Sooo percussive. These two don't even need a drummer!

[keo774]

pure genius

[nico69l1]

allways and every time the same: mcl does his lines over harmonies and when he plays real improvised melodies, he plays as "slow" as every other good player out there. boring.

[frankdialogue]

Both great players but this stuff leans toward being 'freakshow-ish'.

[carbonbodyworker]

@frankdialogue absolutely my friend!

[bananabeam]

John Mclaughlin on BANJO!!!!! Jonas Hellborg on SEINFELD BASS!!!!

[zombieraddish]

The thing that I like about McLaughlin is that even though hes a little hyper-active hes just a nice playful guy. I can't say the same for many fusion guitarists.

[florafox]

listen to John's theme from 0:35 to 1:02 then it becomes clear that John is not a rock not a classical not a flamenco not an indian, but a JAZZ -musician, basically. Later he develloped different styles on his own.

[pentacleofvenus]

these guys have freak show talent.

[Carlosbassman9886]

Simplemente genial

[whittonmatt]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

[ZOMGItsRobot]

love the charlie parker au privave quote towards the end

[alembicbassguy]

I wish I could find these performances somewhere on cd so that I could import them onto my ipod.

Amazing!

[AceOfTheBass]

they are available on cd.

[alembicbassguy]

How do I find them? Thanks for the tip off buddy!

[SubconsciousMonkey]

REAL.... musicianship....

DAMN this is a good piece of music, and lovely to watch.

Great post, thanks!

[andarcalabar]

That is what I'm talking about!!!

[flammadiddle]

Visti a Roma, fantastici...

[lennybreaugod]

JM is a god!

[eriksandin]

I was helping jonas, selvaganesh, and IA rigging up stuff for a show in stockholm. And i have to say that he's still as amazing with those guys as was with maclaughlin

PS. his amp weighs shit!!!!!

[beatallica]

I don't think IA's playing goes too well in art metal. shawn lane is sorely missed...

[DaKewlGuy1234]

This is great, but i prefer Jonas with Shawn lane

[funkybass4ever]

GOT THE TAB FOR THAT? jUST KIDDING!!!!!!!! Love the way these guys mesh, makes me wanna play my bass 8 hours a day!

[spooki123]

Does anyone know where I can find the Electric Dreams video from this very same concert?

[nicklinnik]

Between like 1:40 and 1:50 JM is just going insane, not like that's a rarity but what idiot cameraman focuses on the bassist's ass?

[toxicity28]

whats is the significance of 02:23

[lklkhjhjdfs]

jonas was at his best with mac laughlin . Mac laughlin too ?

[megadethfan06]

Mclaughlin is always at his best :-)

[alembicbassguy]

Totally awesome..I wish this was available on cd:(

[gphilamp]

you can download it and convert to mp3 with the program gettube easily! oh yeeeah

[elsegno]

"Thelonious melodious"

[fridun007]

I got the bootlegged copy from some guy in Greenwich Village and he got it from some guy in Chicago.

[fridun007]

Thanks so much for posting the information. I actaully have this on "beta" cassette and I've looking for this for so long. Do you have any more from this concert? I would like to hear "the dolphin". THanks!

[lovekurt]

Incredible! I am grinning whole way through. =P

[maidoodesu]

@lovekurt P...5...☆彡

[123mataderos]

de donde se lo apaga a John??

[123mataderos]

too much :)

[lockstockshotgun]

I was wondering what the title of this show was and what year .

[llafutaal]

show title: John Mclaughlin and Jonas Hellborg Live at Fabrik club, Germany 1987.

[lockstockshotgun]

Cheers. Thank you

[tread1955]

Senor llafutaal,

?Cuando era grabado el concierto? Me paraece de los medio 90 por que el numero fue grabado en "la Promesa". Tambien me encanta como a 4:27 empiezan a tocar "Au Privave" por Charlie Parker. Gracias por los muchos videos de John que has puesto.

[llafutaal]

Este maravilloso concierto de solo 2 musicos fue grabado en Fabrik, Alemania en el 87, el mismo año del concierto de John y Paco en Friedburg! y qué diferentes son ambos conciertos! Intentaré colgar más pues el concierto es simplemente maravilloso.

[soulzero31]

Anyone know the name of this piece?

[llafutaal]

THELONIUS MELODIUS

[soulzero31]

thanks!

[kathakalimask]

Who gives a s**t about chemistry. This is just SENSATIONAL artistry and combo playing.

[umawwi]

jonas is great but he's really overplaying throughout this whole piece.

[florafox]

he has to play like this because there is no keyboard and no drums.

[joechucas]

overplaying? I just believe that it adds to the wall of sound, making the melody more exaggerated.

[guitarttimman]

that's some cool catz baby. GREAT MUSIC

[prasiddha]

I have this entire show. If you look throughout the entire show, you'll notice that there isn't much chemistry going on between JM/JH (not as usual that is).

It seems as if at this point, they were already fighting each other and JH was about to get out of Mahavishnu.

[llafutaal]

Excuse me but I´ve enjoyed this vid from first to last minute thinking they two were feeling right! more, Hellborg has some moments of magic,looking, laughing and playing free.

[prasiddha]

Don't mean to start an argument, but I have the entire show. It is almost two hours long. I got it off of a Torrent file.

It doesn't take a genius to notice that there is tension between them. But them being true gentlemen, try to mask it for the sake of the audience.

[prasiddha]

There is this break in the show where JH storms backstage and takes off his purple jacket. And JM makes a joke about it. He seemed obviously pissed.

Look at the date of this performance, and look at the date in which JH leaves/quits Mahavishnu. Notice the coincidence?

[llafutaal]

OKAY, you maybe right! I don´t know exactly this thing. I understand that working and travelling day and day it can exist some difficults between musicians.

[florafox]

what happened on this day ?

[gggose]

sick

[jacs91]

WOW, thank you soo much for posting this llafutaal, it made my day.

[llafutaal]

I´d like to be on this show!
