Fuckin A! I have been on a bit of a Beefheart kick after downloading some neat bootlegs from Egg City Radio (the site formerly known as Post Punk Junk). Sure nuff n' yes I do.
Electricity!
Ah yes, the Captain.
I believe that the first time I ever pogoed, it was to Bongo Fury. He's great. There would certainly be no Pere Ubu would it were not for the Captain.
Great clip, KC. It almost looks the set from SNL. What show is this from?
Clevo Bob,
Not sure, but it does look like the SNL set. That's where I thought it was from.
Righto about Pere Ubu. I came to CB through the music of Pere Ubu. I thank them for that profusely.
Kenosha Kid,
Thanks much for the tip about Egg City Radio. I spent last night downloading stuff from that site!
Captain Beefheart appeared on SNL 11/22/80, this is probably that.
Your welcome!
Wow. Major props to Lorne Michaels for airing that 27 years ago. Good investigative work, kk.
I think it is more accurately described as garage. Wonderful garage!
"someone had too much to think last night."
Brilliant. So is the extended cigarette butt metaphor.
Trey
KC --
That is absolutely brilliant -- I can't believe that was ever on TV.
However, we must remember: Our generation had an existential decision to make -- whose Diddy Wah Diddy was better -- Beefheart's or the Remains!!!!
Steve,
There is also a vid for "Hot Head" on YouTube from the same show.
Love the use of the mellotron on that song. "Open up a case of the punks!"
BTW, tho' I love the Remains dearly, I have to go with CB's version just because of his Howlin' Wolf voice.
