This music speaks to my soul! I am Apache Indian from White Mountains, AZ. I remember as a young man playing an LP of blues music by Baby Face Leroy which was only drums and guitar, my dad came in and said "where did you get a record of Apache music?"

My Brother played in the Sun RA Arkestra. Juini Booth Bassist. It was like no other. They were a village, Family , community of musicians.

SUN RA ***** brought More ***** SPIRITUAL ENERGY to planet Earth ****** than any produced by any other source. To experience his cosmic musical language live was a journey that stayed with you for a lifetime if not ***** LONGER.

Sun Ra is pure cosmic joy & wonder

Amazing way for tell the history of music in the human era. Thanks for share it.

I finally some reglamentary amount of cowbell playing.

🍃 Ceremonial, Celestial, Rituals. Done in true Sun Ra style. No 1 comes close to him & his Intergalactic Arkestra...not even today🍃

Thank you so much for sharing this.

This is great: we don't often get to see and hear how the dancers enhanced the experience.

praise the sun!

One would think the Arkestra had sufficiently performed to the ends of their imagination through the many exotic locations and tapped into their futuristic spirits during the 1971 tour. If this is in fact the final performance of the tour they are really emptying the tank here, 100% inspiration and cosmic energy to spare.

best video on planet earth

This happens live and direct, in space.

my heart...my soul...my stars...ethers...

this video is special to me

Now I am persuaded - music represents the transcended experience most accurately!

Supppper! Космический полет по волнам джазовых струн души!

Catchy tune! Sometimes I find myself humming it all day long.

Thanks so much, that was fantastic! I love June Tyson.

Beam me up

sun ra was teaching musical roots I can see the ancient ones in the old world jamming just losing themselves and no white people

Unique de son genre...

This is how deep this Man was to balance it out with African vibes.

Really????Fade out on the keyboard solo??? We understand time constraints but Sunny was obviously getting ready for lift off to take us all up but a fantastic short shot of what it was like to be in the presence of the Great Sun Ra...thanks for posting and we want MORE!!!!!

MiniMoog Model B!!!!

Somebody please turn on the lights!!!

Wow Mr. Ra playing the drums is something I’ve never seen

Sun ra was the only real musician (angel) a d all others failed..his soul was pure and therefore his frequencies will adjust you to be a better being

This is great, and it’s some of the earliest footage of Mr. Mystery and his Magic band from outer space

And some artists of today are doing this thinking they are breaking barriers and making something new....

And I hear he didn't drink or drug, now imagine if he did smoke a little herb and went to the studio

It's baffling that people paid money to hear this and even more baffling they did not leave after about nine minutes.

Watusa...

it aint necessarily so that it aint necessarily so : Sun Ra

I wish the french guy would shut up so I can hear Sun-Ra! Damn

Who are the drummers???

*How do you even pull this off?*

Does anybody know when this was shot?

S U. N. R. A

Wow, Mark Mothersbaugh was right. He *does* like a giant baby slapping the keyboards.

Get free

We black people are connected to the God

Typical of the French to cut the film just as the Master is warming up...Europeans just don't get it.

Some people are easy to con. Sun Ra was a con artist, & I find it hilarious that people took him seriously....even calling him a genius.. Hey, if they're gonna pay, why not?
