The Mahavishnu Orchestra at the Masonic Auditorium in Detroit
May 6, 1974 at only the 5th concert of the world tour of the new line up of
Mahavishnu Orchestra promoting the Apocalypse LP, previous shows in
(Washington 5/1, Columbus 5/2, Cincinnati 5/3, Cleveland 5/4)

An audience recording on a mono recorder but quite good quality
one of the better tapes of this band the taper turned the tape off at the end
of songs to save tape and there are 2 tape flip / tape end breaks (1 near the end
of " Wings of Karma " there is a one second gap, and near the end of
" Hymn to Him " at 26 minutes a tape change missed a few minutes and
restarts just before the end there is also a one second gap to mark the break



** note ** John McLaughlin, Jean Luc Ponty, Narada Walden did perform the
song " Hymn to Him " at a concert on Febuary 21, 1974 in Buffalo with the Buffalo
Philharmonic with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting but so far no tapes have
surfaced on the inside gatefold of 'Electric Guitarist' LP there is a photo of
John McLaughlin holding the Rex Bogue double neck wearing a tuxedo taken
at that Buffalo concert.

is actually from this Detroit concert
