  It was a turning point for me at 71-72. Beatles had quit, Hendrix died. New exciting music emerged, Mahavishnu, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd made Meddle, Yes made Close to the Edge. Amazing music. We were so spoiled a few years with all the good albums from these groups.

  Billy Cobham blows away all competition. I've seen him at this energy level non stop for two friggin hours. He's a monster.

  When I was a senior in high school, our art teacher allowed us to bring in records to play during class. My classmates brought in Bob Dylan, Three Dog Night, Don McLean, etc. I brought in Birds of Fire. Many of my classmates thought I was nuts, but a few really liked it; most of them had no idea music like this existed. I still enjoy this band today.

  I didn't realize Jan Hammer was part of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Awesome! Jan Hammer and Jeff Beck produced some beautiful sounds together, as well.

  One of my favorite stories regarding this amazing band is that when they opened for Frank Zappa back in the early 70's, Zappa was so blown away and was determined to form a new group that included Chester Thompson, Ruth, and George Duke as a response to the power of Mahavishnu Orchestra. Imagine being a band that blew Frank Zappa's mind!

  Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, and Weather Report were the giants of fusion

  Geniuses to a man. Billy Cobham is in the pantheon of greatest drummers of all time.

  I first heard Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1975. I haven&apos;t recovered. These guys took music to another level.
