Improvising in my room some time ago on this fantastic John McLaughlin composition “Miles Beyond”, up ahead of one our tours. What a piece that is. I love so much of what the title can imply or embody too, of course in a positive sense. Let’s just go miles beyond everything we know, all we’ve achieved before, our capacity for loving, for tolerance and for being the best we can be. Miles Beyond our musical improvisational ties and habits - break old habits, formats, templates and look for and create new ones. To go miles beyond the imagination we’ve since realised to be available to us. Many permutations there to that title for me. Oh ... and there’s also the fact the 4th Dimension will tour again in Europe in April. This wonderful band we all love, with the ever inspirational John at the helm. My vote is to again have this song back in the set!! I love it very much. Thank you all those inspirations part and present.

Nice simple tune, I’m shocked this didn’t make the pop charts in ‘71 #weirdwednesday #waybackwednesday Got inspired to take this baby off the shelf after #playitloud (see last post) & also having recently picked up #innermountingflame on original vinyl. Pardon the tuning- 12 strings are feisty (& even the original track isn’t quite in tune)... Suddenly the most complex parts of Testament and even AST seem much easier! #mahavishnuorchestra #johnmclaughlin #TheDanceOfMaya #gibsondoubleneck #gibsonsg
Birds of Fire by John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra. Arguably, this is Mahavishnu’s best album. Everyone was at a high point here, with McLaughlin, Hammer and Goodman weaving melodies around Cobham and Lairds elastic rhythm section. Fusion doesn’t get much better than this. UK original with textured sleeve and orange “walking eye” label, CBS 65321 from 1973.
