@LondonDada Jesus sorry,original. Point is I love this band,and many others ranging from 1950's - the present day,and I disdain X Factor. Why bother argueing mate,lifes too short ; )
Even though he borrows heavily from Howlin' Wolf, among other masters, he sings a mean blues and does his own thing. You can't say that about Clapton, Jon Spencer, Jagger, etc. And the bottleneck work here is super clean! It's a shame that CB probably won't ever be considered a real blues musician/singer, because he's so "eccentric" and for veering from the traditional style.

Guitarist says " Spot-Light Kid" was their worst record, pretty damn great for a worst record (click Clack appeared on that record) I only knew Click Clack as a kid from the "Whole-Earth Catalog" Comp. record. Always liked that Beefheart sound. Live version just puts it over the moon for me.

@axewarmer Oh My God you remember WB's "Whole Earth Catalog"??? I thought I was the only one left on the planet that knew of that great record. People just give me blank stares when I bring it up. That record got me hooked on T. Rex.
@smoreent You are thinking of the "Beat Club" appearance, where they did "I'm Gonna Booglarize You, Baby" same tour, recorded a few days before this appearance.
We have lost one of the true innovators and visionaries in this life. Who can ever forget the first time you ever heard ANYTHING on "Trout Mask Replica'? He opened my ears to all the possibilities that lie in music and rhythm. He had a gruff exterior but was a real creampuff-look to his lyrics. Was there ever a greater love song than "My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains"? I'm happy that he came along during my lifetime. Rest in Peace Captain.
Captain Beefheart has died and so has a a small part of me. His songs and performances were so big for me in college and beyond. He taught me Dada which has remained my favorite art ever since. In a biblical sounding lyric, "The Dust blows forward and the Dust blows back!" Long live Captain Beefheart! And Trout Mask Replica! This video looks like the show we saw in Atlanta circa 1972?
Captain - Thank you, thank you, thank you for blowing the door off the hinges. It was JUST what we needed! You're STILL ahead of your time, Brother! Fare thee well.
I really love this music. Too bad Van Fliet was a fucking maniac who verbally and physically abused his musicians, paid them very little or not at all, and ran the magic band like a goddamn cult. Someone shoulda beaten the shit outta him.
I hear poor, devolved, ripped-off kids talking about "beats," nowadays and how 'modern' everybody thinks they are. That's sadly comical when you think about and listen to the dynamite these guys were playing with 4 decades ago.
This song's always rattled my bones the right way and made me feel better about being an Earthling. What a band!! Fast Forward....into the Past - and bring it back! Thanks and kudos for posting this to parris43...
I love how Mark Boston's hat falls off at 0:42 and he doesn't seem to notice it. Art Tripp is awesome! Don's voice sounds great here too, they probably blew everybodys' mind.
genuis... saw the cap'n when i was 14 in glasgow, blew the house down... perverted me totally, life's never been the same, even 40 years later, thank god
Has anyone seen the performance of Ashtray Heart from SNL? It's been removed from youtube. Tragedy. On that night they were the best band on earth. A second or two after the band comes to a screeching halt, there is absolute silence. Then from the audience, comes a subdued but definite...Holy Shit!!! Amazing performance.
Light years ahead of his time, saw him at Notts uni in 1972? A hot late summer eve he Stated "Ive got too many fans and not enough Fans" The World aint Stable
I'm sure I already posted here but it bears repeating- on of the greatest concert acts I ever saw was this tour -these guys.
Irks me to no end when crits refer to it as his "commercial period".
This song is a masterpiece PERIOD. Numerous songs from Spotlight Kid and even Clear Spot are A+. Spotlight Kid got played constantly in our apartment in 73.
well what a bonus i saw the captain and the magic band this year(73)at the university of kent along with 500 other people all off whom were trippin thanks to the boys in the lab(free with the orange drink as you went in!!)
First song I ever heard by Beefheart. I was hooked. My friends thought I was zonked (of course I was!). Man, what an artist. I saw the whole movie "Trout Mask Replica".....yes it was a movie...via a little windowpane. There's no substitute for the original. What an artist........ Listen to the original vinyl version...of Mirror Man, still holds the record of the most psychedelic music in the history or man (or woman) kind. WOW
This version, IMO is better than the studio version, as it is fuller, and sounds like it has more oomph to it. Did Beefheart ever release this version?
This isn't experimental, it's simply one of the greatest blues ever produced, and not many other white artists can claim that. Awesome in the real sense of this much overused word.
I enjoy Beefheart's music for the sheer enjoyment of it. I certainly don't expect everyone to enjoy or even understand his music. He does have a unique slant on blues and experimental music and is definately one of music's most colourful characters.
beefheart certainly has his share of fanatics, but so do many cult-pop entities. beefheart was an original and, of course he was a self-promoter, but certainly nothing along the line of today's shameless 'musicians". his music is for those who like avant-garde with a wry smirk...by something that doesn't come through the same factory press as nearly all commercialized pop-pabulum.
start with jim morrison's fans if you want to trash people for worshiping the inane and talentless.
whats the thing with Jim Morrison? Talentless and inane are you crazy? He was a wild beast, man, that' all the shit you want right under your nose, his genitals in your face, y'know? Don't be square, man!
ok, you like jim morrison, you are in good company....i like the doors, but jim morrison leaves me cold. that's all, 'nuff said on the subject. i'll give u the final word.
i really hate the term experimental music, isn't all music meant to be experimental? I don't get prog either... eeh. Beefheart music for Beefheart people. Is it wrong that I feel smarter than people who don't like this?
I think, perhaps, you feel you have a greater awareness and appreciation of music that's more individual like Beefheart's, which has a willingness to take chances. A lot of people have been musically dummied down by aggressively hyped, clone acts who don't challenge them, and therefore, have a low appreciation or tolerance of music that's in anyway different from what they're used to. So, I'd have to say no, not all music is meant to be experimental. Some music is meant to sell massive units.
Bandcouver, you took the words right out of my mouth. People are very unsophisticated when it comes to music nowadays, they don't like tunes that make them think.
For the critics/people who say Captain Beefheart's music was nothing more than just an artsy fartsy music dabbling ego trip. Well, you can just go back to your mindless sheep background music bullshit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know alot of you people love Beefy, but geez, the guy is terrible and all you folks talkof the 7 octaves? He pretty well sucks in all of them. He screams and doesnt use any octives. Oh well, im sure to be crucified over this, but come on, be realistic, naseating at best is beefy boy.The guy cant carry a tune, you all must of been smokeing some pretty stuff to hear that guy as a singer. Now Zappa could sing and play. Not trying to put your hero down , but come on, he sucks.
Listen to Love-lies on The Shiny Beast album, then come back and tell us what you think. Don's voice is beautiful. NOt that we/he have to prove anything, but still....
Maybe you need to stick with the Vanilla Ice and you won't be faced with trying to comprehend something that you obviously aren't equipped to evaluate.

beefheart certainly has his share of fanatics, but so do many cult-pop entities. beefheart was an original and, of course he was a self-promoter, but certainly nothing along the line of today's shameless 'musicians". his music is for those who like avant-garde with a wry smirk...by something that doesn't come through the same factory press as nearly all commercialized pop-pabulum.
start with jim morrison's fans if you want to trash people for worshiping the inane and talentless.

whats the thing with Jim Morrison? Talentless and inane are you crazy? He was a wild beast, man, that' all the shit you want right under your nose, his genitals in your face, y'know? Don't be square, man!

morrison was drug-addled.
beefheart was only pretending to be dissipated.
c.beeheart was always spectacularly coherent when interviewed.
morrisson was a god...to teeny-bopper, reebok wearing, prepubescent girls.

i really hate the term experimental music, isn't all music meant to be experimental? I don't get prog either... eeh. Beefheart music for Beefheart people. Is it wrong that I feel smarter than people who don't like this?

I think, perhaps, you feel you have a greater awareness and appreciation of music that's more individual like Beefheart's, which has a willingness to take chances. A lot of people have been musically dummied down by aggressively hyped, clone acts who don't challenge them, and therefore, have a low appreciation or tolerance of music that's in anyway different from what they're used to. So, I'd have to say no, not all music is meant to be experimental. Some music is meant to sell massive units.

Bandcouver, you took the words right out of my mouth. People are very unsophisticated when it comes to music nowadays, they don't like tunes that make them think.
For the critics/people who say Captain Beefheart's music was nothing more than just an artsy fartsy music dabbling ego trip. Well, you can just go back to your mindless sheep background music bullshit.

I know alot of you people love Beefy, but geez, the guy is terrible and all you folks talkof the 7 octaves? He pretty well sucks in all of them. He screams and doesnt use any octives. Oh well, im sure to be crucified over this, but come on, be realistic, naseating at best is beefy boy.The guy cant carry a tune, you all must of been smokeing some pretty stuff to hear that guy as a singer. Now Zappa could sing and play. Not trying to put your hero down , but come on, he sucks.

Listen to Love-lies on The Shiny Beast album, then come back and tell us what you think. Don's voice is beautiful. NOt that we/he have to prove anything, but still....

Maybe you need to stick with the Vanilla Ice and you won't be faced with trying to comprehend something that you obviously aren't equipped to evaluate.

Beefheart had, like Freddie Mercury, a four-octave vocal range :)
