Mahavishnu Orchestra: "Noonward Race"


Here's a wild one.  This is Mahavishnu Orchestra in it's first iteration in 1972 with John McLaughlin on guitar, Jan Hammer on keyboards, Jerry Goodman on violin, Rick Laird on bass, and Billy Cobham on drums.  To see future iterations of the band which included such names as Jean Luc Ponty, Gayle Moran, Narada Michael Walden, Bill Evans, and Jonas Hellborg (to name a few), go here:
