speaking of captain beefheart, the audio to this vid is an example of how we usedta hear this stuff: on shitty nth generation audience tapes. lo fidelity aside, it really hit home that this music wasn't just chaos hearing bands other than the ones that recorded the songs, playing 'em note for note. thisun hadn't been on a rekkid yet when we first heard it, or when we saw don and the magic band play at my father's place on long island and the bottom line in manhattan, summer of '77. it showed up on shiny beast in the summer of '78.
