Captain Beefheart - Clear Spot

[ooroozima]

found my clear spot

[mfoutis]

I don't need Captain Morgan, Kangaroo, Crunch or Planet as long as I've got Beefheart.

[quillber]

thumbs up if Things We Lost In The Fire brought you here.. it made Benicio's character much more interesting. <3 it.

[1sortedman]

THIS is the most important album of the 20th century

life changing,.releasing the inner being from conventional musical genres' limits

Don Van Vliet ..Genius R.I.P

[curiouscasemusic]

swampy, grimey and his voice sounds like rocks...awesome

"T'aint fine my kinda folks havin' fun...

I have to run, run, run, run, run

To find a clear spot!"

Take me back to the bayous Captain! This is the title track to what I consider to be Beefheart's finest album... and he produced some really fine albums too, ever since his very first, 'Safe as Milk', which is a close personal second fave...

hipnotic, bayou, desert, piramids, bamboo, moisty, gizzo...

[Happysundaze]

Greatness

[bedminster2]

The fucking business - lost my job to Beefheart - to this and I'm Gonna Booglarize You - slapped some jug-eared cunt - it's what the Captain would've wanted

bring back hanging!

[BestOfHungary]

Very strange song, but I like it

[TrashcanBoogie]

tony joe white on acid. a 1972 82nd airborne ft. bragg favorite.

[jimiscnc]

I always wondered what came first.

Clear Spot the Beefheart song or

Clear Spot the early 70's blotter acid?

One comforting thing about the loss of Don is that I learned from comments of Artie Tripp that Don always had a deep respect for his High School pal Frank Zappa. Artie not so much.

[elemantal13]

ummmm what do you even say to this?

[Maguirearch]

My Fav Beefheart Song...Creates a wonderfull Louisiana Sticky heat swamp vibe and images in my head ...so deep down, dirty, nitty & gritty...

[angie4josh]

addictive stuff right here. funny as hell, I can picture this dude tromping through a swamp with a discusted look on his face. LOL

[MrBluedingo]

One hell of a clear spot now hes gone, gone to howl at the moon!

[jeremy1000100]

Nice to have known you Capt'n

[rpriv2000]

Just one of scores of brilliant tracks.

[Jimyblues]

I missed a chance to meet him.. but I seen him many times and the shows were grand- this song is it!

[kronosync]

"Across the light, across the night, you can hear the Captain's cry"

RIP VAN VLIET

[soakupthesunman]

Wow this sure stood out in it's day... a great sound.

I remember thinking this guy must do things HIS way.

He apparently did.

[lovevolv]

"swamp's all rotten an stinkin"

[superfuzzymomma]

The lawn is full of crows today, Don. R.I.P.

[dustyorb]

So Long Don...... R.I.P.

[emwprops]

[DylanBuckle]

Aw, Beefheart rocks rolls and rules, what a groovy dude!

[ropebelldinglin]

a mouse coughed cotton threw a screen door cracked sand.

[cosmicrider287]

brilliance and captain beefheart in one breath.

[theseustoo]

Thanks for posting this; I still have a vynil copy of this album, but this track and also 'Big Eyed Beans' have suffered badly from pissed pratts at parties picking up the pickup arm to replay the good bits, which consequently became the bad bits!

Much appreciated! Fantastic stuff!

:)

[billie3joe3armstrong]

know this from the movie "things we lost in the fire" i searched a very long time.now i found it and i LOVE it :D

[im4out]

ahhhhhhh..... the captain......i have to run so far to find a clear spot.....

[Mermaid6996]

A truly original talent - I love this track and its namesake album. Funky, funny, surreal and a touch sad at times. Worth a listen...
