I know you copied it off of some web page, but man: I really like that live
album!

Thanks for not holding my feet to the fire! To tell the truth, I seem to remember it as being OK, but at one point, during my post-college days when times were tight and the rent was due, I think that is one of the albums that went to the used record store for $$$.

Well, make that $.

Cheers,
Jon

I guess I was 13 or 14 when it came out so I guess there's a
bit of nostalgia about Mahavishnu for me. I think
the school library had a copy of Birds of Fire that
got me interested. I still pull 'em out once in a while
and check them out.
