Here’s what I know. I saw Remember Shakti, which had the exact same personnel, in 2003 and they were hot stuff and super amazing.
Zakir, who was in all editions of Shakti, died not long after this tour and it’s nice to be reminded of how great he was (and all the others too), and John sounds really just as amazing as always and truly stunningly great for an 80-something year old man.
“Mind Explosion is a rapturous celebration of the life, music, and humanity of Zakir Hussain – not just McLaughlin’s original partner in Shakti, but a brother and inspiration to every past and present member of Shakti – who passed away in December 2024. “I am eternally grateful to Zakir,” McLaughlin reflects, “because he was there before the beginning of Shakti to the very end.”
