This tune written by McLaughlin, “One Word”, was later broken up and recorded as two tunes on Mahavishnu Orchestra’s Birds of Fire album. The first part (where Jack sings) became “Resolution” and the middle part break of repeated riffs was used one “One Word” on Birds of Fire release. One last question - what the heck happened to McLaughlin between this time period with Williams, and after his Devotion release - wherein he essentially supernova exploded with his Mahavishnu Orchestra fame? My guess is this: 1. Perhaps his years of LSD use which he stopped before forming the Mahavishnu Orchestra 2. Influences from his stint with Miles Davis who taught him to play “far in” and let go of what he knew of guitar playing 3. Practicing his religious slant with Sri Chinmoy and thus believing “God” was playing through him 4. Having picked exactly the right jazz/rock musicians to embark on a new direction in jazz and rock - which the music industry dubbed fusion
@@murillomathias3121 I think you're possibly getting mixed up. The part Jazzrock is saying became Resolution is the ascending melody sung by Jack over chord sequence G#(A bass)/// //// A#(A bass)/// //// Am7/// //// D(A bass)/// //// etc The "middle part of repeated riffs" is a tumbling chord sequence of a few seconds duration that is also on Mahavishnu's One Word. It introduces Rick Laird's bass solo and then appears again to end the piece, after the solos section.
That "middle part of repeated riffs" reminds me of the alternative beginning to "Noonward Race" that the Mahavishnu Orchestra would use on live occasions, including the TV version from '72, and a particularly ferocious '72 gig (man, I can't remember the gig, it may have been the Mar Y Sol gig...or the Boston '72 gig, I'm not sure)...with Jan Hammer's screaming Hammond organ it sounds just like Lifetime, absolutely wonderful.
@@uberbeast113 maybe they played the same part, but the lifetime and mo are almost the same G D F C D A D. On the MO version, there is another D triad.
So much talent on that stage
What a treat--thank you for this!

@@uberbeast113 the bass solo section implies the same chords, if I recall right

Quem será esse que está cantando loucamente? De quem será essa letra e o quê ela diz? Mistérios do fuzion.
É o Jack Bruce quem canta.
@@murillomathias3121 só podia ser. Obrigado.
