Dark Star
May 14, 1974
Adams Field House, U of Montana
Communication with extraterrestrial lifeforms in the dead of night. With only the light of distant stars to guide you through this formless and exploratory Dark Star, this version is inventive and full of incredible ideas. An electric jazz sextet exploring fractal spaces and geometrical landscapes with tribal drumming to accompany this celestial and otherworldly sheets of sound. My favorite of 1974 and one of the most intergalactically haunting and electrifying lobotomizing performances I've ever heard.
