I'm Gonna Booglarize You

[nhrevolutionist]

There isn't a day that goes by where Beefheart isn't played!

[zzwanderer]

The "dancing guitarist" is Mark Boston, who switched over to guitar when Roy Estrada joined. By the time they recorded Clear Spot, Ingber had left and Boston was the second guitarist. An amazing musician.

[WellOiled87]

Van Vliet R.I.P.

[yunwi1]

ROY ESTRADA!!!!!!!!!!!

[anchordrum]

@yunwi1 Roy Indeed..my lovely uncle.

[sonicdeath10]

Who's the dancing guitarist? Love the guy. BTW this has to be the sickest groove waxed on three guitars.

[fastguild2007]

Damn!!! Capt. hits it hard at 4:05 - RIP

[NobodobodoN]

[stevecrosby99]

@drkanukie Agree

[HelenusMaximusIII]

Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind!!

[MagicAlex]

The idea that i can't see him live really, really depresses me...

[gardenvarietypenis]

@MagicAlex but just think how happy it makes him.

[thefortysixand2]

chk chk-a baaooww do do doo do, chk chk-a baaooww do do do boo do!

[spackhandy]

Beefy does look a bit porky in this, doesn't he? And poor Roy E looks uncomfortable jigging about. But it's still a great performance.

[RazzBedson]

I'm booglarized!

[stretcherbearerband]

I'm Breaking out th Vinyl on this one! I used to smoke pot and take Vicodin a few years back and email Bill Harkleroad, who live not far from here, to see if If I could jam with him! I reread some of those incoherant mails, wow. He actually responded to me. I told Porl thompson from The Cure about that,(they're huge Beefheart fans) And He just e mailed me back laughing1 LOL.

[jacksilverbirch]

don just booglarized me, I'm still shakin and sore,

my blue pants pockets please,

hit it

[resacarat]

This song gives me the willies,

in a good way.

[sofraj]

Not to one up you treebeard but I also saw him in '72 warming up for Tull at West Virginia University in Morgantown. You're absolutely right, it was thunderous.

[iggypot]

i love the disco beat on this jammy...and dam you treebeard, you are one lucky son of a gun to have the captain live in concert...yes...i totally CAN picture the whole house rocking to this soul shakin song.

[samadhist]

I love fruit

[treebeard431]

I saw him open for Tull's Thick as a Brick tour in '72 in West Palm Beach, and he totally ripped it up! They opened with Booglarize, and from the opening chords with that hypnotic beat they had the whole place shakin'.Tull's set was theatric, but The Magic Band owned the night. Rockette Morton played a double stop bass solo, too.You have to hear this at concert volume, feel it rumbling up your spine then picture 3000 kids dancing like dervishes from the downbeat...Good times, good times...

[sillyworm]

@treebeard431 I saw The same tour but in Bowling Green Ohio..I will NEVER forget that show! Even though my friend and I seemed to be the only ones enjoying their show(everyone else had NO IDEA what to think about the CAPTAIN)....We were up front grooving on it!!! Somehow it seems they were boo'd off stage...Not sure...but it may have happened. These were TULL fans...after all

[diskochimp]

AMAZING! x

[SSDoomCraft]

Rockette has the best dance on the planet. I'd love to see pop bands dance like that nowadays.

[toomuchrose]

Rockette ain't doing the dancing, it's Winged Eel Fingerling,aka Elliot Ingber.

Just so you know, the band is, from left to right Rockette Morton, wearing shades and beard, Winged Eel Fingerling, wearing flowery suit and straw hat, Ed Marimba on drums, Roy Estrada on bass and Zoot Horn Rollo is the tall dude in the red jacket.

A truly amazing band.

[PhantomVonTollbooth]

Nope, you just got Rockette and Fingerling mixed up... ;)

[toomuchrose]

you are absolutely right and I'm absolutely wrong. What was I thinking of?

Duh!

[procoi]

nope, rockette morton is the guy in the panama hat and wild suit. aka mark boston. also played bass for beefheart mainly, especially after roy went on with little feat

[MFJVIDEO]

BOOGLARIZED

[shamrocked]

Get it on baby!

[sonicdeath10]

I love how when the drum comes in, the guitars actually make sense. Not sure why that is, but it is.

[skinnynorris85]

he s just such a cool cat

[ComradeCrusty]

I love me some Captain Beefheart, but during his fat-faced early 70s days, he kinda looks like Bill Hicks and Rosie O'Donnel had a kid....

[nodalFlux]

that groove is a manstrous, testosterone addled beast!

[bogfranklin]

dude this is the best ever! I love this so much I can't even talk about it!!!!!!!!!!!

[bugland23]

you've got taste, that's all I can say!

[antisoc1al]

The guitarist has the best jig, EVER

[flaviolima91]

is the drummer fred flinstone?

[Ominick]

This song is proof that, despite his reputation for out-there weirdness, the Captain could still put together a catchy song with a tight groove better than almost anyone else. This is way better than the album version ("The Spotlight Kid" is the name of the record).

[Wormdei]

Yes, I hadn't heard the album version before this one and found it to be dissapointing by comparison. The album's good though.

[tagomago91]

isnt that alex snouffer from the safe as milk album ?

[Superjew14]

what guitar is rollo using? A Epiphone casino or Gibson ES-330

[johnwolcot]

This is absolutely fabulous. If timeless and visual originality is what you crave then you need look no further in your life than this video. Words fail me, I am absolutely humbled by this.

[helenmyeyes]

I'm booglarized!

[gzr0]

the bassist reminds me of robert trujillo (now in metallica)

also.. who sings that low! Beefheart rules

[zenpharaohs]

Surely that is Roy Estrada

[PAULLONDEN]

The Boogie will rize,

try it on for size..../

[pepemarita]

世代じゃないけど

こんなすげえ人がいるなんて知らなかった

自分がとても恥ずかしい。

外国人に減点されないように英語でコメント。

He changed my life!!

I hope he comes back.

[mikemckv]

The Magic Captain is well and truly beyond the my oh my.

[nickkalisz]

wasn't that bass player with canned heat ?

[Superjew14]

no, You're thinking of larry taylor.

[Raymantico]

They don't make them like this no more.

Tighten ya hat band, baby.

[Ramentastic]

hella funky :D

[aisdara]

Don Van Vliet ate my baby.

[eddie7702]

This shit's so funky you could brush your teeth with it. Absolutely love this track and video, respect to vingill for posting it. CB's crazy pimp voice, the slouched back funk riffs on the guitars, the way the drums just fall into the track near the start, F***ing amazing.

[jacksilverbirch]

@eddie7702. I like that dude, brush your teeth with it. I'm gonna steal that one for sure

[boalcura]

Hail to the Captain. This is a treasure.

[burschikowski]

can't get any better....pure genius!

[Hakmexul]

What year is this from?

[ghellogm]

should be 71-2

[Mingus18]

Ohhh man the captain is in fine form here! Unbeleivably rad.

[aqua7cn]

fuck gut

[simonfromsydney]

this is the coolest band ever

[thebiket]

Roy Estrada on bass ladies and gentlemen!

[bonewreck]

either ya get it.. or ya don't. i'm proud to say that i do.

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

What does that mean? Does "getting it" mean that you like it, or understand what he's trying to do, other than what is most obvious?

[damres]

how do u know you "get it". maybe you get sumthing else.

[smartfreddy]

Just soooo cool.... this is the hieight of cool...todays bands just dream of stuff like this!!!

[MarcelProust666]

jumping around in the hat is rockette (mark Boston) morton, the great bassist from trout mask; art tripp (ed marimba) is on drums; the great ex little feat, ex mothers bassist is roy estrada; the tall guitarist is zoot horn rool—bill harkleroad; the other equally greatr guitarist—the one with the hair—is eliot ingber (winged eel) the finest jewish guitarist since bloomfield.

this band shd be in the hall of fame.

[martinevans123]

hey Marcel, this band IS the hall of fame

[DPTG23]

totally fucking amazing

[james77777776]

its obvious that you are a simpleton

[DPTG23]

you will have to explain, I'm a simpleton, so no big words OK?

[jeffbeck147087]

Is that Jack Black?

[hideousreplica]

This is so heavy. I wasted minutes joining youtube just so I could write how heavy this is. Who drums in a life preserver? Uh!

[geoffmilkshake]

Saw Rockette play a couple of years ago - he's still got those dancing feet ...

[marcello09]

Sounds like the Gang of Four!

[daliscape]

Err hello? Beefheart came first, how can HE sound like Gang of Four? Gang of four ripped Beefhearts sound.

[marcello09]

I was just making an observation, dude. Just noting that the sound is similar. That's all.

[236260]

Rockette Morton makes me grin- and where in the hell can I find a suit like that?

[dannyodoul]

The Legendary Danny O'Doul arranged the version played in this video. If you don't like it, please keep it to yourself, because this is a high quality musical moment in the history of this wonderful futurist combo.

Sincerely, The Legendary Danny O'Doul*

*Interestingly, The Legendary Danny O'Doul invented

slap back echo, first, in the autumn of 1954.

[madkaffir]

This song is off The Spotlight Kid album...this is probably the only Cpt Beefy song that works like a treat when women come back to mine...that and "Women" of the Safe as Milk album

[BassoSoprano]

Gotta luv Beefy's DEEP boo-glarized bloooo's voice. greatest white blues singer ever.

[miguelbgood]

I always thought this was a great song! But the Cap'n and his Magic Band look like they're trying to be commercial rock stars here! Funny! Great performance of the song, though!

[bonzofever]

Well they're just totally freakin' out ! This magic stuff is one of the best pieces of music ever captured on video (great quality). The performance is just amazing !! Thanks !

[MKFaizi]

Not a damn thing pretty or romantic about 'em. How come I always liked 'em.

[daliscape]

cus their fuckin briiliant

[agnamaracs]

This might be the strangest band lineup Beat Club has ever had to display. "Winged Eel Fingerling."

[sibbald]

I'd like to see Ricky Gervaise doing this

[jbearden]

This little baby has been painting ALL ALONG!

[ctimm64]

looks like beef signaled to have his mike adjusted there (in the beginning)

[EarlyLAPunk]

Loosie goosie!
