Thanks for posting!

Wow, thanks for this. Recognisably Beefheart but different from anything else of his I've heard - much more peaceful somehow, more 'musical', almost jazz/modern classical - well, except "Owed t'Alex" which I know from "Shiny Beast". I love the images too.

Almost made me cry! Love that man so much! I've been driving people crazy with him since 1970 - but 'converted' 2 ex-wives! Beautiful tribute to The Captain. Thanks for this.

Would love to have seen him do something with Tom Waits...

Great compilation of films and so memories. Love to know what (and where) some of those bits come from - ex : the last bit with Beefheart playing his soprano.
I hope that one day someone can get some of this stuff sorted out in order and release it. It would be lovely to see a real documentary with various interviews from then and of course now - before his old band mates disappear. The best thing I read (the clearest, I suppose) was in the Grow Fins box set, very interesting and informative.

wonderful collage tribute!!
-
Owed T'Alex has to be the best thing since pumpkin pie!!! A complete eargasm!!!
-
these are variations on the 2 awesome instrumentals, "carrot is as close a rabbit gets to a diamond" and "Peon", leading into Bat chain puller. very awesome stuff indeed.

This is some nice quality. Better than Ozit's releases.
This makes me think that this is what the official 2011 release will sound like.
