[SunRa95]

sun ra was a really genius

[ViolatedCerebrum]

I am very deeply frustrated I can't hear all the instruments... bad call on sound guy as I cannot at all hear Sun Ra's very visibly frantic piano playing, some of the saxaphone... Shame, It's nice to hear a genius in his fullest.

[zoothornpowers]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.  Space seems to be the place.

[tonyfreejazz20]

OH YEAH...FUCKIN AWESOME...

[RipplingOphelia]

FUUUUCKKKK YESSSS!!!

[dodoryan]

[suereed]

@karlowens2

well spotted...what a buff..x

[imanizc]

if we could all realize we're part of the song maybe we'll stop making so much noise.

[ignatzratsky]

Sun Ra had a vision for music and he stuck with it-it kept developing and changing to some extent but the man was a unique figure in WORLD music

[imanizc]

[0IOCreate]

What does it mean!?

[imanizc]

@0IOCreate  play your role

[Computercomponist]

I LOVE IT.......It is freedom

[yufunk]

sUN r/\

[TheSuperpoaster]

I love Sun Ra. I love tons of the guys work. This on the other hand, this is stupid.

[reage]

they're some of nirvana and lady gaga's ancestor from UR.ANUS.



[TheUnknowKING]

omg these guys are really from space

[fscarp]

I suppose I'm just too much a slave to melody. This, like a lot of Chick Chorea, I just don't get.

[rocknrollhoochiekoo1]

@fscarp Just think of it as life... This is like the painting of a picture in your mind. Pure genius.

[kunglown]

If you listen to this music, you hear the sound of the world, the nature, the cities and also of the universe. This is, what "making music" originally ment to be.

[u2delic]

he should have called dis song sea gulls,,,lol !

[SubRosaStructure]

I'm blown away!

[silvialand]

wowowow

[XilusCrenshaw]

This is the first jazz heavy metal.

[THISisRAWRY]

I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to think of this?

[BongoFury33]

@THISisRAWRY Think for yourself...

thats what it's all about.

[hrobass]

MAD

[felicksk8]

acid is fucked up.

[razedeezy]

@felicksk8 If you read up on Sun Ra and his Arkestra, neither him or any of his band members were on drugs of any kind, as it was forbidden for them to do so. But I suppose you just think this is just noise, right?

[felicksk8]

@razedeezy yeah. bet youre one of those intectual guys that seats down and pretents to enjoy this shit. fuking idiot

[razedeezy]

@felicksk8 you reply to a comment from 6 months ago? You mad?

[rocknrollhoochiekoo1]

absolutely perfect

[privateclem]

Es ist schiesse!! Miles, Parker, and Coltrane brought Jazz to the moon, and this display just flopped to Earth! To each his own though.

[golfjunki]

Wow...I like me some Rocket #9 as well...

[1crevolution]

great !!!

[halfmonk]

mind blowing. sun ra was the sho nuff real deal. what a band and the music on this video is astonishing.  i wish i could hear the vocal parts at the end.

if you don't get this music, don't try to over analyze it and don't worry about it. just move on. for me, this is what it means for musicians to completely LOSE themselves in the music. totally awesome.

[coolsax64]

Well said my friend. I totaly agree with you...

[DoktorSick]

@halfmonk you are 100% right my friend.

[Asymmatrix]

Lol@ 0:16 -0:20. Nice.

[houdinididiit]

I saw the Arkestra led by Marshall Allen on Halloween 2001 in lower Manhattan just after the 911 strike. That night, most people were saying they didn't want to go out because of their fear of another terrorist attack. In my opinion.. The Arkestra wiped out all of the evil that night in the city. Even without Sun Ra there, it was Amazing. It's one thing to see this on video, but when you are in the presence of it... IT CHANGES YOU FOR GOOD.

[MyWay17]

lol i might be spoiled of modern music but that aint music for me, just the result of the mix of all kinds of instruments

seriously you guys wouldnt skip that track if it would be playing on any radio? i would think my stereo just gave it up..

[PsytranceMan777]

@MyWay17 "One day will happen, it could be happening now, that a voice from another dimension will speak to Earth. You might as well practice and be prepared for it." -Sun Ra

[Asymmatrix]

Take THAT, Pete Townshend!

[MrEndone]

sun ra is the king of this world...

[PaulTraps]

@MrEndone and Saturn...I dig him tho!

[Klemperer]

Sun Ra doesn't need categorizations like "Punk" or whatever, in my opinion. This is just superb music. Every great musician who is used by scenes as "he is one of US" is being degraded by this process. He and is arkestra is one for all :)

[putabarata]

punk rock, breakdacing in outer space.

[reereeGRRRRRRR]

this is amazing

[HermanTheMole]

indeed...!
