| Notes | 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 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 |
