru Chri Chinmoy the band sadly broke up in 1973.

Here is some video live material to watch i found on youtube from the early 70´s period. The time for this kind of music is unfortunaly over for all time i guess, by all these reunions of older groups i wish i could see them in concert one time in their shape of those days.

Thanks for your interest they belong to the worlds greatest groups ever and sure that´s not only my opinion, it´s really sad that you can´t get DVD´s with their concerts from the early 70´s. There are so many other´s groups stuff on the market with rubbish music no one needs really but never i saw a Mahavishnu Orchestra live in concert DVD, really sad to say.

ps. here have a look not best sound quality but worth watching, Sister Anrea by the Mahavishnu Orchestra,

Hi layney haven´t had much contact with you lately but if you look back on this i would recommend to get the first 3 albums they have released. The Inner Mounting Flame(1972)/Birds of Fire(1973) and Between Nothingness and Eternity (live recorded in central park 1973).
