John McLaughlin and the One Truth Band 1979-06-18 Santa Monica Civic Center; Santa Monica, CA ; re-worked rm (FLAC)
This is a very nice recording from the 2nd version of John McLaughlin's One Truth Band. It's at the time they were touring to promote the terrific Electric Dreams album (one of my personal favorites out of his entire catalog). 4 songs played here are from that. The short version of where this fits in the John McLaughlin canon is that John went acoustic with Shakti after 3 distinct versions of the Mahavishnu Orchestra wrapped things up in the summer of 1975. After 3 excellent Shakti albums, the "all star guests" Johnny McLaughlin Electric Guitarist album was recorded and released. That gave birth to the first One Truth Band and gigs played in the summer of 1978. By later that year the original rhythm section of T.M. Stevens and Woody "Sonship" Theus was replaced with one that came over from the Jan Hammer Group, Fernando Saunders and Tony "Thunder" Smith. Stu Goldberg was a holdover from One Truth v.1 (and the final 70's Mahavishnu Orchestra), and Weather Report alum Alyrio Lima was added in on percussion. None of this lasted long, though, because John and Stu Goldberg were off later that year to European gigs with Jack Bruce and Billy Cobham. Those shows included some of this Electric Dreams material.
You'll hear a bit more depth and detail, and, thanks to goody, it's all now running at the proper speed.

Goody's Notes:
Huge thanks are due to flambay for his help with the pitch correction offset and set list IDs. This work would not have gone as smoothly as it did without his contributions! Of course, without the source provided by Ricola, none of this would have been possible, once this incredible music was laid down 44 years ago... And thanks to TomP who put the finishing touches on it, making sure what you're hearing is properly in phase and focused. This rare show has been something I've been looking for for a long time. Big thanks always to the tapers and archivists! (2011-11-29)

Notes: (probably the late show)
IOU at this time, didn't have a record label, but did have much of the material for what would become the Metal Fatigue album. You'll hear references to that in the stage talk, and you may notice some slight differences in the songs to how they'd appear on that recording. They're still playing material from the first IOU album and Road Games as well. As an eeklair note from his 2009 share says, "That's one helluva setlist." Despite his troubles with the "music biz", which he never satisfactorily sorted out, Allan had a lot of exposure at this time. He had his devotees from the 70's via Soft Machine, Tony Williams, Bruford, etc., and they were now joined in the early 80's by the "shredders" who knew how highly Eddie Van H esteemed him. This show will be a fine opportunity to hear how great this band, and Allan's music, was at this point in time.

Notes:
Here's a PMG soundboard that contains 4 tracks used in the PMG Companion II, with which some folks might be familiar. They were Broadway Blues, It's For You, Jaco, and American Garage. This complete show definitely has circulated, as it appears in several etree lists, although it hasn't popped up on any torrent site in recent memory. That's what led me to finally grab this copy, when I did a recent file folder trade with Alan M, who's evidently still active in that etree world. Many thanks to him for sending this over. PMG fans will know that there's a relative wealth of sbd's from the early days of the group, and there are at least a half dozen from mid July of 1982 alone. The set played here generally mirrors what you may be familiar with from those other boots. The PMG were still touring the Offramp album and playing a good bit of that, along with some earlier material-including some things they never formally recorded. They also starting to add in some of the material that would first show up officially on the Travels album. This is a fine recording, and the lineage Alan M had included in our swap is pasted in below. I did have this open in Audacity and did some very minor re-tracking. As this is being prepped, Pat's currently on tour with Side Eye III, and hopefully some new captures from this current tour might soon appear here. In the meantime, here's a really nice memento from earlier days for Pat (and maybe a few others now reading this). Thanks again, to those who've moved these recordings along for the rest of us to enjoy.

Notes (Progressive Rock Remaster Project):
A Brief Encounter
The Year was 1978. The disco beat of the Bee Gees had invaded America, punk rock was raging in Britain and Europe, and things were changing fast on the music scene. Progressive rock bands that had dominated the seventies were now labeled DINOSAURS by the new generation of music fans and quickly started to fade away. Big money was now ruling the music industry and established giants such as Yes, Genesis and even Pink Floyd had to come up with hits just to stay alive. Yet, in the midst of this great musical upheaval, a new band appeared, out of nowhere it seemed, holding the progressive torch very high. This band’s name was UK and their eponymous first album had just been released through EG records. New band, formidable music style and a few familiar names. Who were these guys, and where did they come from?
Bill Bruford, by far the most well known name of the four, began his career with the band Yes in the late sixties. In 1972 he left Yes to join King Crimson where he first meets and works with John Wetton. After three very productive years in K.C. and Robert Fripp’s still highly debated decision to fold the band, Bill lends a helping hand to his old Yes band-mate Steve Howe with his solo album, then joined Genesis for the 1976 A Trick Of The Tail tour. In 1977, Bruford collaborates with Allan Holdsworth on his first solo album Feels Good To Me which is released in August 1977, after U.K. had formed.
John Wetton, another quite familiar name, started out in a band called Family in 1971. After two albums with them he moved on to King Crimson. When K.C. disbanded in 1974, John joined Roxy Music where he met Eddie Jobson for the second time, the latter having joined K.C. briefly in 1975. Wetton also played briefly with Uriah Heep during that time. Then, after helping his old Roxy Music band-mate Brian Ferry with his solo album In Your Mind in 1977, John was ready to form U.K.
Allan Holdsworth was well known as a jazz-fusion guitarist. Before his work with U.K. he played with Jean-Luc Ponty for the Enigmatic Oceans and Voyage albums. Prior to that, he had worked with Soft Machine and Gong. His first experience with his future U.K. band-mates was playing guitar for Bill Bruford's first solo album in 1977.
Eddie Jobson has played keyboard and violin for many progressive rock and jazz-fusion groups. Prior to the formation of U.K. he was best known for his work with Roxy Music but also worked with Curved Air, Andy Mackay, Brian Ferry, Roger Glover, Dana Gillespie and Mike Heron. In 1975 he appeared on the King Crimson album USA where he added some overdubs. On this occasion, he first met with Bill Bruford and John Wetton, whom he would join in UK nearly three years later.
U.K.'s first album was recorded at Trident studios in London during December 1977 and January 1978. A quite extensive World tour followed. UK’s first performance was April 29, 1978 at Southampton University. In the summer of 1978, the band toured Canada and the US, including Toronto and Philadelphia. Both shows presented here as a special PrrP package. At both concerts, many of the songs from their first album were performed as extended length versions with long instrumental segments added to accentuate the grand musicianship. Odd time signatures and stellar cohesiveness were the hallmarks of U.K.’s music and are clearly present during these shows. It is too bad that this particular UK line-up stayed together for only one year.
Enjoy!

Here is an uncirculated soundboard recording, capturing the Mahavishnu Orchestra concert in Detroit at the Masonic Temple during their Birds Of Fire tour in 1973. Not even an audience recording of this show has circulated previously. It's worth mentioning that the band did also play at two other Detroit venues earlier in the year, so this recording should not be confused with those. This tape was in fact specifically dated, revealing it to be what is undoubtedly the holy grail for Mahavishnu collectors: this was the final show performed by the original incarnation of the band, which split up after months of growing tensions. With John McLaughlin being the sole survivor of the band split, many fans will tell you that while perfectly talented, the future incarnations had the sound and feel of a completely different band. The December 30th 1973 date has been said to effectively mark the end of one of the greatest bands of the early 1970s.

I suggested to LDB to fix it, but he inverted both of the channels in his updated version (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...d.php?t=224894), so the channels of his updated torrent were still phase-inverted relative to each other. I explained the issue to LDB again and he indicated that it would be best if I torrented the fix this time to make sure that it's right. I then torrented it earlier today (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...d.php?t=224985) but both LDB's incorrect 2nd torrent and the actually fixed version were mistakenly banned. However, the mods made a note that it was ok to reupload the actually fixed version and I am doing so here.

Notes:
For this tour, Triumvirat played their entire "Illusions On A Double Dimple" album.
Taper/Transfer: Freezer audience record.
Small cut in t06 about 31:30 into the show (perhaps it was not 90min but a 60min tape that needed a flip?). Some crackles and minor tape problems from time to time but overall an excellent recording.
