[stimeeee]

I just smoked some white widow and this is tripping me out!!

[harpua971]

5 people are morons.

[rajuas]

is that Pontieu?

[papaskip]

j.m. and shankar remind me of django reinhart and stefan grappelli. the styles are very different, but they both share a mastery and brilliance that is very rare. if i had a time machine i'd take shakti's rhythm section back to the quintet...

[petrovnavich]

Never been any doubt in my mind that this was a high point of 20th Century music. Still love it as much as when I first heard it in the late 70s.

@chillichomper I guess what I've always like about him is that his style , stop start jerky playing is really hard to do . Most aternate pickers like Yngwei, Shawn lane, Paul gilbert, you name them can't play like this.

How do you go from 100 mph to 2 mph and then back at 100 ????!!!!! and all very very percussive and adding to the overall rhythm of the song. I think this was JM at his technical height.

[chillichomper]

JM is just siiiiick on anything with strings. Even by today's standards he's still inhumanly fast and accurater

[DoctorEeam]

Its amazing how the two drummers are like one person when they play. There are very few if any guitarists that could ever duplicate what John does here.,,Really outstanding musicians all of them!!!

[rasjavita]

@namtil I think that the guitar has steel strings because the sound he looks for need steel strings like in the sitar

[oskarveliky]

This is an interesting attempt of a European musician to play guitar as a sitar and more within the rules of classical Indian music. John "Mahavishnu" McLaughlin belongs in my opinion to the top ten guitarists ever.

awesome percussion, f..k!

I bought the first Shakti album, gotta go hunt down the first tune, incredible soli playing
