"vishnu"= women.
selling women = prostitution and/or slavery.

according to:
http://label.abstractlogix.com/?page_id=79
which lists all known performances of the original
Reindeer of the Lord's Chariot from Heaven
(better known as the original "mahavishnu orchestra")
these are all the known Rhode Island concerts
performed by the original lineup mahavishnu orchestra from 1971-73:

Oct. 22, 1971- Brown Univ. Providence
Dec. 4, 1971- U.R.I. Kingston (supporting Blue Oyster Cult and the Byrds)
Jan. 28, 1972- Palace Theater, Providence
Dec. 2, 1972- Palace Theater, Providence (with Mott the Hoople)
May 20, 1973 Civic Center, Providence
these are not necessarily all that they played in R.I. but
all that are known to this info source.
it's quite likely that this is from one of these dates.
wolfgang's vault does not list any of the above shows,
in their list of shows they have available,
or any other mahavishnu shows from Rhode Island.
so this is a missing page from the bible of Psalms
book of John (and cobby ham), chapter three, or four,
that may have been lost in 2013 superstorm Sandy,
(or hurricane Katrina, another superstorm).
