At this time, Sun Ra was 74 years old. After completing five performances across Japan, the tour's final show took place on August 8th at Shinjuku Pit Inn.\r\nDuring this Japanese performance, Sun Ra Arkestra delivered a remarkable performance, showcasing big band jazz, including standard tunes. The concert was characterized by intricate arrangements, individual virtuosity of each player, and a telepathic unity within the band. The performance was truly memorable, reminiscent of their peak era, as it demonstrated the mysterious space music through the sound vibrations of Sun Ra, the 'mythical scientist of sound'. \r\n\r\nSun Ra Arkestra:\r\nSun Ra: piano, synthesizer, vocals\r\nAhmed Abdullah: trumpet\r\nTyrone Hill: trombone\r\nMarshall Allen: alto sax, flute, percussion\r\nDanny Ray Thompson: baritone sax, percussion\r\nEloe Omoe [Leroy Taylor]: alto sax, bass clarinet, contra-alto clarinet, percussion\r\nJune Tyson: violin, vocals\r\nBruce Edwards: electric guitar\r\nRollo Radford: electric bass\r\nSamarai Celestial [Eric Walker]: drums\r\nEarl 'Buster' Smith: drums\r\n\r\nTracklist:\r\nSide A\r\n1.
