John McLaughlin at the Musikfest Cafe in Bethlehem, PA 6/17/13

[Wolfman]

Fantastic jazz show at the very intimate showroom, the Musikfest Cafe, in Bethlehem, PA tonight. I can see why all the greats rave about McLaughlin. He is extremely fast with tasty chops. His band was amazing with a bassist who wore gloves, a heavyset Indian gentleman on drums, and a keyboardist who also played drums (there were two drum kits on stage). They played around two hours with lots of songs mixing fusion, rock, and blues. I don't have a setlist and I have have no clue what the names of the songs were. It was all good though!

P.S. This was the setlist from 11/2012 and I do recognize some of the names from tonight.

1. Trancefusion
2. Little Miss Valley
3. Abbaji (For Alla Rakha)
4. Hijacked
5. Senor C.S.
6. Light At The Edge Of The World
7. Call and Answer
8. Maharina
9. Riff Raff
10. Echos From Then
11. Encore:
12. A Love Supreme
