Wild. The most amazing footage maybe ever of Sun Ra with the full Arkestra in Berlin Nov 7, 1970 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp29FTEnPJg
Tks to Jay Korber for procuring this rare tv broadcast. It was heavily edited for tv, the unedited audio was released by Joachim-Ernst Berendt as part of a double CD "Black Myth/Out In Space" on his MPS label. This show appears on CD2/track1 as a 37m45s track: "Out In Space"

@ambientspace Tks go to my pal Jay Korber, be sure to check out other (formerly rare) videos on his youtube channel. I color corrected this one from 1971 and liberated it from the google monopoly by posting to the mighty Internet Archive
