Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This fabulous show, recorded live in Belgrade by Serbian TV, confirms the impression that the illustrious guitarvirtuoso never has sounded better than here in his mid 60s. Playing as visionary and innovative as ever, constantly going for the edge. And the more conservative John McLaughlin fans make take comfort in the fact that he here mostly plays his slightly phased jazzguitar, rarely using the laptop for synth effects.
The band is stellar with the versatile Gary Husband playing keys and sometimes supplementing Mark Mondesir on the drums. Whereas Dominique di Piazza is downright outstanding on the bass. I guess he might top my list of 'underrated basslegends'. Actually he had to jump in with short notice when the bands original bassplayer, the young superstar Hadrien Feraud had a fingerinjury. Di Piazza, a catholic pater, played with Mclaughlin on the landmark "Que Allegria" album and fortunately we get his feature number from that album "Hijacked". But that's really only one of several jawdropping solos, superfast but at the same time artistic and creative.
No Mahavishnu classics, but 3 songs from the brilliant "Floating Point"album, and the gorgous ballad "Nostalgia" from the MO3 period.
Like the Five Peace Band with Chick Corea this is fusion at its absolute best. Daring and mindexpanding.
