great job on 'Big Eyed Beans'.. really enjoyed this. Fantastic that someone is keeping the Captain's music alive still.

[@ronniechilds2002]

Ain't that the truth. These cats NAILED IT.

[@jimbailey1122]

You guys are great. Im turning 59 on Oct 15th and at this age of my life I have rediscovered The Captain. Its GREAT to hear such a wonderful version of Big Eyed Beans from Venus, its my favorite Capt Beefheart Tune. Thankyou!

[@ronniechilds2002]

I'm replying here in 2020, so I'm from the future, sorta. But I know what you mean--I've rediscovered the Captain a few times over these 5 decades plus.

[@citizenterryk]

not often that anybody manages to top Beefheart on his own turf.......these guys do

[@ToddMason]

Firetruckin' wicked!

[@hiddenfire65]

Well done. Beautiful actually.

[@MrFlyingdoctor72]

I've heard lots of Beefheart covers... and this is by far the best one I've heard :)

[@ombowstring4395]

I AGREE !!!!

[@BlueBagooKidsSongs]

Didn't hurt to start with an absolutely killer song. But then they slayed it.

[@adammarshall9225]

I didnt think anybody else would be able to do this song justice but this lot are brilliant, just as good as John French & Magic Band's version.

[@fractuss]

Yea, the drummer is bad-ass.
