Captain Beefheart - Ice Cream for Crow (HIgh Resolution)

[savagecabage]

jeees id hate to see the low resolution version!

[pikeywyatt]

and then paint a pitcher

[pikeywyatt]

tell me a story 

[75amoeba]

I saw Captain beefheart at the Dome in Brighton in 74, he was so mental. The Spotlight kid is my favorite album. He was a genius.

[McSqueaky]

It's like if Gene Ween was from the Rocky Mountains and Dean Ween was from the deep south.

[nosleep62]

Love it! Thanks for sharing

[cwodragon]

The dude is a genious.

[adolfGoooglification]

Being rejected by MTV USA for being 'too weird' is a backhanded compliment really.

[yayaman57]

It looks like they taped this at Joshua Tree national Park.

some of Tom Waits music sound almosy EXACTLY like this!

[paulnuk]

@yayaman57 Yes, Tom Waits is certainly influenced by Beefheart

[ezraloomis]

@paulnuk strangely, waits said he never really listened to him

[DieselDaveDeMarco]

I think this is for people who "GET IT" all others probably press dislike!!!!

[281Marauder]

The Sun ain't stable.

[lesbianpanic]

I still think this video was the inspiration for walter white

[mindsearrecords]

MTV is too normal.  this video is just right.

[apesmalink]

Thank the omnipotent universe and it's tiny pointed beak for the Captain. Well we'll all get well.

[leiposuctie]

tabs anyone :D !?(hehehehe)

[tgarbrecht100]

Skop/Jumbles - explain this song to me...new BF fan here

[Tullvideoclips]

@tgarbrecht100 Woah! How do you explain Beefheart? I don't know, really, how to explain this to you. But I fucking love it!

[SkopTeocratico]

Great Captain, this is your day!

[jumbles1957]

I can't listen to this song without feeling happy.

"STOP THE SHOW!!!!!

I NEED TO SAY 'HELLO'!!!!"

To the crow

On a fire piano

[Toobaluba]

HTF is 240 "HIgh Resolution"?

Thumbs down for dishonesty.

[SuperCoolDudesVideos]

@Toobaluba You obviously haven't been around YouTube since it's beginning days, they didn't even have a Resolution option in 2006 and everything had to be in 240p.

[MrV1C7OR]

Sorry, but i just can't avoid to LOL so hard everytime i see 0:24

[alexsweeley]

I love the Captain, but I don't think he's ever owned a boat.

[MobiusBandwidth]

@alexsweeley he didn't need a boat to be captain.

[cruxofthebisquite22]

You gotta love the eccentric creatives. They sure make life interesting.

[OppressedAnarchist]

I listen to BeefHeart when I need to return to reality !!!

[OppressedAnarchist]

My favourite album is "the Mirror Man sessions"

[ElGrandeBlanco]

I have always loved Beefheart. You should too.

[grandad1903]

......and this is music? I have rarely heard such discordant screeching. Mine ears are offended.

[dotytanner]

@grandad1903 My*

[shmutzman]

@grandad1903 That's a pretty common reaction to the Captain's music. It took months for his music to grow on me.

[hmerenheimo82]

at last i hear it, Captin wante uso live in an illusion, so as tho that there wouldnt be anymore cages. Only spaces. It all makes sense now, thrice ploundered is thrice victor

[jorge772098]

empece a escuchar captain beefheart hace muy poco y me encanta ,no puedo creer que nunca lo habia escuchado esta muy bueno ,lamento no descubrirlo antes es increible.

[pedrosoles]

No me des la mano, dame tu garra........

Esta tonada la oí hoy en esos videos que pasan en el BCP.

[Mrbordershock]

1:13 there goes his hat....

[bluman892]

did i die?

[puckering1]

Love the opek melodes of Beefheart & Zappa.

[DihColorado]

dude wtf is this?

[seraphima91]

So far, this is my favorite video of his. A nice one to go out on!

[glossaryan]

Absolutely! My crow is agreed with me........

[MegaCokamo]

I get a sense from this song, sounds timeless

[altohippiegabber]

the only real music-video the Captain ever made and you can still see it every now and then on MTV (at night when MTV actually airs musicvideos instead of those stupid shows that dont have ANYTHING to do with music they show the rest of the day)

[CoreyWCook]

@altohippiegabber

MTV still plays music? Thought it was Jersey Shore 24/7?

[asubjectiveopinion]

In 1988 I dated a woman who claimed not to like this.

I still think she was lying.

[RoonJazz]

@asubjectiveopinion I'm a young woman and I like this - so she MUST have been lying. x

[ShermanOaks1972]

@asubjectiveopinion hahahahaha!

[76skelton]

@asubjectiveopinion she must have been a witch by monty python standard's.made of wood????? did she float???this coment was made by brave sir robin who ran away n done a bunk

[littlecave]

@asubjectiveopinion yeah she is a lier.

[bntptl]

what is this guy singing.. anyone care to explain

[LandRoverMan]

@bntptl A strange and crazy sequence of mystic words.

[reldditmot]

@bntptl You're kidding right? He's singing about.. contrast between black & white!

[jeffv10]

an1 got grow fins rarities

[jeffv10]

an1 got grow fins rarities

[Bram25]

@jeffv10

I have the box, and it fucking rocks, although it was quite expensive at the time.

(About 75$)

But boy, you get to understand Don and his music, and how difficult it is at times!

[misterdirtyknees]

The sun ain't stable.

[Aioner1997]

Ayay Capitan i love it :D

[levanyzzuf]

Why is there a man in a Super Mario costume...?

[HumanBornFree]

@levanyzzuf For contrast. ;)

[sguss2024]

Don, Did Mario ever give you that show! sguss

[themrsluggo]

Jerry Seinfeld on lead guitar.

[Makurasen]

@themrsluggo What has been seen cannot be unseen

[Tonyfaster]

I love how all you pseudo-intellectuals pretend to like this garbage just to seem superior to other people.

[slnd666]

@Tonyfaster no you dipshit, we listen to this music b/c we think it sounds good. just b/c you don't like it doesn't mean you have to be a prick about it.

[SwingRiots]

@Tonyfaster I love how ironic it is that you're accusing people of pretention, when doing so in the way you did is equally pretentious.

[Honeysucklebommie]

@Tonyfaster Its only taste, Im far from an intellectual, Im a marble mason IQ apparently 127 care factor .03 Anyway some music is like painting; when its intricate,it can be way too much for some peoples taste and thats great cause life would bore me if we were all the same. Intricate stuff you can return to it and find more each time. This here from The Magic band isnt my favorite.Very early 60s stuff is 70s is; as is the Best batch yet era. Beefheart is a huge gallery of works, all varied.

[missopan]

Heh, the freakband..

[JaZzure79]

Love this track, and I love me some CB, but the mustache/hat/glasses unfortunately make him look like the media-generated image of a pedophile.

[jacekgralak]

beefheart was a madman..love this song



[awageam81]

かっこいい！

[johnnyray1717]

This is totally acid/ mushroom music. It's fine sober but, it's even better while high. O_o "Greetings from Lancaster California !"

[rhombusskullvsteal]

@johnnyray1717 probably, because in my experience listening to primus directly before my acid trip sent me into the best trip imaginable.

[thebluebaboons]

i came here because of blueeyed boy .

[patkenlaws]

It sounds like a parody of his earlier genius stuff

[KillingLies1]

this is pretty difficult to like, but ill try with some records.

[Witchcrownedwithweed]

@KillingLies1 Do you really think so? I find it as some kind of bizarre children tale. Magic mushrooms help.

[barbarellatx]

Amazingly wonderful!

[cityhoss]

This is the best record ever made, Don you were the greatest

[fat8622]

When I listen to Beefheart, it's like I see the true power of music. His jagged melodies just speak to my soul

[skener69]

Ice Cream for Crow WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

[johnnyray1717]

@skener69 The answer lies beyond the relms of reason.

[SeeScottSpaz]

3:40 is where they filmed the movie seven.

[rAsphkA]

i wanna say hello to the crow....RIP_DON

[whitepoeticwarrior]

This guy reminds me of an old cantankerous, cranky man who instead of yelling or complaining AT the band ... he walks in and joins them to spew out tirades WITH them. haha ... great stuff. First time I've heard of him. Interesting fellow.

[freeman2545]

@whitepoeticwarrior in his time...he was very inventive...not main stream...but influenced a lot of main stream artist....he was a real innovator.....very smart dude....i think he was a genious...see letterman interview with him....tested out as genius.....did other things than music..this was just one of his creative outlets...painted ...wrote.....check into him.....you might become a believer....

[whitepoeticwarrior]

@freeman2545

Oh, I believe you. He's definitely interesting. I will check out the letterman interview for sure.

[angie4josh]

It's a keeper.

[patje130]

fuck! ! i didnt know he died!an originil musician has gone and nobody give's a damn.what a shame.now he can jam with zappa.r.i.p captain my captain

[guyglowmore1]

hey jeff tepper if your still alive i wanna say hi. you trained my to be a vet asst at wilshire animal hospital, then went on with the capn. at the time you were living in topanga and i went from santa monica to malibu. i always admired you. you seemed to have it pretty together. plus you were more experienced on guitar. (jealous). hey this is a great vid in many ways. classic!

[cityhoss]

Don, RIP

[nillychoirpop]

reminds me of the voice of tom waits

[TheTinCanHitMan]

@nillychoirpop well that's because the captain was one of wait's musical influences. Don't just believe me too, look it up.

[nillychoirpop]

@TheTinCanHitMan thanks i am now a believer

[danisoaresduarte]

Bom demais!!! Way too good!!!!

[12345thechickmagnet]

what the hell is wrong wit u guys...... this song is soooooo messed up

[jamistrobotica]

This song about halfway in started making my heart beat like 3 times as fast holy hell awesome!

[cwodragon]

This guy was the shit. Very original, very cool, RIP Captain Beefheart.

[vanessa000fly]

not bad...

he is so crasy!

[eyerock36]

1:24 the guitarist looks like Seinfeld

[azzummm]

@eyerock36 sienfeld looks like him

\

[OzKrazien]

I still catch myself singing this one walking down the street :D

[efan2011]

This song is so awesome that it is impossible to describe. RIP Dear Captain

[Brock2097]

most important:

"beneath the symbol

we'll all assemble

oh how we'll fly

oh how we'll tremble"

[PinkcoltheGIRL]

LUV DON AND MISS HIM

[snottydyck]

our wedding song

[gouvyrock]

americana!!!!!

[TheMzazi]

are that marijuhana plants there at 2:00 ?

[MildPsychedelic]

I like this song because it's quirky, you can call it a piece of art, call it crap, call it whatever you want. Truth is there will be nothing like it. It's unique, and thats why I like it...

... That and the 'rhythm' of the slide guitar is just really funky in it's own way.

[notnowliberty]

something special for us mortals, and we should miss him more than we miss JC (I dom't miss him that much), JFK (nice investigation), MLK jr (now that's where people stopped standing idly by...)

[angie4josh]

White HaaaaAAAAAAAAAT on a pumpkin!

LMAO

[DimensionsofChange]

When did Jed Clampett join Primus?

Not funny?

[Arbiter567]

He's such a crazy old fool in this. But he's a genius.

[godsrighthandfull]

I dont think Van Vliet would have minded, I'd like to think he would've encouraged me but while watching this Vid I decided to see if the music alone would make the flies in my lounge want to leave ,if I opened the window,you know, if I turned up the volume...The result was interesting. 5 left immediately (2 returned later).. Of the eight remaining..3 got closer to the speaker.. 4 edged further away...And one little fella stayed put.I'd like to think that He was The Captain..I'll never Know

[Siste4366]

Traurig!R.I.P. Donald van Van Vliet ! Du bist und bleibst einer meiner ""Favorites"",wenn jetzt auch noch Ferry,D.Thomas,Cave,Biafra,Bow­ie diese Welt verlassen,schmeisse ich meinen Sansui 9090 dB auf die Strasse!SISTE

[944BigAl]

In parts this mirrors Zappa's "Don't you eat the yellow snow", in finding lines that all rhyme with 'o'

Top track, sadly he's gone now

[DaZeuhlUndazir]

this song is amazing, the captain is the man. I have a bunch of songs uploaded on my youtube, this guy had such an impact on the way I write songs it's ridiculous. I love you captain.

[jaycardz]

this song gets me high

[TheDejael]

Was this guy permanently on acid?

[comeonewtf]

The sun ain't stable, huh?

[jeffdeanable]

This is awesome. Totally. Out of site.

[gliddyg]

I like the Captain's earlier work, but this is hideous.

[DimensionsofChange]

Kinda sounds like Primus was influenced by this Beeheart fella

[MrNicespaces]

@DimensionsofChange;

Nice observation!

Thanks.

[DimensionsofChange]

@MrNicespaces The guitar just had that Tommy the cat, John the Fisherman, chicken scratch Disco/funk/country/ska guitar to it.

[rwk1983]

@DimensionsofChange so was Beck (old), so was tons of "alternative" bands

[gdeblaauw]

Thank you Captain Beefheart. You've been a part of my life for 40 years.

[sonicdeath10]

Oh wow the Captain uncredited somebody for helping him? Sounds like the Cap. Now, before people get up in a hizzy I have to say I fucking Love Captain Beefheart and have spent this whole day listening to him. But no one's an angel and this man is definitely not.

[MRBORGHEAD]

1:23 press this button over and over again

[MRBORGHEAD]

1:13 hell... 

[Powderwombat]

240p is high res?

[IbonedDerekDsister]

If I could shit music out of my ass, this is what it would smell like.

[under00ice]

@IbonedDerekDsister Interesting. Do you have synesthesia? I do; mine’s sort of a combination of spatial-sequence synesthesia and ordinal linguistic personification. It’s pretty fun.

I can’t ‘smell’ sound though. I think the form you have is pretty rare. I’m jealous :P

[IbonedDerekDsister]

@under00ice Yes, that's exactly what I have.

[foathkent]

@under00ice that is preeeetty common breh.

[freespeech4u2]

@under00ice well I can't smell at all so consider yourself lucky (but I can strangely still taste, go figure XD)

[rhombusskullvsteal]

@under00ice that sounds insane

[synesthesia123]

@under00ice Ive got it haha

[TeenageWildlife]

@IbonedDerekDsister I would be forever grateful to my digestive system if I was able to shit out music that smelled like Captain Beefheart.

[IbonedDerekDsister]

@TeenageWildlife Ok, tell you what. Come over here and I'll take a shit in your mouth, you fuckin' fag.

[angie4josh]

@IbonedDerekDsister is it too late to jump out of a hat?

[DrButler]

This is the most insane thing I've ever seen.

[controvers]

sensationell ...

[zeromeobass]

Great tribute article about the Captain in Mojo or some piece of crap.

[nostolgia]

2:56-2:58 is my favorite

[FunkyFellaDaBassist]

Ahh young Cliff Martinez:D

Before he was playing drums in sock on his cock:D

[lynchblair]

he's gone, we'll never see or hear his elk again......

[ninjachipzanuff]

this man needs help

[drv509]

rest in peace captian

[MrVinushka]

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous.

[reddyredd]

1:45 Who Said That? Me?!

[HannahVampire]

This always makes me happy.

[appraiser4063]

Oh Captain, my Captain!!

[sugarydonkey]

Not really High Resolution though, is it?

[UberGut]

‎'Iceland: Beyond Sigur Ros' (2011). A new Anglo-Icelandic Music Documentary! Enjoy for FREE! :)

[HannahVampire]

Aww i cant believe he is gone. We've lost another legend. But never will he be forgotten.

[FungusMossGnosis]

Great, but since when is 240p "High Resolution"?

[andygray]

Brilliant, thanks for all the wonderful music, you made me happy so many times.

[angie4josh]

I wish he was my dad.

[fjohnson747]

@angie4josh Maybe you wouldn't if you knew how badly he treated the musicians that formed his musical family.

[ttcarlisle]

Wild and wonderful, twisted, surreal Boogie. Raises the general level of JOY! Aye, aye, Captain.

[fastnbulbouss]

;-)....

[MikeInVentura]

Me Love.

[beerbottlehead]

ace

[Thunderspaz]

the captain rocks.

[angie4josh]

I dont know why MTV would'nt air this. I think they're ratings would have went way up.

[ZeroMemPtr]

Funny song

[tomlop]

Rest in Peace, Don Vliet. You were a genius, and nobody knew.

[Beus59]

RIP Captain; you were the very best

[EbClectic]

I don´t quite understand his music. But i think he was a genius. I didn´t know of Captain Beefheart until they reported his death recently.

[illuminatijews]

Captain you were, and are an inspiration to us all. Thanks for not sticking to conventional methods of making music. I think you were highly underrated, and are truly one of the greats in my book, RIP.

[22018]

shit man. didn't know he passed away! rip

[federation9]

Amazing!

Solong Captain!

[angie4josh]

what the fuck

[ClarkeMarek]

I just now heard. RIP dear Captain.

[Dolomede]

My God, I heard about his death on the very formal weekly BBC Radio 4 obituary programme. How times have changed for us all. I expect he would have found it hilarious! Rest awhile, Captain.
