Captain Beefheart Live 1971
"If you want to be a different fishy you gotta jump out of the school"
Don van Vliet (1982)
This is Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band led by Don van Vliet (b.1941). Live in Detroit in 1971. It may take some time to orientate yourself to such sound but believe me, it is worth it. From my first hearing the band in the late 1980's I became a fan because of the scope, freedom, pliability, liberation, originality, space, challenge, atmosphere, education, expanse, poetry, and experience of non time that they give and keep giving every fractal time. The Captain is not well these days but he still follows his hairs each day. When he goes the clouds are gonna sigh. I ganna play now...godnight.
