Mostly JMcl's solo. He's always at his best when he has a drummer to drive him and Dennis Chambers is Billy Cobham's natural successor. 'Go ahead john'!!

Quality poor. My favourite live band in mclaughlins career after mahavishnu 1+2 is the one truth band. Saw them at the Rainbow-London in 1979 and they took the roof off. Main feature here is a keyboard solo by the brilliant (and often underrated) Stu Goldberg.

Seems most Mclaughlin fan either love or hate 'The Heart of things'. Thankfully I love the albums and the band.
