There are two entries with the name John McLaughlin: a guitarist and a TV personality.

1. John McLaughlin (born 4th January 1942), also known as Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, is a jazz fusion guitarist and composer from Doncaster, Yorkshire, England. He played with Tony Williams Lifetime and then with Miles Davis on his landmark electric jazz-fusion albums In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. His 1970s electric band, The Mahavishnu Orchestra performed a technically virtuosic and complex style of music that fused eclectic jazz and rock with eastern and Indian influences. His guitar playing, includes a range of styles and genres, including jazz, Indian classical music, fusion and Western Classical music, has influenced many other guitarists. He has also incorporated Flamenco music in some of his acoustic recordings. The Indian Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain often refers to John McLaughlin as being “one of the greatest and most important musicians of our times”.

I can't see any evidence that this non-musician John McLaughlin is "frequently scrobbled"...

Saw him with the Five Peace Band last year, which was more or less dominated by Corea, and ruined by incompetent sound engineers at the venue. Now I need to keep stalking this page incase he comes back to Northern California as I feel like I was cheated out of seeing my greatest guitar hero play D:

saw the Five Peace Band in HK a few days ago... and i still can't believe i heard McLaughlin live, and he's still fiery :) incredible line-up too... i was initially disheartened to learn that Vinnie Colaiuta wasn't on the drum kit, but man, Brian Blade blew me away :)
