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?"
I spent time researching the origins of the blues, and Native Americans seemed overlooked except for a few discerning ethnomusicologists who realized the connections.. though this performance is very West African
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.
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.
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!!!!!
Mark should have said Sun is a giant Daddy on the keyboards because Devo, who I love, are little grandchildren of this style. The Cosmos are the Prime number.
While the Europeans weren't "getting it", the Americans (who happened to share the nationality with these genius musicians) ignored these types of concerts, barely recording and preserving the performances for posterity.
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?
This man is one of the most underrated artists in history
My Brother played in the Sun RA Arkestra. Juini Booth Bassist. It was like no other. They were a village, Family , community of musicians.
Your brother was underrated, I think. But he was SO good. Loved his fat, mellow sound. And his solos...just, wow! You must be massively proud, Mary!
That's fantastic. You're lucky!

I finally some reglamentary amount of cowbell playing.
Sun Ra is pure cosmic joy & wonder
Yes

🍃 Ceremonial, Celestial, Rituals. Done in true Sun Ra style. No 1 comes close to him & his Intergalactic Arkestra...not even today🍃
This is great: we don't often get to see and hear how the dancers enhanced the experience.
praise the sun!
mans only god
Now I am persuaded - music represents the transcended experience most accurately!
Catchy tune! Sometimes I find myself humming it all day long.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
best video on planet earth
my heart...my soul...my stars...ethers...
Beautiful thoughts
This is the outer limits 😮
Supppper! Космический полет по волнам джазовых струн души!
Amazing way for tell the history of music in the human era.
Thanks for share it.
this video is special to me
29:00 takeoff
Thanks so much, that was fantastic! I love June Tyson.
Stoned immaculate
Ahh playin my favorite
This is great, and it’s some of the earliest footage of Mr. Mystery and his Magic band from outer space
No it’s not
@@blankowvsingt yeh it is
When was this shot? I don't see any date...
66 "cry of jazz" is the earliest video recording i have known so far
Oh myyy... i must hear the rest of that keyboard solo
This happens live and direct, in space.
Amazing, The Greater Light^^
swag
Wooo!

It might have been the constraints of the medium at the time. The tape of film doesn’t last forever, you know….
I feel the same way. That was the one thing that disappointed me about this film.
Unique de son genre...
Adequate amount of cowbell.
Somebody please turn on the lights!!!
Wow Mr. Ra playing the drums is something I’ve never seen
woah!
Incredible!!!!!!!
The Space Age is here to stay
sun ra was teaching musical roots I can see the ancient
ones in the old world jamming just losing themselves and no white people
@@james1552 nope, you don't get to have everything.
@@blackcosmos I'm white, and i concur. Ancient nubian atmosphere exclusively
This is how deep this Man was to balance it out with African vibes.
Saturn vibes not African
And some artists of today are doing this thinking they are breaking barriers and making something new....
Sandro Massarani looool that's so true, same thing with Lil B "The BasedGod"
The ones that are really doing this kind of music have already heard Sun Ra, Miles or Coltrane... the others are NOT making music at this LEVEL ;-)
Like who? Maybe they make similar music because they want to enlighten the current generation of forgotten music that should be treasured.
@@thebuenomonano9053 exactlyyyy, im tired of golden age syndrome people.
its hard to call todays 'artists' artists. they aren't playing instruments or doing ANYTHING original
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
Dance of the Cosmo Aliens...and humans.
MiniMoog Model B!!!!
Beam me up
And I hear he didn't drink or drug, now imagine if he did smoke a little herb and went to the studio
fin ultime
Watusa...
It's baffling that people paid money to hear this and even more baffling they did not leave after about nine minutes.
You are a sad hologram projected from the edge of the universe, out of tune with the world.
Glad you enjoyed the first 9 minutes tho
it aint necessarily so that it aint necessarily so : Sun Ra
*How do you even pull this off?*
How he can link the tribal with the futuristic, the tribal becomes futuristic and the futuristic becomes tribal.
Does anybody know when this was shot?
Who are the drummers???
"THE FIRST BLACK PRE WEATHER REPORT of AFROFUTURISM "
I wish the french guy would shut up so I can hear Sun-Ra! Damn
The english person here above should be glad of frenchies taking this performance live. Just enjoy it.
S U. N. R. A
We black people are connected to the God
Wow, Mark Mothersbaugh was right. He *does* like a giant baby slapping the keyboards.
Mark should have said Sun is a giant Daddy on the keyboards because Devo, who I love, are little grandchildren of this style. The Cosmos are the Prime number.
Typical of the French to cut the film just as the Master is warming up...Europeans just don't get it.
You judge a person by the country they were born, might as well walk on one foot.
@@levmyshkin8366 haha i know right, Tony is strange.
@@levmyshkin8366 its quite obviously a cultural judgment, "Europeans" is not a person

YO CAN WE MAKE IT OUR MISSION TO FIND THE REST OF THE VIDEO
Get free
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?
Humans in general are the greatest joke in universe
Are you awake yet?
@EXPOSING.THE.SATURNISTS Regardless....he conned white folk ...who are easy to con. Just look at any American Greed episode 😎😎
