'Beauty' created by Mahavishnu By DOUG McMINN for the Collegian Clouds of incense and a minute of reverent' silence marked the beginning of the Mahavishnu Orchestra’s performance Saturday at Rec Hall. The music which followed ran the gamut from, an almost holy beauty to a" technically superb musical self-indulgence. ■Guitarist Jon McLaughlin.

The song set the tone for the rest of the show—very loud, electronic music played at breakneck speed, with breathtaking technical facility. McLaughlin led, standing center stage with his double necked guitar. A string section, with Steve Kindler on first violin, Carol Shive on second violin and vocals, and Phil Hirschi on cello, provided symphonic rushes of sound, with counterpoint from Stu Goldberg on a variety of electronic key boards.

Due to the usual Rec Hall noise, horn players Norma Jean Green and Russel Tubbs were hard to hear. Bass player Ralph Arm strong and drummer Mike Walden were both tremen dous. Armstrong is a virtuoso of" the bass guitar, and Walden’s polyrhythmic percussion efforts kept the beat and embellished it. , Steve Kindler performed well, especially in some lightning-fast duets with McLaughlin.
