I met him in Austin in 1985 at a poetry reading. I was doing a guitar/drum/film performance with "the Runs" and we used my guitar amp for poetry reading. Arthur read his poems with my reverb and tremelo settings. It sounded great. Daniel Johnston went to those readings too.
Not for me. I like the original intro, far shorter and to the point, this is indulgent and seems to try far too much to be like Jim Morrison with explanation. (imo which I am entitled to)
@salforddude Man, thanks for this. It escaped me that Vincent Crane was with Art. Brown. We had Atomic Rooster music as teens - bloody wonderful, 'real' music. Quite tragic tale of Vin Crane - what a fantastic player he was.
Want to hear Mr. Crane (and the whole of Atomic Rooster) at their fricken peak?..
Youtube 'VUG' by Atomic Rooster - outstandingly creative, highly musical, energetic, original and very listenable piece. You'll love it!

I swear, if you;ve ever heard Greg X. Volz sing, Brown not only looks a dead ringer for him but he sounds it too...could it be? hahahaha

He reminds me so much of today's Marc Biedermann of Blind Illusion.

The poem intro also presages Eric Burdon's intro to "Spill the Wine."

He is compelling.
The verse of his song nightmarishly predicts the World Trade Center experience of 9/11.
Much love going his way!

Arthur, can you please perform Fire Suite with a crazy organist and even crazier drummer? :)
No bass, no guitar, but perhaps good brass section (and strings to open Prelude - Nightmare!).
