The excellent Live at Montreux set from 1976 was released on vinyl by both Saturn and Inner City before disappearing from print for many years. In 2003, the set was reissued by both Universe/Akarma and P-Vine. A full 20-member Arkestra (plus dancers) turns in a typically freewheeling set. From Take the A Train (featuring a killer solo from Marshall Allen), to the gospel-influenced El Is a Sound of Joy, to the almost exotica Lights on a Satellite, to the free and raucous Gods of the Thunder Realm, and on to We Travel the Spaceways, the Arkestra covers as much musical territory in this set as anyone would expect from a live Sun Ra show. This is considered to be another classic in a vast discography. [Completists take note: the Universe edition inexplicably fades out the last four minutes of On Sound Infinity Spheres, which are present on the P-Vine edition.] Tracks: CD1 01. For the Sunrise (2:03) 02. Of the Other Tomorrow (7:41) 03. From Out Where Others Dwell (4:31) 04. On Sound Infinity Spheres (13:26) 05. The House of Eternal Being (9:32) 06.
