If there is a music of the gods, this is probably it! Amazing! John McLaughlin (guitar) Zakir Hussain (tabla) V Selvaganesh (percussion) U Shrinivas (mandolin) Shankar Mahadevan (vocal)
I get tears starting from 1:50... throughout the mandolin sequence.... everytime I listen to this video.

The song is called 'Sakhi' by 'Remember Shakti' as the title says. It was performed only in this live concert and has never been officially recorded. I doubt you'll find it anywhere in audio format! That's the case for many amazing Indian Classical renditions.

All commenting should kepp in mind john can play in any genra, and particularily is of the most open minded of musicians, he is open to any sound, he rarely does not acsept what you would consider cheap or cheesy because he is in love with the beauty, the esence of the world.

Hi Bazonics. You said : ``The Wish`` off the album is the greatest thing JM has ever played. Well, i really agree with you ! The Wish is speechless. I have the cd in France but i took it here in Canada because i remembered this piece makes me thrilled each time i listen to it ! McLaughlin is simply the greatest living guitarist. Shawn Lane was also a serious competitor but he died...He played things never heard before. And it is no accident Shawn was focusing on indian music just before he died.

The original Shakti was 30 years ago, again, 30 years. Why should they have to keep the same acoustic guitar/violin format. If music doesn't move on and progress it becomes a museum piece. Love the past shakti and love the new.

Shakti, 'Reformed' as Remember Shakti, for a series of concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of India's independence. L.Shankar was asked but refused and was replaced by Hariprasad Chaurasia. IMO 'the wish'off the album is the greatest thing JM has ever played. That was 9 years ago, HC was replaced by U.Shrinivas and then Shankar joined. Point is: it's a fluid progression over time not "lets modernise it"

I play guitar/mandolin myself. Having Synth into mix allows one to alter what is called ADSR envelope of guitar and helps play the instrument faster. (One can read about it on the net - there is enough info out there.) That's why I do not like JM using it as he should not have to rely on synths to play fast. Shrinivas on the other hand is quite consistant and plays in sonic speed without any synth gimmicks.

@rhitamd First, I never said that Shankar was the only best singer in India. I am very well aware that there are a lot of other good singers in India. Secondly, Whether Shankar is lesser/greater than other band members in Shakti is a non-issue to me because each member has his own unique instrument/style to bring to the table, and Shankar effectively brings out the vocals. Thirdly, shankar has a wide repertoire in vocals (ghazals, bhaav geet, classical, fusion, rap, etc). So no one like him!

There's something about the acoustic string that evokes the human voice and soul - the qwawali vocals make up for it - but I agree with Anderson2000 - John bends and phrases nylon acoustics amazingly and is much more subdued without them - and the violin is obsessively present in Indian music - he's missed that specific cultural evocation - but this is stunningly beautiful nevertheless - shame about the strings...
@janderson2000

uh...they're basically doing traditional indian raga...that's their thing. If they wanted to "modernize" it, *gag* then they should have called it the New Shakti...or Electric Shakti...and not "Remember Shakti," because they certainly weren't the Shakti I remember. I don't want to see a Genesis reunion with them scratching records on turntables either. And besides, the violins were COMPLETELY missing. If they couldn't get Shankar, they should have gotten somebody.

Regarding guitar tone - sometime in the 90's he started using some effect with his johnny smith that sounded sour. What I could figure is that he was trying to sound like Miles' trumpet. Sometimes highly acclaimed artists'egos grow and lead to them losing taste. Taste is everything for an artist. He seems to have lost alot of it in recent years. Such a horrid guitar tone (W/ the defrancesco group)is a perfect example.
