Long Play on The Nightside Share
Listen to Long Plays during the 11 o’clock hour of The Nightside with Andy O’…these special extensive compositions needed a deeper listen
This Sunday, Long Play on The Nightside features Miles Davis in concert just months before his unfortunate passing in 1991. As well as David Murray’s artful visitation of The Grateful Dead’s Dark Star and The Mahavishnu Orchestra album Apocalypse lauded by John McLaughlin as a favorite. Overlooked but not overheard.
Hymn to Him (19:17) is from the album “Apocalypse.”
The Mahavishnu Orchestra’s fourth album, released in 1974. It was performed by the second line-up of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra. It was produced by George Martin, who regarded it as “one of the best records I have ever made” McLaughlin felt it was “The real Mahavishnu Orchestra at its best”
