[owlandtree]

Captain Beefheart and GONG; Virgin used to be cool, what happened?

[videocanone]

"Music from the other side of the Fence" !

[liveecarbme]

I most sincere wish is to be as comfortable with myself as Don was with himself.

[lamccaugh]

Gray corn flake emotions are watched through blue satellite dishes in his eyes

An acrylic ice cream desert lit up Van Gogh's orange juice in a dark sky

Then his ashtray fever went away showing his canvas extra terrestrial remedy no

one couldn't realize

A lazer light crayon in his hand traveled a blue million miles in his eyes

[ArtLyst1]

Long Live Captain Beefheart!!!

Art is a man in overalls down the street talking trash to the butter bean scarecrow

Genius is every time new colors creepin out fine minded like some beefhearted captain in dark bright light

[shizzy35]

@fireblossom2u. trip time candescent, flatulent morbidity with a sprint, angelic symptomatic of creole, jap tongs on free float, immersion schizoid over medium with a side of grits paralystic mojave junkie carbonation, indispenisble!

just sayin

[bklmsoul]

i love how they suggest the captain was selling out wholly, at the same time they show him rocking a Che shirt. infiltrate the crapatalist system. This man was a true freedoom fighter in his own solipsistic manner.

[leapinlueschen]

Although Frank Zappa hired Captain Beefheart out of charity, Bongo Fury is some of their best work

[willruddock]

I love how that radio announcer says "It's 'Lick My Decals Off, Baby!'"

[Ziplock74]

if captain beefheart had a twitter, i would make one just to follow him on it.

[elshiple]

just so funny and amazing in so many ways what a well done documentary on the man himself 

[uptightkid]

Thanks for posting, enjoyed it very much.

[santuchoselpink]

Even the "worse" albums of Captain Beefheart are very good....

[eldorado61guy]

I love 'Bongo Fury'

[jackhillty]

my smile is stuck

[superkulmedkniv25]

@jackhillty i cannot go back to your frownland

[themitchies]

his appearance really changed from 72-74

[sloanmidwestXTC]

Hahaha, exercise.

[pdshane]

I don't like color television. Excellent.

[acerb45666555]

4:24:.......he lives near Coyotes?!! .....Coyotes are the new PitBull !! keep close watch on yer little fox terrier! and yer cat! and yer self!! these new troublesome modern bigger coyotes have mixed with large dogs and wolves. they dont run like a regular skinny nervous coyote.

[WizardofFuzz]

haha the gallery interview is just great

[royaltenenbaum23]

Loved it!

[cosmicrider287]

let me get one thing straight ,unconditionally guaranteed and bluejeans and moonbeams are both fine lp s in hindsight.

[Pierce1978]

[deadmissbates]

DVV is so adorable. :)

[TheGm66]

shiny beast my fav. can"t understand most of his lyrics though, only when im drunk. liked his music for ages

[progpunk76]

Oh ya Shiny Beast..... such a killer come back album

[JazzyJonas]

shiny beast may be his best work. i played it for my friends and their jaws dropped and they laughed in disbelief several times

[CanisLupusSolitarius]

Don Van Vliet, I guess?

[deadmissbates]

That's right. :)

[motherbrain86]

warner music group may fall down some day

[bandcouver]

Why did they skip over "Clear Spot"? That's one fine album. Or is WMG all anal about having anything from that heard?

[3rdcoastnyucka]

Am I the only person who really likes Bluejeans and Moonbeams?

[fuzzleredmenn]

You are not alone!

[barrywinehousexp]

1:27 :DD:D:D

Double entendre? bfffhhm ahahah, *whoops*

TITTLE WHITTLE DOOOOO!

[waynealarsen]

I saw the bongo fury tour at the Capitol in '75, Beefheart sat on the floor the whole time

[Frowned]

ORANGE AMPS!!! YES!!!

[kenta0jenta]

he sounds so much like tom waits!

[Diomedes22]

you got it backwards

[jamischrist]

agreed, tom waits sounds like beefheart.

[frescabear]

its the other way around

[berniefranks]

Tom himself has called his post-Swordfish work his "Beefheart" music.

[bastiaanvanbeek]

that drawing of frank at 6:23 is so realistic. it's almost a picture.

[rabbitshirt]

I'd like to see some of those drawings . . . ha haaaa!

[RedNietzsche]

frank and don, perfect sitcom!

[smash9grab]

Nice!

and Jimmy Carl Black as their wacky neighbour!

[thespewking]

dead neighbour.

[diddywahdaddy]

There's a very sad story about FZ being quite nasty to Don as late as 1984 when the latter was asking the other for the original tapes for the Bat Chain Puller sessions.FZ suppodedly asked for a lot of money to turn over the tapes, money Don didn't have.He certainly wasn't that hot in the arts millieu at that point,so Don had to leave without mission being acomplished.This was supposed to be a buddy!Anyway, they made up before FZ died. But still,all we get from this,is the remake and the boot.

[Domytar]

cool autograph

[shoob3r]

BONGO FIERY!!!!! lol

[bapyou]

I once owned an entire collection of Beefheart albums on vinyl which I loaned to my friend Gary, who took it down to the Florida Keys, where he lost all of the albums moving around from place to place. I still get pains whenever I think about what a stupid thing I did.

[diddywahdaddy]

Gary must have been a close buddy. You still seeing him? Before you get physical in a negative way, I mean?

[bapyou]

"Gary must have been a close buddy. You still seeing him?"

Actually yes. I have seen him a number of times since he "lost" my Beefheart collection. As much as I love the Captain, the albums aren't worth a friendship. Me and Gary still share our love of DVV's music ... just, not those albums.

[kmsuperstar1]

Jimmy Carl Black needs to drop his spear campaign of Zappa. talk about sour fucking grapes.

[parmesancrisp]

I agree. Jimmy wants to have it both ways - he loves talking shit about Zappa and how Zappa allegedly mistreated him, but he's always performing it whatever Zappa tribute band will have him. Pretty lame, if you ask me.

[doktorsawade]

Jimmy's dying of brain cancer in Germany as we write.

[Aristurtle89]

really? that's awful

[sharpsuitedmod]

apparantly he died 4 days ago

rest in peace

[MarlaisO]
