    At the Shakti gig, backstage for around 15 min.
    He gave lots of gyan on what is important for a musician, told me to buy his DVD(;-)), and also talked about loads of other stuff. Fantastic meeting one of my idols.
    He also signed my Variax:)

    Yup, it was really a dream come true to meet the Mahavishnu himself even though he told us to become accountants...lol.

    Good for you. Does he have an aura around him?

    He levitates:)
    More seriously, he's quite approachable and willing to sit and chat etc.
    Quite spiritual etc., although I don't know if that's the LSD in the 70s or real.
    Also he was most intrigued by my Variax-"Where are the pickups?"

    The passes are freaking 2500 bucks.

    According to Ronnie, it was very very good. I don't like Frank Gambale at all, but apparently he was very good that night.
