Captain Beefheart Upon The My O My Old Grey Whistle Test 1974

[gratefulape12]

Which album is this on?

[finbarr1962]

@gratefulape12 It's on Unconditionally Guaranteed

[dharmasack]

Okay, who's the 1 person who dislikes this?  Did Sarah Palin visit this youtube channel? ...That's the only explaination which makes sense to me.

[MaldororsHead]

ace. 

[theMacvarish]

I watched this when I was 12.

It was a " road to Damascus" moment.

[KardKing66]

The guitar solo is so much better than on the record

[pattioros]

:-)

[sarahacres]

LOVE it! Such a character.

[Stonedog1746]

incredible

[TheDutchHippie]

Missing ingridients of today's music.....

Bucket full of speed

At least 3 days of not sleeping

Alot of alcohol

Total creativity

Freedom

Balls

etcetc...

[tgarbrecht100]

@TheDutchHippie great comment

[insensiblegradations]

A stunning performance full of mischief and powerful singing by the late great Don van Vliet. A much underrated song too. Anyone who thought Don was over the hill at this stage in his musical career was most definitely wrong. Long live the good Captain!

[blabalkan]

@insensiblegradations

I agree. Fuck those critics , bunch of d-bags!

[MrWildcountry]

Safe as Milk

[JimmyPage97]

1:59 that part is sweet

[RockHistoryTube]

Great video.

STAY ROCK.

[Mrbordershock]

to be honest, i dont care what anyone say's, i like captain beefheart's music and if you really think about it, it's better than all the shitty rap music we hear alot these days

[jolapele]

KLASYKA; powrót do przeszłości:)

[niriop]

Love the spastic clawing at the end; a mad genius to say the least

[tgarbrecht100]

@niriop so funny man, watch at 3:09 till the end...he backs up and tries to fake-out the camera man. 

[milkhousen]

Thank you for uploading a version of this track without those two idiots introducing it for 10 minutes!

[MrV1C7OR]

Moustache Band !!!

[aakkoin]

ah tell me good captain!!!

[beowulf3075]

Tight, great musicianship.



[natmanprime]

...very mainstream sounding...hadta straighten up for the man..

great tune tho

[aakkoin]

@natmanprime yep, the album "unconditionally guaranteed" is totally pop... very good, but not classic beef. this is honestly much better than on the album, just like the "this is the day" from this same show...

[natmanprime]

@aakkoin i notice he wears shamanic bracelets, turqouise is an important colour to the sanusi shamans of the Zulu don't you know

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

im weirder than cptn beefheart without question

[SionMorel]

@BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS

Pretty egocentric comment, well done to you.

[JonP1961]

@BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS

you're 1/2-way there, carrot snapper.

come back when you're also weirder than cptn beefheart with question..

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@JonP1961 no, carrot stick

[RevolutionUSSR]

Acid is a hell of a drug. Rip Captain

[smokehogg]

great shirt don !

[mobo]

where'd you get this footage - can you get it on vhs/dvd ?

[SgtDonuts]

all magic band members were required to have bitchin mustaches by this point apparently

[vincentpricesnephew]

@SgtDonuts i miss that time. i have a theory: most music sucks now because most bands don't grow mustaches or beards. look at Justin Beiber and that rat's nest on his head

[MrMattvj]

@vincentpricesnephew There's not enough influence of the Blues being used either, thats where all the good stuff comes from

[asubjectiveopinion]

@vincentpricesnephew

I remember once hearing an old man from Kentucky use the phrase, "shaven like a banker" and it's been stuck in my thought-box ever since.

[vincentpricesnephew]

@asubjectiveopinion that is awesome!

[wipers86]

@vincentpricesnephew music only sucks if you listen to mainstream music it has always been shit discover some bands that aren't that known of and you'll realize music of today doesn't suck what so ever just mainstream sucks

[wipers86]

@vincentpricesnephew music of today doesn't suck the mainstream music of today sucks but the bands that aren't known of today are good stop counting on mainstream music to be good because it never has been good full stop once you learn of music that's not in the mainstream you'll understand complaining about no good music is silly because there still is good music you just have to look for it or be more open minded to when people tell you about good bands to actually check them out

[nicustoicescu1967]

RIP Captain.

[dclaman]

Do people know who the other musicians are? Thanks!

[VainJangling]

Ho-ho-ho. Hi-hi-hi.

[porcupineplant]

The Don

[1969alias]

Does anyone know who the keyboard player is?

[kahaki]

forever and always i love you, Captain.

[greasyrailman]

Touch.

RIP

[vangelisideras]

RIP, gran capitán

[PRUNABULAX]

[etypebob]

RIP!

[frediablo]

Classic performance ! I always come back to it. RIP Captain

[mdbiscan]

[AmericanPunkGarage]

When ever i think of the Capt. i think of Frank Zappa. May they both be jamming together in Heaven.

[69Tiburoncito]

R.I.P., genius....
