The original line-up at their awesome peak. Billy Cobham is particularly on fire.
To get a taste of what MO were like live; slap on some cans and max the volume until your ears want to bleed :)
Recorded at Bananafish Garden NY 1973
ma no pa with echo's of Lyla's dance from visions of the emerald beyond in the intro
John McLaughlin (guitar)
Zakir Hussain (tabla)
V Selvaganesh (percussion)
U Shrinivas (mandolin)
Rare clip, recorded for French tv 1984. I believe this is the only time W.B.T.G has been played live.
John McLaughlin - guitar
Hari Prasad Chaurasia - flute
Zakir Hussein - tabla
Katia Labeque - piano
Marielle Labeque - tambura
Syracuse University 1972. Most videos of this tune I've come across have Johns solo missing, so I felt this needed posting even though it sounds a bit like it was recorded down a telephone.
The best quality MO footage I've ever seen. Shame JM's solo is missing.
Well that was my original discription but the crystal like clarity has been lost in the uploading. Oh well, call it fairly good resolution then.
