Thanks BBS, can't beat Sun Ra and one I've never heard before :)

Reza, It's been out of print since 1998 at least, and the second disc lecture is so wild it had to be on the net. The Arkestra's performance on disc one is one of the better ones I've heard from the late 70s, it's truly inspired.

very cool - I've got another of the DIW concerts (Tokyo) but have never heard this - quite excited - Nate Mackey pub'd the lecture in his mag, Hambone 2, back in '83 - looking fwd to actually hearing it!

thanks!

Here's the rare disc that I already have. Pay particular attention to that version of "Watusi", it's one of my favorite Arkestra moments.
