John McLaughlin Friendship

[jreichbart]

This is essentially the same band that recorded Electric Dreams, the One Truth Band. If you don't have that record go get it right away!

[drjekyll66]

What a titanien session ! Unfortunately I was t young to celebrate them live.

Vinyl rules

Greetings

[yuvutero]

lenny white on drums?????

[jmoriarty]

Tony Smith. I saw Smith with the OTB and also backing Jan Hammer when he toured post MO.

[weewilly49]

I saw the Hammer/Goodman band (two black guys on drums and bass.)open for somebody , and doesn't that say something? I don't remember the headline, but surely remember this funky outfit. Any idea where to find some recorded stuff by them? Thanks.

[jmoriarty]

Only post-MO Hammer/Goodman material on a label that I know of is "Like Children", which has Hammer on keyboards and drums, and Goodman on violin and electric guitar. No other musicians that I can remember. Are you sure it wasn't Steve Kindler on violin? They toured as the Jan Hammer Group and may have produced an album. I saw them at the Cellar Door in DC.

[weewilly49]

Thanks for your info j. It led me to Amazon for a 7$ download of a 1975 show in N.Y. I truly believe this was the tour I caught at the Mich. Palace in Det. Thanks again.

vjohn82 shut the fuck up. if you dont like john mclaughlin why the fuck are you posting here. nobody forced you to say shit fucking idiot

[tchwiss]

Hey lautarodraft. You stfu ! I don't like this pretentious fret masturbation either!

[vjohn82]

John has this innate ability to make any guitar he picks up sound like shit

[monoidal]

@ vjohn82: rightly said, dude. go ahead, shit your pants and keep listening to the pixies

[vjohn82]

Hey at least the Pixies make their music sound "different" to the rest. John McCraplin makes every song sound shite.

[monoidal]

you've enlightened me, vjohn82. I always thought that only fish and chips munchers enjoying there single brain cell are devoted listeners of the Pixies. Now you've showed me that their fan base even extends to monads. Well done, pal. It's always a pleasure hearing music written in 4/4.

[vjohn82]

Lol... hey less of the fish and chips. You sound embarrassed about your own nationality ;-)

[monoidal]

can't say that, vjohn82, at least the food being no divine punishment.

[vjohn82]

Crikey... a German trying to take the piss out of British food. That's saying something. Hey... I do respect you Germans though... I mean you tried twice didn't ya ;-)

[monoidal]

good educational system, even the most modest minds seem to know it. awe-inspiring. unfortunately the Germans haven't been as succesful as the Empire when leaving British-India and establishing one of most peaceful, heavenly regions on this planet earth. Whose arse was licking Chamberlain avec plaisir ?

[vjohn82]

Lol... you are regurgatating the old Chamberlain appeasement myth again which obviously implies all British people are somehow gullible.

That's rich coming from a country where it was convinced of Aryan supremacy; I mean really... the idea that Germanic blonde hair/blue eyes is best espoused by a brown haired/brown eyed Austrian. OF COURSE... it must be the British who are gullible... not.

[monoidal]

gullible enough to believe that sausages and beans make a tasteful breakfast.

But then, wee-john82, a very final remark (non multa, melody in 4/4): And dance by the light of the moon.

[vjohn82]

Amazing.... sausages and beans? Who eats that? Considering the German equivalent I think the Brits win that one. But hey... you Germans like the Brits so much... so much that you tried to invade a few times ;-)

[LodoGrdzak]

Fernando Saunders on bass? Great band and tune. Poor vid quality, but this is still top-notch stuff. Thanks for post Brianl420!!!

[toyahandfripp]

great great great joy

[icecreamforcrowhurst]

Awesome! Got any more of this concert you can post?

[ornleifs]

This was a fantastic band, and the CD Electric Dreams is still my favorite Mclaughlin CD. Hopefully this will be released on DVD.

[drkam6]

This is AMAZING, when is this concert coming to DVD?

[kundalini76]

Love Goldberg on the mini-moog!

[JaydeYen]

'Sunship', I think you mean (Sundip) Narada Michael Walden

[25PPS]

What a shame - as far we do it all on video instead on real film, the tone stays - the colors are leaving ... Interesting sreensavers for the next generations ...

[LodoGrdzak]

Looking back, I like this band perhaps the best of all Johns lineups. Why not let us imbed Brian? Either way, thanks for the post.

[pgonzo98]

tony smith on drums and fernando saunders bass. sunships cymbals were always upside down.

[GeezerYoung]

[coltrane1958]

[MahavishnuJM]

The guy on bass dresses like Jaco

[jacs91]

That 345 sounds like CRAP!

[stringrip]

The 345 has scalloped fretboard.

[tchumtchum]

Who is on the drums Billy Cobham ??

[benvye]

This is the One Truth Band, circa 1979. The drummer was called "Sunship"

[Konfolino]

Oh nevermind its Stu Goldberg :blush:

[Konfolino]

The guy on the piano looks a bit like keith jarret?

[brianl420]

I would have loved to have been there, you're lucky

Eu teria amei ter estado lá, você sou afortunado
