	7:37pm Observations: ↳ Song: "UFO (Live, Grendel's Lair, 1978)" by "Sun Ra and ... "A bonus track is included on this digital edition: an early, wordless live rendition of "UFO" performed and recorded on Halloween, 1978, at Grendel's Lair, a Philadelphia club that occasionally hosted Ra and his entourage. The work was found on a tape by Michael D. Anderson of the Sun Ra Music Archive. By the time the title was recorded at Variety during the On Jupiter session, lyrics existed and had already been modified. According to Earthly Recordings, the work was performed on May 5, 1979, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and "the vocal on that version was somewhat different from the vocal on [the] studio recording and subsequent concert performances." According to the book, Ra "told a member of the audience that he had 'prepared a practice piece' for the [concert]. The only previously unperformed piece [heard on an existing tape of the concert] was 'UFO'." However, based on the Grendel's Lair tape (which was unknown at the time Earthly Recordings was published), we now know that "UFO" had, in fact, been previously performed, albeit sans lyrics."
