By, Stellan ”Iry” Viking / on The Scen with S.I.V. is Albert Wiking & Johan Edgren !!!
John will always be my hero. He’s never been scared to do what he wanted despite it not always being trendy. Shakti was amazing to me and he can outpick most shredders.
McLaughlin, Cobham and Hellborg do everything that is the promise and genius of jazz-fusion here. Funky, fluid, on fire. JM is one of the very few who managed to get a decent sound from a guitar synth.
still love it!
Awesome sound quality
😂🤣😂😂
Killer musicians
Interesting, strange and rare video merci.....
trés génial ,on en viendrait a jouer les arpèges :"oiseaux "d 'olivier messiaen dans ce style là .
Спасибо 😊
I love John and really enjoy experimentation. Clearly, he jams on the synclavier guitar but I have only one objection: it doesn't sound like a guitar. This was the big thing in the 80's and he and Metheny, and to some extent, Di Meola, embraced this I am kind of glad the phase is over. Some of this is from the 1984 Mahavishnu CD and it is solid work to be sure. Sorry to be a critic here, I just like a guitar to sound like a guitar.
Its not a 'Synclavier guitar" . It is the Roland G-303 with a Synclavier remote controller ( small narrow black box mounted to the guitar body ) which changes that keyboard's programs and filters.The Synclavier unit sits offstage out of view. . The Roland G-303 and later 808 guitars were made in the 1980s by FujiGen in Japan for Roland's guitar synth and are very high quality guitars much sought after and extremely rare now. They are in the $2500 range if you can find one for sale. I have the G 303 with the Roland GR 300 synth unit. Same setup as Pat Methany uses. Remember JM has been playing for many decades constantly expanding horizons, Pat M not as long BUT For a guitarist to be able to further expand their sound, these guitar synths were a way to do that. btw the Roland guitars can be played 'normally ' without any synth module and are extremely capable !
@@optimus163 Ah, thanks for the correction. I still like when a guitar sounds like a guitar but occasionally it has its charm.
Yeah really😅 a guitar must sound as one guitar but then it was time for new experiences.
I have no problem if the tone is similar to Keith Emerson on “Lucky Man” or “Trilogy.” However, these tone is cheesy! For arguably the greatest guitarist on the planet to go for this tone following his blistering Mahavishnu daze, is blasphemy😢
@@xprophet9 I don’t think the tones hold up all that well… But this is like 40 years ago.
'Shreds' video without being a shreds video.
Roland G300, it's about a half second delayed or less ? They are more interesting for Guitar players or should I say Virtuoso, saw JM and Hellborg just dueling for more than half the show in 87 or 86' Mahavishnu at the Greek LA, it was awesome😮
Yeah, but it was more like down to a few milliseconds of latency as it's known in the digital era, which is still well in the boundaries of playable even by virtuosos. Now what Roland did back then getting down to those numbers is beyond comprehension! And if John McLaughlin plays one while smiling you can rest assured it ... works! :D
Interesting but so quiet I could barely make it out!
great bass player!!
@7:07 Sounds like somebody spilled their beer! 😅🍺
LOL I thought it was in my own house!!! Best joke ever.
something special
Such an amazing trio if progressive jazz fusion artists! All just diving head-first, and balls-deep into those melodic grooves. Folks ask. What is Progressive fusian? My best answer is, play what inspires you, and play what is melodic to you. Every measure, every turn-around/repeat, should have a new melodic, and structured groove, that pulls the entire song together... no matter how many beats per measure. the two main aspects are groove, and melody.
nice to see but no sound
It has some great qualaties, but not to hear some clavier sounds or the french horn etc. you might as well have Jan Hammer or you know what I mean😅
He is using the infamous roland synth guitar. Page had a similar one.
And Metheny
The sound is terrible, looks like it was filmed with a cell phone from a flat screen TV.
I think he is working within the limitations of the early guitar synthesizer which did not track very well but it would have been nice to have mixed in under the synth a nice sustaining guitar sound
Peace ☮️
No. That sound he’s producing with the guitar really is getting on my nerves
I love John but his choice to play that "dumb box" was an intentional slap in the face to fans! He should have just let it rip, but I understand, "art!"
Seeing McLaughlin play in front of a mural of a naked lady is a little strange..
Incredible musicianship but not my favorite era when John was playing the guitar synth.
C'est La France, oh la la 😋 that synthesized guitar is also not my flavor.
Yes, and all those immobile stiffs in suits and gowns sitting in the round behind the band made me think of Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut". Neigh creepy! (Ahhhh the '80s. Good times... damn good times! 😄😉)
@@sandytrunks Good times but yeah, for McLaughlin coming from his whole Sri Chinmoy religion trip to that stage setting strikes me as being creepy.
@@teiltje true......a big Le Pew
Guitar midi
Pat metheny
In my experience, I've never fully enjoyed a gig when in a french audience. They huff and puff at you when you cheer, whistle or make a loud humorous comment!
You’re right, we French do not know much about music in general, and jazz in particular. Must be why a score of (black) jazzmen settled in France after WW2. Nobody really paid attention to them around here…
@diogene2210 I didn't say the french don't know anything about music in general, which is why they sent (white) musicians to the USA before ww2. They practically invented jazz!
I was just saying that they make a very boring, stiff audience .... albeit a discerning, respectable, politically correct one!
@@naderzekrya5238 Just shut up.
Sockubla
WTF?
Ils sont payés pour ça ?
Bah oui Dugland.
Billy still sounds and looks cool to this day. The other two... well...
...The other two are thoroughly enjoying themselves regardless!
@@robinstokes5179 indeed, they are.
