This nearly complete recording, sourced from a soundboard tape leaked by insiders, captures the Mahavishnu Orchestra’s December 30, 1973, Detroit concert—the final live performance by John McLaughlin’s original lineup. This marks the final live performance by the ultimate lineup—featuring Jan Hammer, Rick Laird, Jerry Goodman, and Billy Cobham. While another Detroit show from that year is known to exist, this December 30th finale—the tour’s closing concert—is making its debut release!
