Mahavishnu Orchestra "Between Nothingness And Eternity"

Full Album Friday this week, features Mahavishnu Orchestra and their first ever live record, 1973's "Between Nothingness and Eternity".  The band lineup is:

John McLaughlin: guitar
Jan Hammer: keyboards
Jerry Goodman: violin
Rick Laird: bass
Billy Cobham: drums



Note there are a couple versions of the same recording, and some background from one uploader, Jay Kay, about the recording.  

The Complete Columbia Albums Collection Version This is the remastered and re-released version of Nothingness & Eternity from Central Park from Aug. 1973. This has the restored (Goodman and Hammer) solos from Sister Andrea. By the way: the sound quality is AWESOME compared to the old CD released in, who knows, the late 80's (now you can hear Billy in all of his odd meter brilliance). If you are watching/listening to this on YouTube and it is not the Sony re-issue (as here) you are not getting the best quality available. Note: I had to upload this as an MP3 (320kps). If anyone knows how to do this as a WAV (is that possible?), let me know. Live at the Schaefer Music Festival, held in Central Park, New York on August 17 and 18, 1973

The track listing is:

1. Trilogy: Sunlit Path, La Mere de la Mer, Tomorrow's Story Not The Same
2. Sister Andrea
3. Dream




There was a video listing of the second set from this show, but, it is not available on YouTube any longer, unfortunately.  Clicked on the link in the description, and the box came up saying, video unavailable.  Enjoy what is here, though.  This is great.
