I have also Live at Donte's of Luc and it's OK, but nothing more.

 

The first Mahavishnu Orchestra is THE Mahavuishnu Orchestra. This said, I have to pay hommage to Ponty. His albums with McLaughlin are wonderful, and his solo production is amazing. My first Ponty album was Live; nowadays I use to carry with me a good compilation (the very best of, I think), because I must agree with the guy above that said that, at some extent, his albums are very similar (late seventies, of course).

It's not the same playing style IMO. Ponty is more melodic and fluent, while Goodman is more energic and strident.

That is why i like him.

One word fom Birds of fire is the example.

True , the music was much different the BOT or IMF than when Ponty got in MO,

but I must say that I prefer the Goodman years

 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Fables and Civilized Evil are my faves.  I am freaked out that Randy Jackson played with him.  I never knew that connection.
