Of all the many configurations J. McL has played in, this "Heart of Things" line up is one of my all time faves! Some droids complained J. McL didn't solo enough. I think he was somewhat influenced by Weather Report's ensemble playing where the entire band runs through extended arrangements together vs. just solo'ing over chords. And of course, like Miles, he was influenced compositionally as well as the spirit of Duke Ellington. Everyone on this tour is a monster in their own right - Jim Beard - kb, Gary Thomas - sax, Matthew Garrison - bs. (son of Jimmy Garrison, Coltrane's bass player), Mr. DC - Dennis Chambers - perf. and the Maestro, J. McL. It's so great to be able to see these concerts live with great sound. God Bless You Tube!
All the musicians are amazing and solo phenom...but I would like a bit more Solo from the grand master him self I must admit..Thanks for info, fascinating.
Agree, in fact this is probably my favorite JM band since the original Mahavishnu Orchestra line up. Another one I really dig was his short lived 1994 Trio project, The Free Spirits - w/ Dennis Chambers and Joey DeFrancesco. Their live at Blue Note Tokyo is an amazing record.
Tu es une vraie encyclopédie ,je suis aussi un vrai fan de jazz fusion..miles etc.. j'ai découvert dernièrement une bassiste (Mohini Dey) Elle va cartonner.
Dennis the menace on the drum set. Grooves that define a genre, and solos that make you wonder if he's been genetically enhanced lol. Mclaughlin's playing here and his whole life's work is something to really admire.
hoLee SHIt! This is outstanding stuff.... I have all these old LP's in crates still! Young people.... LISTEN...... you are seeing the one of the best drummers EVER. They all look like they are having a ball...
once more on youtube: the mastery of dennis chambers! those single hand sixteenths on the ride are ballistic, i love them!! but that's the first time i see him play a three piece kit ;-)
Hart of things! What an album! What a line up! John's sound in this period with the Johnny Smith guitar was SOO good! This music still makes me happy after more than 20 years! Dear John THANKS!
To have a band like this with great skilled, disciplined, well trained musicians.... is something only Masters like John Mc Laugling, Chick Corea, Frank Zappa, and few others could afford in the past, and I don't see anyone for the future right now.
One of my favourite pieces of all time. When I play it on my drums either with others or all alone I am transportted to a whole new realm. It seems to feed my soul, my intellect and my physical health. Some of this jazz stuff is quite the workout on a kit of drums.
I saw this Tour in Cambridge U.K ~ The Band were held up in a traffic jam and arrived late, crowd ushered out of the hall so they could Soundcheck. I watched them run through a couple of numbers through a window in the door. Crowd let back in. John seemed unhappy and uncomunicative, and I swear they ran through the tunes real fast so much so that it was hard to grasp what they were doing, (going through the motions at hyperspeed?) I'm greatfull for this upload to get a grip on what I missed!
What a brilliant concert, this is true musicianship. I have seen JMcL with 4th Dimension live @ Leverkusener Jazztage in 2012, and he hasn't lost the slightest bit of his aura...
Une de mes préférences d'associations de musiciens avec John McLaughlin ...Fabuleux et je le recommande comme exemplaire et réussi à souhait avec ses silence et discontinuité pleines d"érotisme sonores ...THANK'ssssssss
That's got to be the smallest kit Dennis has played since he was a kid. And it's lovely to see the legendary Jimmy Garrison's son Matthew holding it down with great style.
Totalement, son unique. Adulé par john mclaughlin et Herbie Hancock. Il a fait parti du collectif M-Base (steve Coleman, David Gilmore (à ne pas confondre avec D. Gilmour 😅) , Cassandra Wilson). Ce mouvement a ouvert une voie très créative, surprenante. Malheureusement j'ai l'impression que dans les générations de musiciens qui ont suivis, personne n'a pris le chemin ouvert par M-Base.
Gary Thomas - sax, flute Dennis Chambers - drums magnificos, que pena no hizo mas música asi, me hace acordar a Mahavishnu pero mas refinado con to Miles Davis.
Dors anyone know the set up for John's tone in this band? It fits the style like a glove, thick... There's some kind of chorus... Same set up when he played with Dennis and deFrancesco. Love the tone of those records
When I heard groovemaster Dennis played the late 1980 Mahavishnu reformat it sounded interesting. Never was much Mahavishnu fan in 70s. Jim Beard I probably knew his style an Matt the pedigreed bassist from Herbie's future2future video. This group is slamming! I did like Johnny McLaughlin Electric Guitarist LP 70s so the man is a Master.
liebe 3sat Regie: das Instrument was aussieht wie eine große E-Gitarre mit 5 Saiten heißt E-Bass und wird in dem Fall von dem großartigen Matt Garrison gespielt, den man auch namentlich erwähnen sollte. Bei 30min hat er ein Solo, wäre schön wenn man ihn da auch mal länger im Bild hätte und nicht die Begleitakkordhand von McLaughlin. Naja, Jazz, das unbekannte Wesen :-)
Yes I agree. Scofield, while a master, saw him with Adam Nussbaum on drums back in '87, that sound tends to give me listener fatigue. mJohnny Mac just always seems so alive. Remember "Electric Dreams, Electric Sighs". But I agree. Thanks for your insight dude. Quite smart.

RIP GREAT JIM BEARD ❤
John M. has been one of my principle musical heroes since 1973. The dude just keeps on growing and perfecting his ever innovating approaches - amazing
Same here!
Such a level of abstraction in improvisation... a very very exotic flavor! Kinda like eating colors!
Love that description!
Beautifully put!
🎶 musical trip 🍄 ....
Mr. Thomas is such a great Saxophone players!
he is the beginning of a new era and entirely new approach to the instrument. he has escaped the limitations of the instrument,
I saw this live and it was way over my head. It isn't now its mind-blowing.
I saw this band…..amazing! Cherish the memory!
0:00 - The Divide
13:46 - Social Climate
23:42 - Mr. D.C.
37:27 - Fallen Angels
44:34 - Acid Jazz
Thank you!
God bless you Vladan . This is very helpful.!

Yes, but I prefer with Otmaro on KB (featured on the disc live in Paris)
All the musicians are amazing and solo phenom...but I would like a bit more Solo from the grand master him self I must admit..Thanks for info, fascinating.
Totally agree! The sound and the composition of “T.H.O.T.T.” Album are the Highest Level or JML production

if i was taken to this concert as a kid i would have learned so much..
Dennis Chambers ruled the entire universe in the 90s.
Convisis without question the best in that decade.
and still is
ronald bruner jr stole that one this decade
Paul Atreides. um somewhat i will give u that but.. eric moore took some of that too
what you know bout my nephew!!!? Beast!!!

High level harmony, rhythm concept and great melody with dexterity.
Nice concert
I love that song! Jim Beard is an unsung hero too - I love his music.
I love this - especially the digital keyboards 😁

I watched the whole concert.
Lots of colors, textures...just a sublime experience.
John is a father of all, how many musicians played whit him whith feelings that feed your heart...let him go it's free
Jim Beard is truly amazing.
they blew the tops off of the Swabians that day!! I love this performance, one of my favorites!!! Best lineup ever.
That's a crazy guitar tone at end, among JMs many, and i fear to read the comment upon it - but I love it
Came for John , found Dennis the Monster and Jim the Genius - great show!!!
Great sound he's getting on the hollow body. you can hear every plucked/picked note!
Mind blowing literally!
That is a Ring Modulator! YEAH!
What a brilliant concert, this is true musicianship. I have seen JMcL with 4th Dimension live @ Leverkusener Jazztage in 2012, and he hasn't lost the slightest bit of his aura...
Dear J.M.
Your keyboard player is badass

Fantastic improve from all!!Mc Laughlin is amazing in phrasing and outside playing.Love The Heart Of Things.Great cd!!
Pure magic start to finish.Thanks for sharing...
I think Gary Thomas has to be one of the Top 5 things that ever happened to this planet. Brutally honest. Eloquent. No bullshit whatsoever.

J, McL & Company laid a lot of the framework back then what you hear yesterday! I would of said today! But, We know how lousy Today is!
Totally agree.
Gary Thomas - sax, flute Dennis Chambers - drums magnificos, que pena no hizo mas música asi, me hace acordar a Mahavishnu pero mas refinado con to Miles Davis.
Nice. Made getting through work today a lot easier.
Wonderful! Great music! 👍👍👍
Garrison...EXTREMELY "UNDERRATED"!
And cheated out of his camera time!
@@ricaard He is not even written in the opening credits!!!
@@vladimirsandtner4438 it was a CRIME!
Jim Beard citing Happy birthday to you. Sweet.
When Dennis plays, the sounds take a trail infinite
That's Matthew Garrison on bass, son of Jimmy Garrison (Coltrane's bassist in the classic quartet)
アルバム「The Heart of Things」は、マクラフリンのアルバムの中で一番好きかもしれない。
I agree....
John McLaughlin Live 1998
Somewhere around (58:00), John's really in the zone. He's clearly at his peak here.
Dors anyone know the set up for John's tone in this band? It fits the style like a glove, thick... There's some kind of chorus... Same set up when he played with Dennis and deFrancesco. Love the tone of those records
Masterful performance by all!
Jim Beard song! Cool performance!
Superbe concert !!
Lots of chewing gum was harmed in the making of this video...
Que dire de mieux que ... respect Maestro 🎉
Hahah,John starts bringing in the " miles beyond " chords. Lol,the games they be playing :D
32:37 Best bass solo I've ever heard!
+Hyper Oh Yeh! Matt Garisson is a monster!!
AND CAMERAMEN WITH DIRECTOR ARE SLEEPING...
@@vladimirsandtner4438 it's clear, inadmissible
@@justepierre7330 He is not even written in the opening credits!!!
Thank you.
Dennis Chambers on the last tune !!!!!
Supremely fantastic!
awesome man, thanks uploading this!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
anything with dennis chambers is awesome
Excelente!!!
I want to hear Mclaughlin sing.
his guitar sings for him....
LOL
There's an official live in Paris but this one's much better
That bebop tune was insane.
Where is that in the concert?
Totally agree, we are past that, even during the late 90's.
@2:30 "Are you the one?" quote/call. Matt Garrison smiles. Musicians.
Beard and McLaughlin quoting Happy Birthday, Gary Thomas quoting All The Things You Are.. and that is just in one song. Who's birthday was it anyway?

JM sounding very fluid, reminds me of his Extrapolation days
thanks .
Matthew Garrison is awesome bass player.
Que banda hay ahí 👍👏🎶🎧🎷🎸🥁
Check out Ronald Bruner Jr,!!! A Beast!! Hey Nephew!!!
Awesome!

Great Fusion Jazz Right there.
Love the music
Yes indeed!!
I like John,s solo at 19.20
Bjørn Hjartnes man! He’s burning on that one!
buenisimo.....
That groove that starts around 8:50...priceless!
Really insane playing. Gotta' love that tone as well. Proud being the 666th like. ;)

did they give Matt garrison credit on bass
I didn't see his name
Hello, have you forgotten the sublime recording named TonyWilliamsLifetime/Emergenc/sy? Dag
Good is good .....
C'mon John....get the 80's MAHAVISHNU and THE HEART OF THINGS....LIVE on C.D.
all this stuff hiding in a vault somewhere....
Agree... The 1984 album is virtually impossible to find. Major rights issues with both I think.
1 million yes....
This is off the chain ,off the hook 😮…….Lefuj…….❤☮️
gold
Mr DC = Dennis Chambers ?
show!!!
True, True... Gary Thomas on sax/ security.
いい感じ😃サンキュー😆💕✨
Oh yeah!!!
Anyone knows the name of the first song? What a great song!!!
'The Divide', written by Gary Thomas.
🔥.!. .👊🏾🎧👊🏾. .!. 🔥
Matthew Garrison, son of the late Jimmy Garrison, who was a member of John Coltrane's influential quartet.
Anybody knows what that effect is when Matt Garrison seems to be vocalising into a mic while playing?
toute la majesté du ...Mahavishnu....
