I saw Shakti on Oct. 30, 1977 (just checked my ticket stub). They opened with this song and it was very special as the version on the lp "Handful of Beauty" did not feature a guitar solo. L.Shankar played his solo on this tune wit such fury that the hairs of his violin bow were flying all over the place...now that's what I call shredding!

His statement of the melody at the beginning is just breathtakingly gorgeous. His ability to vary his picking dynamics at that speed are really extraordinary.

Like it? Love it! We loved it when it was just vinyl, but to see the master and his friends is wonderful. I'm glad Shakti has shaped world-music in many ways. It's broadened the pallet. This is more than hippie music - it has content.

GUITAR INFO. Guitar shown is one of 2 made drone string guitars built by Abraham Wechter ,then consulting luthier for Gibson. The 1st prototype was non cutaway . This cutaway was delivered to John in mid-1976 . The sring guage for the 6 strings were at first 038 - 009 , later he used 042- 010 . The 7 drone strings were 062 = 023 . 3 tranducers used , one under each bridge. Guitar destroyed when McLaughlin lent it to careless friend.

Fucking incredible! What-the-hell kind of guitar is Mclaughlin playing? I've never seen or heard anything like it! It looks like a guitar but SOUNDS like a sitar! Wow, he is fast, and the percussionists are amazing! I've always liked and wanted to learn how to play tabla...I think my technique would be perfect for that instrument. I definitely need to explore this band and Mahavishnu Orchestra, more! Awesome stuff!

If anyone wants to hear a 1977 concert of the original line up of Shakti , go to JAZZ FUSION TV (do google search on those words , it come up 1st result) . Click onto AUDIO BOOTLEGS , there are hundreds of hours of fusion concerts . You can find a Shakti cncert recorded SA DIEGO 1977 . About one hour and 40 minutes worth . Concert starts with extended version of "la Danse du Bonheur"

@Bongofury361 That is the customized "Shakti guitar" made by Abraham Wetcher, another supra mega ultra guitar that only McLughlin got, like the Double Rainbow, you can hear it on "between nothingness and eternity" of Mahavishnu to "visions of esmerald beyond".
