Can anyone imagine if Billy Cobham was with Frank Zappa back then? I wonder how fast tickets would sell?

@HippyamongHicks like paul kossoff, brian jones, keith moon, john bonham, steve clark, and phil lynott all of whom are british/irish and died of drug overdoses. the point is not only american musicians die from drugs

Couldn't have put it better myself!
Just place this song in context. 1972/73. The best out there was Hendrix, Clapton, Zappa, Greene, perhaps Page and Garcia and Santana, and THEN MO's IMF is released. The guitar world was swept clean, and everyone now had a look at what virtuoso electric modal jazz was.
