Mahavishnu Orchestra Live at The Jabberwocky 1971 04 11 Syracuse NY Earliest live recording!!

This is THE earliest live (available) recording of the Mahavishnu Orchestra known to exist. According to internet sources -- this was their 7th live performance. Most live recordings in existence are from the 72-73 years. The set list is interesting -- as despite this being such an early performance, it features a couple of tracks that weren't released until the second album.  Track 3 is called  "Dream", yet it sounds like it is an embryonic version of the actual live "Dream" recording released several years later. IMHO, that later live recording in its earliest vinyl version sounded awful to me -- just a wall of a sound. I assume by now that Between Nothingness & Eternity has been properly remastered.

I de-noised the show as best as possible but you can still hear a background hissing and low level distortion -- sorry about that. I excised excess blurbage & radio commercials at the end, EQ'd the recording to add more low end and a touch more high end. I also increased volume in some drop-outs as well as raised volume in the quieter sections that were very hard to hear. So this version of mine is THE best recording you can find and experience anywhere. I like my live recordings to make you feel like you are in a front row seat! Enjoy!

When you purchase a live, remastered show here on CD-R -- you are NOT buying the music itself or the performance. You are actually paying for my professional remastering services of aforesaid show(s). You are also paying for my graphic arts design time and associated materials supplied. This live music is relatively easy to procure free on the internet by savvy searches. But what you get via such means only gives a subpar and disappointing listen. When you compare my charges for remastering and graphic art design services to the going rate -- my prices are ridiculously inexpensive.
