This approximately 79-minute live performance by John McLaughlin and his first Mahavishnu Orchestra, recorded on May 9, 1973, at the Morris A. Mechanic Theater in Baltimore, Maryland, features high-quality soundboard audio.
Featuring godlike performances by Jan Hammer, Billy Cobham and others, the setlist included the title track and "Open Country Joy" from the jazz-rock masterpiece "Firebird," released at the time, as well as four tracks from their first album, "The Hidden Flame." It was a truly magnificent performance.
