The Mahavishnu Orchestra was a fusion and jazz rock group active between 1971 and 1976. The band's leader was guitarist "Mahavishnu" John McLaughlin and its founding members were Billy Cobham (drums), Rick Laird (bass guitar), Jan Hammer (keyboards) and Jerry Goodman (violin).
This is the original line-up, great musicians with special attention to master drummer Billy Cobham!You Know You Know
I once saw the band "live" at a festival at the trot and racecourse in Hilversum in 1974. Jerry Goodman and Billy Cobham were no longer there, Jean Luc Ponty and Michael Walden were their replacements. In my memory a beautiful but also a very hard performance. By the way, it was a beautiful festival with Earth and Fire, Alquin (great) Tim Bucley, Dooby Brothers, Allman Brothers, and the closing act would be Van Morrison, unfortunately The Allman Brothers had played for a very long time, people complained. local residents about noise nuisance, so that was no longer possible.
Alquin (Summerfestival Hilversum, 18 juli 1974)
Intrigerende muziek.
