Phil - I guess I'm just "old" ha ha - nothing to be jealous about!
I totally understand the "few years" back reference. It's amazing how quickly time flies, especially when a concert is etched in ones mind.
I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra Birds of Fire tour when I was in High School and that was over 40 years ago. I can still see McLaughlin clear as a bell... like it was yesterday.
Although Jaco's genius isn't present, I like the Alphonse Mouzon era of Weather Report too. Particularly Alphonse's bass line on Cucumber Slumber- it's an inventive lyrical hook I never tire of.
To me, on some Fusion stuff- the production and keyboard sounds don't age well, but it's still great music.
Have a great day- Jim
