Whoah! Didn't know about this release. I saw the original Mahavishnu Orchestra 4 or 5 times during their original run. The first time was on Boston Common. Loggins & Messina opened. L&M were good, but I remember Jim Messina with his mouth wide open, jaw on the floor, watching Mahavishnu.
That would have been me (Messina). never got to see this configuration. this version is sharper than the YT boots -- still not sure if it's an official release or not. this label put out another M live from 72 and has a catalog of reissues that looks legit. could be "grey market"??? weird wild west times rn!
Saw Mahavisnu twice in one day that year: aftrernoon outdoors at Syracuse Unversity and that evening at Colgate University (my alma mater). Mind blowing.

I was 17, & terrified.
