Isn't that strange?!? The author manages to accomplish this by going into great detail about things like bands which McLaughlin was in for a brief time (as little as a few weeks), several of which have no extant recordings. It was also frustrating when the author wrote about the children that McLaughlin fathered as a young man, and didn't really go into much detail about that impacted his life. It certainly must have shaped him in some way! Additionally frustrating was the fact that this 500+ page book really ends where Mahavishnu Orchestra ends, not going into the great Shakti in much detail at all; not to mention his significant later activity. These things being said, there is a lot of information to glean from this book: I came away with lots of information about his early years (the youngest of 5, an early French speaker, an absent and unencouraging father, a violinst mother-which partly explains its presence in Mahavishnu Orchestra; (JM was) a guitar salesman and in-demand London studio musician), his early musical associations (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, etc.). McLaughlin's association with Tony Williams, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sri Chinmoy, and Mahavishnu Orchestra and ex-wife Eve McLaughlin are all dealt with in considerable detail. This book also has extensive footnotes and frequently makes reference to the more elaborate e-book version. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1. A massive expansion ... of the initial chapters of Paul Stump, "Go Ahead John: ..." ... . *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on December 1, 2020* 1. A massive expansion (with corrections) of the initial chapters of Paul Stump, "Go Ahead John: The Music of John McLaughlin", 1999.2. Many of the same people/places as in Philip Norman, "Slowhand: The Life and Music of Eric Clapton", 2018. But from the other side of the reading/theory divide.3. Musically literate. With citations, footnotes, and endnotes.4. Surprisingly (but, implicitly, not totally) disjoint from Pat Martino, Bill Milkowski, "Here and Now!: The Autobiography of Pat Martino", 2011.5. Does cite Larry Coryell, "Improvising: My Life in Music", 2007. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/5754845-bathed-in-lightning-john-mclaughlin-the-60s-and-the-emerald](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/5754845-bathed-in-lightning-john-mclaughlin-the-60s-and-the-emerald) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
