Music reviews of John Mclaughlin Montreux Concerts (Bonus CD)

Music Review: Want 20+ Hours of Music That Truly BURNS? Look No Further
Rating: 5 Stars

Great Stuff. Lots and lots of great stuff here.

The 17 minute version of "Meeting of the Spirits" on the One Truth Band 1977 CD with Shankar and Sonship Theus is MINDBLOWING, second only to the FRIGHTENING, GODLIKE version on the legendary Mahavishnu Cleveland 1972 concert.

The SHAKTI discs are all PRIME, just fantastic stuff, as good and often better than any of the previously released Shakti & Remember Shakti albums. The Chick Duet Disc is considered by some fans I've talked to, a masterpiece concert, but for me it was only quietly impressive with a little too much we-are-geniuses-jazzifying posturing, especially on Corea's part.

The Live version of "Seven Sisters" on the Heart of Things Concert is amazing. The simultaneous soloing by John and Gary Thomas on this tune is the quintessence of all that is great about fusion.

The ULTIMATE CONCERT though or at least the one with the highest quotient of SHEER FUN is the De Lucia /McLaughlin Duets disc. They both do a crazy solo set each before they start jamming and it quickly turns into the most jaw-dropping acoustic playing you've ever heard. On a par and often surpassing anything on "Friday Night in San Francisco," (Di Meola being absent notwithstanding, in fact, this seems to make things a little more loose and soulful). The versions of "Spain," "Florianapolis," "David" and "Guardian Angel" on here are so intense and so awesome, I would pay 230 dollars just for that one concert alone! The first time you hear it, you will swear De Lucia has no peer on acoustic guitar and never will have one. The tenth time you listen, once you're more into what's actually being played than clarity of tone and sheer warp speed, you realize that McLaughlin is the man, that he's the one that truly keeps these tunes endlessly DEEP & interesting with his superior knowledge of scales and restless inventiveness. Because of this, he plays stuff in improvisation that De Lucia, as great as he is, absolutely could not play without having to sit down and run through it a few times first.
