there is no bigger inspiration in music

Yes, I missed the Captain in Stockholm. But I saw Pink Floyd in Stockholm 1967. Then I thought it was only noice. But Syd Barrett gave me candy. After asking my dad. I was five years then. It was my dad's friend that took them to Stockholm/Sweden.

There are two crazy musicians.. Captain Beefheart and Syd Barrett (former member and founder of Pink Floyd)

i was very lucky to see this tour in s.f.... you got to waite for your woman... this is GREAT !!!! thank you....rockettebob in reno

He saddle-soaps his hair

This is real Dance music, i swear.

This don't half cheer me up 😊

As a bass player I moved from Pomona to Lancaster in 1967, within a few months I met and was friended by the original members of the Magic Band, Alex St. Claire, Mark Boston, Bill Harkleroad, Jeff Cotton, and John French. As a Beefheart Fan Boy It was quite a Life

What a talent

Sure Mark E Smith was influenced by this geezer

So that's the style that influenced Tom Waits...

This needs to be on vinyl!!

Parallel fourths

Big Eyed From Venus for our international anthem.

i'd be shocked if les claypool from primus said he wasn't influenced by the captain.

😂got to meet him and hang out his creativity has no limits

never heard of these guys before today. This bass player has got his own sound gonna find out more for sure...guess I wasnt ready for Captn back in the day

Soul music!!

Original feminist, not to mention potent blues vocalist, not to mention genius composer & lyricist and very tasteful hat wearer - that's important too

Interesting. But if I want genius. I know where to go. And it's not hear!

J'étais à ce concert ! / I was at this fantastic concert!

What a 💩 show......People actually paid money to see this?

This is Fucking awesome ❤

Bat Chain Puller . . . Puller Puller

Comments are hilarious. Reminds of those Charlie Tuna commercials from the 60's and 70's. "Hey Starkist....check me out listening ta dis genius art music avanty-garde stuff, pretty good taste I got, eh?" (voice answers) "Sorry Charlie, Starkist don't want tunas with good taste, they want tunas that taste good". Stick with it, though. The Shaggs, Tiny Tim, Florence Foster Jenkins, Pitbull, Captain Beefheart. You'll figure it out eventually.

Mascara snake , winged eel fingerling , zoot horn rollo … awww heel yass 👍🍄💐🥰

Most underrated musician I've ever heard !!!

All those songs could be as South Park themes. around year 2000 when i was 20, i bought Trout Mask Replica because my father told me the story about how it was made and that Captain was a childhood friend of Zappa and their genius stuff etc. And also that album was on all the lists of best Albums made in the Century. I really tried to listen and got a minute or two fulfilling but i hated it. But since then i have been listening and he's a Shaman, differently Wired, i love him.

Great!

It'll take me a few days to process what I just saw...wow!

Although this may be The Best Batch Yet, I still miss Zoot Horn Rollo's guitar work in the mix.

Genius!

i think this level of complexity is still unmatched today? un-be-lievable. thank you so much seman for letting me watch this. All Hail the Doc!

'...I use music as an irritant' - as it should be. If you're comfortable in rock, you're doing it wrong.

Captain ,oh my Captain!!! I love 'er musick!!!

Non si riesce a smettere di sentirlo. Troppo particolare

Crap...crap in Nov 1980 and crap now. Self indulgent Zappaporn. Not music, never music. This is the stuff that made Spinal Tap's parody so on target. Wherever you are, in heaven or hell Captain Beefheart, go fuc*k yourself. Aside from you sculpting the odd worthy art object as a kid, everything else you did in life was garbage.

Do you have any idea how f*cking FUN this is? NONE of your preferred bands would DARE cross the Don Van Vliet line of creativity. Unless...you just baited us in here and you love it! Yeah....... you love it. .....me too......

I think this is the bEst bAtch yEEEEEEETT!!!!!! (; I watch this set weekly lol

Tepper & Snyder are the only guitarists who can play a solo worth a dam

Shit's tight.

A true genius, like Robert Wyatt, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Syd Barrett, Henry Threadgill, Arthur Lee, Albert Ayler, Nick Cave, Duke Ellington, The Residents, Anthony Braxton, Pere Ubu, Tom Waits, Jelly Roll Morton, Terry Riley, Tuxedo Moon, Cream, Eric Dolphy, Steve Coleman, Billie Holiday, Steve Lehman.................

This guy sucks. Suffering from the worsest of cases

Saw Beefheart with this band in Portland By far the loudest concert ever❤❤❤

le capitain de beefheart, le french post-modernists can step aside, now everywhere I go, all the women know, that I know, There ain't no any other place to go, but there. Best batch yet.

terrible shit

Captain The Great!! While much of the music from the 60s and 70s has become anachronistic, Captain Beefheart's music sounds as if it could have been created just as well yesterday and is timeless.

Some people think Boston & Blue Oyster Cult were great bands .....too...... .

It is an acquired tastelessness for sure. I haven't listened to Beefheart for 20 odd years but am enjoying it more than before. The band is amazing, tight knit and relentless and the discordant quality wonderful. Love it or hate it I am sure. Anarchic modal 60's flower power rock at its best.

This is great! He played a mean Blues Harp! And he had a good voice for Blues! I like him! Nowadays a woman’s got to hit a man so he knows she’s there! That’s funny! 😅😊
