Through a stroke of luck, Mahavishnu happened to be playing at the school. I was there early and got a great position for the concert, right in front of where John McLaughlin would be playing. When the show started, he looked at the other guys, nodded his head down, pushed the guitar neck down, and the whole band started playing this crazy shimmering chord. Then they played The Inner Mounting Flame. That was incredible.” – Steve Morse, Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple
