One of, if not the, greatest fusion bands, maybe the greatest band of all time. John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman and Rick Laird. This is one of their great live tunes, "The Noonward Race", the best version of which was actually issued on the obscure Mar Y Sol Pop Festival release in 1972. And somewhere there are the full tapes, and film most likely, of that show, buried in a vault somewhere. The version here is from the BBC in 1972. Billy Cobham just explodes through this number.
