I dont know why people diss McLaughlin.
He is totally unique and utterly brilliant.

Just to be clear, this is from the album Remember Shakti, the first Remember Shakti album recorded live in concert. This was before the late incredible Mandolin Srinivas joined the group for the next two albums, Saturday Night in Bombay and The Believer. In my humble opinion, this song is one of the most beautiful by McL or anyone else. There's another version on McL's  The Promise album and another stunning beautiful version by Lucas Pickford and Steve Hunt on one of the Mahavishnu tribute albums.

I used to run every day to this track; it dictated my pace and time as well as my feet being in 9/8 timing. Wonderful divine performance!

Genuine fusion music unlike  the crap we hear today

this is live btw.....just saying, with  impeccable technique and immense surplus in both mind and spirit. Whats not to love

2025 still listening ❤ very much pleasing to the ears!!!

If there is a god, then this is surely her music (along with the complete works of JS Bach, of course). Play this at my wake, with the lights out and everyone lying on their backs, and I'll be there, for sure …

Rest in Peace Zhakir hi...

We don't dismiss him! He's just above most peoples comprehension, Myself included. I've been following Him since 1972. Have had the honor and privilege to see Him four times. Once with the original Shakti, next with the incredible Woodrow"Sonship" Theus, and twice with Trilok Gurtu. Was, and am still always amazed at how He keeps pushing the music envelope. Here's hoping He keeps trailblazing for all of us mere mortals for many years to come. To be "lucky" enough to be alive at this time and space and sharing the planet with Him is incredible to Me as a person and musician. From what I've read and listened to, as in interviews, He's an incredible human being, flawed as we all are, but continuing to strive , grow, and evolve. If only we all had but a fraction of this man's outlook on life and music, the world would be an incredibly much better place. Can't say enough, but I'll stop now.

Whenever I feel an anxiety attack coming on, I listen to this and get brought back down.

I discover this recording in 1997 and Zawinul Syndicate... My musical life !!!

I was at this concert and it was just outstanding 🙏

what need have I for this, what need have I for that --> I'm dancing at the feet of my lord = all is bliss, all is bliss

McLaughlin forever

Great masters, great music❤ Dear Zakirji, you will live for ever with your lovely music. My heartfelt salute to your great soul🙏🙏🙏💕

This is my favorite Song by Shakti

A jewel for eternity 💎

I saw Remember Shaktgi at the Birmingham Symphony Hall some time before this album was released.  Utterly fantastic.  I saw also Shjakti with U Shrinivas, and then the farewell tour at the Hammersmith Apolo.  Utterly amazing.

This is it .  This track .
Superior musicianship and beauty and spirit
and it's live   they really captured something here
I go on a journey each time I hear it  thank god it was recorded for us  !!

¡SUBLIME! La parte del 5:30 al 6:30, cuando entran Zakir y Vikku, es brutal...
