Henry Kaiser: I remember one show that I went to at Tufts University in the Boston area back in October of 1971. Mississippi Fred McDowell was the opening act - one of his last gigs - and you could hear the direct connection between his Delta blues and the space age blues of the Beefheart band. I recall Bill and Mark playing a thundering Peon in that college gymnasium and finally an incredible improvised solo from Elliot Ingber on Alice in Blunderland that made the floor fall away below my feet and impelled me to go out and purchase my first guitar, a black Telecaster that I would later modify with a DeArmond pickup to emulate Zoot - a guitar that I still sometimes play today.

I was at this show. Elliott Ingber's solo on Alice in Blunderland this night made me go out and buy my first guitar the next day
