gabagooooo

[widerling]

Heard it the first time in the movie Love Crime with Kirstin Scott Thomas. Superbly divine!!

[SEQUENCEdotNET]

Nice feel to it outstanding YESWECAREdotNET

[Sarmelos]

Quero ir junto com esta música!!!

[charlygardel]

Beautiful. Just ... beautiful.

[shytalker]

i sat next to Pharoah Sanders in Ronnie Scotts 1980s such a Gent, Sir you are Superb. ian r.

[mysharone]

i believe it would hurt the man Paul Arslanian more to be referred to 'beggar looking dude' more than it would to be given musical credit and copyright acknowledgement.

[sconl]

Wow.

[ggguzman]

i feel like flying into the night sky

[TadRapidly]

I just started playing in this very tunnel. It is awesome.

[Jazzman555]

i think this tune is called "for big george"

[aaronamccoy]

i use to play up there in the marin headlands..what a sound you can get..there use to be some old hag that sang there and she had a great voice like an angel

[BennyGaberMusic]

The sound at exactly 1:54 !!!!

Shit!!!!!!!

[bartnauta]

Does anyone knows if there is a good quality recordings of this version of Kazuko?

[mrfish4lyfe]

thank you so much for posting

[shaazbaat]

While I can appreciate how this beautiful piece brings people spiritual tuning forks into the realm of infinite creaminess, it urks me a bit that you folks haven't acknowledged the incredible display of circular breathing technique by Pharoah. when he goes "astral" at 4:15, notice the activity in his cheeks and how he never takes a breath. And no...its not a "Kenny-G-40-min-circular-breat­hing-stunt", but it is perfectly applied within the context of the presented material. Mastery!

[ThreeLeggedMongoose]

very nice reverb in that hole in the cement... i think

[Ryedudebrah]

Easily one of the best videos on youtube.

[Nomyo]

man.. thanks for this video this is so deep and so inspirating

[astrojazzman]

Pharoah Sanders is a true living legend a master of the tenor...

[jazzspiritual]

sun01disz, I agree with you. Clips of unknown treasures do help & promote the artist. I for one would like to buy the original of this video.

[skatz0719]

Marin is not in San Fran. But good try

[DIRECTORIOLIMA]

this is one of the most beautiful music related videos i´ve seen in youtube. It had to be Pharoah

[bartnauta]

One of the best things I saw in a long time.

[nevermattered24]

This is honestly one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard.

[yasujiro2046]

De una belleza ( y una tristeza) que deslumbra...

[MsFelicia19]

Yes, The Original Man is God of The Uni-verse!!!! Thank you Pharoah Saunders!

[MsFelicia19]

Vibrations of The Infinite Spirit, this takes me to that Heavenly Realm every time! Try to play this almost on a daily basis to tune my Spirit up,Greatly appreciate your post! My absolute Favorite!

[jazzonthetube]

this is so beautiful...

[shininglight777]

This song is so dear to my heart, it melts me into a peaceful understanding of the infinite being we all are, thank you Pharoah for this gift of cosmic vibration!

[ambientfusion]

one of the most intense videos i've seen on here! Pharoah, a true student and master.

[tk050305cnx]

Fantastic! Pharoah is going "astral" at 4:15.

[jazzgeek64]

Pharoah is amazing. A truly spiritual musician playing from the source. I've viewed this on numerous occasions when I've been feeling low and it has always brought me back. Thanks for posting this. It is truly wonderful.

[willy4u4u]

thats funny i play in those tunnels all the time..i don't think your aloud to play in that one now but you can play in the ones down by the beach..i'm actually going there this weekend to play my woodwinds..magical place.

[Eegunjobi1966]

Eh Buddy,can you show me where this tunnel is? I drive the 38l in tha' City,and I'm a Saxophonist.Lucky enough to see THE GREAT ONE ,last night at Yoshi's-S.F.

[whykatera81]

speak to my heart holy spirit

[saxophobe60]

A true Giant!!

[smoochieminnie]

So deeply and profoundly expressive. He just summed it all up in ten minutes!

[Aristosek]

Amazing, 'live' sax in master hands. Music is like light in dark tunnel. Thank You

[pincpallin]

Che splendido musicista che splendido essere umano. Dio ti bendica Pharoah.

Stefano Bartoli

[cosmusical]

Absolutely one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[brownlee1867]

a performance of immense beauty, thank you very much for uploading this. To me Pharoah is the finest Tenor Saxophonist alive.

[endlessgreg]

Does anybody know who the accompanying musician is?

[sun01disz]

The beggar looking dude in the tunnel is Paul Asrlanian on harmonium. :) I hope it does not hurt any copyright knight's feelings if I name the guy.

My opinion about copyrights - If someone uploads an unknown treasure like this - that I honestly believe is good for the musician ... it's like an advertisement of Pharoah's soul and personality. A wonderful manifestation of his spirit ... I hope it will make people buy his CDs and DVDs.

It's not the latest hit that buys popularity for the channel

[sun01disz]

correction: I misspelled the name - it's Paul Arslanian.

And ... I believe we are on the same page with markballen10 in this ... at least as the "Please buy it" concerned :) ... ;)

[endlessgreg]

Hey thanks a lot!

[Nomyo]

@sun01disz Thank you man

[bissia]

@sun01disz

It does, I sometimes check tracks on youtube which I later hunt on vinyl. Of course it doesn't help the artist, as I target the second-hand market -but- if there is a great anthology or reissue I also aquire it, in which case the original artist may get it's ultra thinny slice of the cake.

Yoko Ito Gates playing Kato (Japanese instrument)

Paul Arslanian playing Harmonium and Wind-Chime

[jaydude214]

this is one of the most beautiul videos iv ever seen. Pharoah is out of this world, I saw him in LA at the jazz bakery and I've never seen anything like it

[kolyayo]

this is the best thing i have seen

[markballen10]

This clip is lifted without permission from a copyrighted DVD available on Amazon and elsewhere: Pharoah Sanders: Live in San Francisco, which also features amazing performances with Idris Muhammad, and the late greats John Hicks and Walter Booker, and a short interview. Please buy it!

[LuizPagan]

I own this DVD that was ordered through Amazon. Pharoah's playing sometime brings me to something like tears of joy. One the real highlights of this DVD is the intense and rapturous playing of John Hicks! It's hard to believe how STRONG he was. He will be missed.

[uploadexplode]

magic

[martguit]

bellisimo,larga vida al faraon de el espiritu

[AlastairHGunn]

Does this piece have a name?

[sun01disz]

"An Abandoned Tunnel" - it was shot in San Francisco (Marin Headlands - close to the Golden Gate Bridge) more than 25 years ago - in 1982

[Blueskywatcher]

sun01disz, you should put that title in your tags. Thanks for posting. It's beautiful.

[sun01disz]

I will do it right now ;)

[sun01disz]

Thanks, btw ... I thought it was very soulful and rare to find ... I am glad if people feel the same way ...

[NewJackSwing4eva]

His music speaks for itself.What a great artist and human being!.

sun01disz,thanks for this spiritual,healing experience.

"Pharoah is a man of large spiritual reservoir, always trying to reach out to truth."

[fatworth]

I worked on this fantastic Pharaoh clip- How 'bout a video artist credit for San Francisco's Mark Allen?

[JoelmanJames]

haha, look where evan parker got his schtick.

I keed, I keed.

[bigsaxman]

Excellent audio and visual experience of the Pharoah!

One of the best.

Thanks!

[kanalasgem]
