A while back, myself and Mark Case loosely matched 15 minutes of 8mm amateur film of the Mahavishnu Orchestra on 11/5/73 at Milwaukee – which I’d kindly been given access to by the chap who had filmed it, Rich Zimmermann – to same-period (but not same show) audio of ‘The Dance of Maya’, which was clearly the tune being played for much of the silent audio.
For years, someone on eBay had been asking $10,000 or something ridiculous like that for the only other known bit of Mahavishnu amateur film, 12 minutes from Chicago, 18/2/73. Someone recently bought it and matched almost all of it exactly with soundboard audio of the same show. Tremendous stuff. Here it is. 🙂
