Mahavishnu Orchestra: The lost Montreux concert (added video)

As the story goes, the master tapes of the 1972 Jazz Festival gig are lost - so here's a lone taper's recording of the radio broadcast. This runs from I Wonder into Awakening.

The funky jam at the end of the section was labelled Binky's Bean. This, in turn, has (maybe not alone) led to setlist-based objections as to the Montreux origin.

Either way, it's a great concert - in the running for being called the MO's best. So I thought this was worth sharing (especially since I still had all the leftover video bits).

the video has nothing to do with the music. It is from another concert.

This song is called "I Wonder" and written by the violinist Jerry Goodman. A studio version can be found on the Lost Trident Sessions.

Thank you for posting! Any original Mahavishnu material is important, I feel. The fact that this has decent to good sound quality is even better!
