I was there in Central Park for both days. To hear this music rise into the air, through the trees and bounce off the skyscrapers above the Wollman Rink was just magical. We kept looking at each other, smiling and shaking our heads. Then laughing to keep from being emotionally overwhelmed. It was that good. The live album is a bit distorted, and prevents you from hearing some of what was going on, but the live sound was typical Mahavishnu - delicate, meaty, soaring, coming at you in waves.

Thats what wrong with my generation is you ask me. There is No originality, No thought, No Talent, No Showmenship, No Expertise, No Expierence, No Care & No Desire! All the equipment and technology in the world, and no brains. Musicians have no life and no future. These idiots always complain about pirated music, but if they actually made music maybe someone would buy their records. It's all emo crybaby teenage angst, repetitive, pop crap, Money Cars Clothes & Hoes rap 24/7.

@Southerntredkill The mainstream is, check out undergroudn music of the twenty first century, definitely loads of originality and creativity

@tubemank YOU WERE THERE!?!?!? I'm so jealous. Hearing the Sunlit Path for the first time was a religious experience for me. I'm not kidding.

Fantastic!

@oregonbobv Never heard this commentary from others who were there. Thanks for the perspective. It could be entirely possible Jerry stole the show given the incredible opening solo during "Tomorrow's Story Not The Same". However, the following John and Jan fest that follows is clearly some of the best music ever recorded. That song is the most powerful and electrifying shuffle ever laid down. Billy's back beat is astounding!

Hey y'all out there! This song opened my eyes for a lot of things: odd meter tunes, scales, all you need when you've lived trhoug the jimi stage. Check all Mahavishnu music.

Rosharris thanks for posting this version.

Wow, that's a cool comment bro.

No hate here.

I made fun of him for generalizing the music of an entire generation like that, as if he doesn't understand that there is plenty of great stuff out there.

Yea, I read the WHOLE thing, and made a comment.

Sorry about that.

@dorian411 The biggest shame of all of this is that I don't think there will ever be a reunion. They are by far the biggest influence on me as a musician/composer and would love to see that happen.

[dorian411]

@yageman wow, that is a lot of hate for someone whose post you read in its entirety.

[dorian411]

@TheBigdaddysun Too bad for Rick. He lost his music career. There is nothing wrong with sincerety.
