chapters 1 > 4

Shakti in Viareggio Italy late April 1977 B&W video 28 mins is a mix of
A quality and B quality VHS tapes, the better quality video from a later
broadcast during the songs (India & Get Down and Sruti) was overlaid over
the B quality.
The first chapter is the band tuning up with an italian commentator talking so
I made it a seperate chapter the B quality video is last third of "India" all
of "Peace of Mind" and a very short middle section of "Get Down and Sruti"




chapter 5

John McLaughlin & L Shankar filmed in John's New York apartment in 1977
for a UK TV program the song is "Two Sisters" and John is also interviewed



chapter 6

John McLaughlin & Larry Coryell play the Shakti song "Lotus Feet" in
Martinique, Fort-de-France in the Caribbean in December 1980



chapter 7

John McLaughlin on the Paris TV show 'Le Grand Echiquier'
Sept 19, 1984 with Hariprasad Chaurasia, Zakir Hussein and Katia & Marielle
Labeque perform "When Blue Turns Gold" (Zakir has said this is the only time
they ever played the song live)




chapter 8 -- Music Without Boundries --

in 1997 as part of India's 50th anniversary of independence of British rule
John was asked to reform Shakti but both Shakti guitars had damaged necks
and L Shankar was not available, John on electric guitar played 4 concerts
in England (and possibly also a couple in europe) with Hariprasad Chaurasia and
Zakir Hussein and Vikku Vinayakram I think the group was billed as John McLaughlin
with special guests.
Later they were also asked to play in India and they added Benedik Hofseth
they played a concert in Oslo Norway some of it was a FM broadcast and the
working title of the group was 'Music Without Boundries' in Bombay india
December 1997 they handed out some xassette tapes at the concert of a rehearsal.

in the video you can see on the wall a banner with their 'Music Without Boundries'
title on it the video only has snippets of the concert and short interviews and a
longer interview by TV sjow host Sanjna Kapoor with John McLaughlin,
it's not known if this line up played any more concerts


**** NOTE **** there does exist an audience filmed video of the Bombay 1997
concert a reliable source told me a One Word list member with the initials
..r..o..d....s..i..b..l..e..y.... has a copy maybe a OW list member who trades
with him can get him to trade it now as it's nearly 11 years since the concert and
a few Shakti fans would still like to see it




chapter 9 -- Peshkar --

Larry Coryell with 3 original Shakti members formed Peshkar in 1987 but it only
lasted for a short time they play the song "Sally" on unknown UK TV show while
on tour in England in December 1987 Anthony Hindson sat in with the group

Trivia : in 1982 Larry Coryell filled in for John McLaughlin on a Shakti tour
of India when John broke his arm playing squash as the tour was about to start







DVD-cover has offered to make a cover and will post it
in the comments section
