Armageddon was conceived in 1958 and written down in 1963. After performing with Sun-Ra and benefiting from the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Phil Cohran's compositions changed decidedly, and he began to focus on cosmology and culture. This particular performance was recorded live at the Afro Arts Theater at 3900 S. Drexel, Chicago, IL on February 11th, 1968.
