Awesome reunion of two members from the classic Mahavishnu Orchestra line-up. John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham had not played together since the split of Mahavishnu Orchestra. The two got together at Montreux Jazz Festival at the request of festival organizer Claude Nobs. Seems a band pulled out of the festival and Claude had a time slot to fill. He asked McLaughlin and Cobham if they would like to get together and play a couple Mahavishnu Orchestra tunes and they both agreed, to the joy of fans everywhere.
