Formed by John McLaughlin in 1971, this band pioneered the fusion of jazz elements into rock music while still undeniably retaining the power and muscle of a full-on rock band. With McLaughlin as the ever-present, the line-up went through various phases and these 2 concerts from Montreux showcase the band at distinctively different times of their career, with the 1974 show featuring later stars Jean-Luc Ponty and Michael Walden, and the 1984 concert featuring saxophonist Bill Evans. Visual footage only exists of 3 tracks from the 1974 show (although this is still over 73 minutes of footage) but the other tracks exist as audio masters and they have been added as bonus material.
