Thanks, now I finally know for sure how to pronounce "McLaughlin" correctly - from the man himself!

One of the best concerts I have ever seen. Here in DC in 2004, I had a great seat next to the sound engineer, packed with like 95% Indian people. Women were all dressed up gorgeous like it was a Royal event. The rhythm boss was selva with his lizard tambourine that sounded like Panteras double kick drums. Got to meet John and shake his hand after the show. Definitely going to see this one!!!

They'coming to Montreux. John comes every year I think, even when he doesn't play. He's a very accessible and nice guy. I talked with him a few years ago when I met him by the lake.
I'll probably go, but I choosed to se Plant and Krauss, and Nick cave. And now I'm broke :(

Tour dates just came out. August 23 Wolftrap around these parts.

Nice to hear violin in the mix again. Mclaughlin shredding as fast as ever on the first tune in 11, with a much edgier tone than years ago when he revived the group with a jazz guitar. It will be even better than 50 years of metal with Priest I just saw this year.

Here is the original band member Vikku jamming on this old tune in 11 (8+3). He is the guy on the far right’s dad.

The way I keep track is I think of a single compas of tangos, then a bar of 3/4 for nothing.
