SUNY New Paltz Master AUD (Mahavishnu Masters Flood) - Amazing, incredible set
The boys are flying, in the stratosphere on this one! This is one great show.
During 1972-3, a local-area Northeast taper recorded five concerts of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and one of the McLaughlin-Santana Band. Here is the fourth of those concerts.
OU: Here's an excerpt of the notes I received with these shows: The digital transfer was done in the early 2000s using Goldwave to eliminate camera clicks, long periods of silence, and the occasional cough, as well as to smooth transitions. Before playing the tapes into his PC, the taper opened the cassette shells and transferred the tape spools into fresh cassette shells. The recordings were originally archived on CDR as APE files (a now rarely used lossless compression software). They were later de-compressed back to WAV and then re-compressed into their current FLAC format.
I hope you enjoy these fine performances.

I appreciate Dave's work so much and how he tracks down appropriate photos for shows that don't have any artwork, but obviously that pic is of the later mid-70's Maha Orch line-up. No big deal--the music is what matters!
Many thanks again, Dave. As far as I know, tapes from the "Birds of Fire" era are not very easy to find. And for a 72-recording, the sound is not bad, really.
Cheers! Brainy1000
Date is March 17, 1973. The sound is not perfect(B/B+)but the performance is phenomenal. The "Dream" in particular is possibly the best I've heard. Thanks very much Dave, all Mahavishnu is always very welcome and particularly the original 1971-1973 line up.
