John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham Montreux Jazz Festival 2010

[FusionMusic1000]

ah! He gave his white Strat to Jeff Beck in the 70's. Nice seeing B. Cobham with him again. He's always got a good groove.

[karmakultivator]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa great as ever!!!!! Great to see John with the strat, also.

[JMElectrohope]

woah! they 're back!

[Zorbasrhodos]

Da ist die Energie wieder zu spüren! Es ist auch egal, ob Mr. McLaughlin auf einer "Strat" spielt oder Mr. Cobham auf "Sonor" oder "Yamaha". Die beiden sind die pure power, "Quantenphysik und unendliche Weiten"! Thank You for the vid!

[vinlandr]

JM was asked on the spot to play with his old friend Billy, he did not even have his own guitar its why he plays a strat ;-)

[mikibirta]

The Master finally found the instrument: Strat!!! :)))

[axyshay]

wtf! they are on fire !

[gonoisy]

@0:43 he drops his stick on time.

[1974romina]

I feel like in these last times, John have lost some speedness.....maybe the advantaged age? The speedness has ever been the central point of John's guitar playing.

[johnjtheoriginal]

@1974romina here he does'nt need more speed, here the ideas mixed with expression is the real thhng (sorry 4 my english)

[Ramshackled17]

..Now the world needs the full Mahavishnu Orchestra again.

[Ramshackled17]

0:44 The flying stick hits the cymbal, and IN TIME!! That's what happens when you are a legend! God Bless Billy Cobham!!

[69torus]

Two buddies jammin' their souls out! great to see!!

[JOHNNYG99X]

the first time i see JM with a strat ! kind of looks strange

[michaeljamsmith]

I just never imaged McLaughin with a Strat!

[dorian411]

God this is so superb. JMac is extraordinary and Cobmonster fuels the drive. Thanks you but we need more.

[dwill123]

This hurts, watching these two and the rest of the original MO is alive, well and doing -- NOTHING. Come on guys RTF is working on their third reunion we want just one from you guys (with a DVD of course). Everybody say I'm sorry and let's get the tour started this summer, ok.

[MobiusRoom]

@dwill123 absobloodylutely......this is getting rediculous now....just one re-union.....i swear if any o those guys buy the farm before we get that re-union it will be a sad loss for the entire universe....i think we should find mr mclaughlin and have a chat with him.....im willing to beg!!!...(but plz dont make me)....

[pbanders]

That's a ridiculously good clip. Literally causes me pain to see these two together and not to see a MO revival - IMO, JM's playing here is far more evolved and precise than he ever was in the old MO. Imagine what it would be like today.

[007zz]

Great ..We have to kick them off the stage I guess. -;)

[MrAvmitra]

Long Live to John and Billy!!!!!

[swimologist8]

;Let's just ask the obvious: where could you find two women in their mid-60s

doing ANYTHING comparable to what this drummer and guitarist are doing; ripping it up like thiis? So much for "Girls Rock! Girls Rule!"

and "Girls KIck Ass!"

[WorldCulturalArchive]

0:44 Perfect Crash Synhcro

The Best

[keo774]

WOW

I didn't know anything of this performance!

well, the two guys can still rock togheter

they're in perfect fit!

[tgolchin]

YESSS!!!! this so bad ass! thanks for posting 

[teemingup]

Found this to be more fun than the whole `Mc Laughlin complete live at Montreux`. This is what music should be about! Thought Billy had taken it easy a bit more. I am glad that he still has his chops when he needs to! Thanks so much for posting.

[railcar123]

RIPPIN!!!

[danielworks]

John Mclaughlin with a Strat ..how bizarre

[gilouseb]

Boum-boum, Dzoing-dzoing, Tagada...Musique sans aucun intérêt, sauf, comme l'a dit quelqu'un, de voir Mc Loughlin avec une Stratocaster.

Allez, John, rejoue-nous "Extrapolation"...

[triofdoom]

Oh yea, just like old times!! 

"We got one there, yea, we got one there yea really"

Cobham/Mclaughlin

[jasaggio]

obviously these are two highly skilled musicians.....maybe i don't "hear" jazz that well, but to me this is a cacaphony of two solos and has no real musical value....

[dorian411]

@jasaggio So sad you cannot hear and appreciate.

[Riddim4]

Never thought I'd see this again,

[hihats]

wow...McLaughlin on a Strat...is the tune You Know You Know ?

That's some pretty slick groovin ' in 5/4 time

[gphilamp]

sooo great, i wish i would have been there. do you have more of this paritcular gig??

[avs002]

Well, it's about time they played again... isn't it? Let's hope, finally, for a reformed Mahavishnu Orchestra tour the next few years. In the meantime, there's avs002.
