John McLaughlin's solo is inspired to say the least.

Most talented group ever assembled, period!

There is nothing like this music. When my dad first introduced me to mahavishnu orchestra's music I went crazy! They weren't afraid to play anything, they could go from jazz fusion into blues in a second and then go back at a moments notice like in this song for instance they do that and it's so wild!

10/4

Dotted quarters*** my mistake.

You could count this a number of ways, but that's not one of them. The way I count it is three measures of 6/8 followed by one measure of 2/8. The guitar is in the same time signature, but is throwing you off by playing notes on the first, third, and fourth beats (like 3/4) instead of the first and fourth beats (like 6/8). Basically, it's quarters over dotted eighths; 2 over 3. Polyrhythms FTW!

I saw Mavishnu Orchestra, Santana, and Weather Report in Concert along long time ago :). Man what a great show. Only problem was that people were throwing fire crackers from the upper stands and fucked up the show. I grew up digging this stuff. I tried my best to play like this on guitar ::O.

I remember when my cousin Nick showed me this song for the first time after we smoked a huge cannon, it tripped me right the fuck out and still does to this day. My favorite part is definatly when the guitar rhythm sounds in 3/4 and the drums are in 4/4, but flow perfectly together. Starting at 0:55

ranks up there with 'King Crimson's' (Fracture) as the best art-rock instrumental ever written...
