"On the '74 show the sound is a little rocky," McLaughlin explains. "We did the best we could, with only two-track analogue with some drop-outs and some gaps. But the '84 was multi-track, and with my engineer we were able to do a really good job—and it's probably the only example of where the Synclavier guitar is really exposed. It was a great night and it was a good mix and everybody was playing really well. I'm very happy that it's finally coming out."

A great night, a good mix and everybody playing really well. Sounds like the perfect description of what McLaughlin fans can expect when he hits the road with The 4th Dimension, beginning September 13, 2007.
