Captain Beefheart - Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man

[@bobgure]

KZbin is so fking fantastic. How else could I just sit here in my room and watch this brilliant art! Don Vliet is the Great One! The band is tight as shit! As one would expect. Saw them in 1980 in NYC..Twice in one night Irving and midnite at Mudd Club. Yeah, I'm bragging!! You betcha. Wouldn't you? Best show ever!!!

Unique, someone like the Captain could never happen again in todays cultural desert.

[@softclay4thought]

This man's voice had a phenomenal range and his ability to structure music in the most unique way. No other person like him. Should have been at Woodstock! From the album CLEAR SPOT in 72. Great album! Love the delivery of the lyrics and the guitar work on HER EYES ARE A BLUE MILLION MILES and MY HEAD IS MY ONLY HOUSE UNLESS IT RAINS.

@softclay4thought👍👍

[@scottvaughn7062]

My favorite Captain album!!

[@stephenrudd1004]

Timeless genius with humility!

[@AnthonyCZeccaSr]

Clear Spot - one of the best assembly of interesting music ever assembled. Genius in my humble opinion.

[@jaxterboy]

Always loved his music. If I were stranded on a desert island with only one record, it'd be Beefheart!

[@Anglosaxon69]

I'd drop a tab to that!

[@shirleypena4133]

OMG, I LOVE THIS MAN!!! Not a day goes by that I don't miss the good Captain. ❤❤

[@sweenyrazor]

Saw him in 1972 in Detroit. Now I'm in the habit of playing "Click Clack" for hours on end. He was a music shaman. Thanks for everything Don. RIP

[@GreenManalishiUSA]

Some Magic Band members have described Beefheart as musically naive... that he had no idea how all the musical parts fit together, and that he depended on his musicians, especially John French, to make it all work. While there may be some truth to that, it is amazing how well Don could reproduce his singing parts when performing live. He clearly knew what he wanted, and he found extraordinarily talented musicians to bring it to life.

[@beep200]

Natural talent. He was a painter, not a musician. He had the vision but not the steps it took to produce the vision, which is why a crucial piece of his genii is is the fact that he surrounded himself with people who were technically proficient and could help him translate. Truly beautiful

[@teknofonix]

genius at work - you will live forever in my heart captain..

[@periurban]

I saw this tour in Glasgow, Scotland. Half empty theatre, but a great gig.

[@workingclasshero8262]

i am listening the guy 12 years i and still love it . no one else does that to me

[@Honeysucklebommie]

Could not of got through my youth without Dons works his varying Magic bands and their magnificence. Rage on forever Capt, we salute you.

[@vidarlarsen748]

This is probably the most funny lyrics in any song. Y' gotta wait for your woman Let her know you're there ( !!!)

[@musads]

I have loved the captain for over 25 yrs!!!!!

[@Jack-vy6uo]

I had the pleasure of knowing Don and FZ and saw them both many times

[@senileanimal79]

My favorite Beefheart song

[@j.t.7068]

Simply amazing.

[@s1ygirl]

Rest Well, Don. And thank you so much for many years of fantastically amazing music and art.

[@Ramentastic]

Zoot Horn Rollo is amazing

[@stuartmaxwell6772]

One of the greatest guitar players of our generation. Absolute legend.

[@sharonbodea7677]

But it's Jeff Moris Tepper on this...

[@MartijnHover]

It is "My head's my only house unless it rains

[@senileanimal79]

My favorite Beefheart song! Thanks for posting...

[@franklinrwful]

A true one off. As funky as it gets. Beefheart had some of the best slide players, Ry Cooder, Dan Harkleroad (aka Zoot Horn Rollo) and Jeff Maurice Tepper.

[@TheWonderStraw]

I love the beat. That beginning harmonica intro just gets me shuffling

[@andygray]

Thanks for posting this, brilliant.

[@PingvinMcNugget]

Been looking for this song, thanks.

[@chrisburchardt]

I love the way you say that. None of my women ... I digress

[@reelden]

saw him do it in berkeley awesome thanks for posting

[@bobgure]

@Israfvel It was the night after Lennon was killed. "This is for John, from Don" is how he began both shows. I don't remember much except Bat Chain Puller, Sun Zoom, Big Eyed Beans. Crazy Little Thing... Not sure if "Doc from the Radar" had been released yet... Everything you heard on record was done live....dazzling and fierce.

[@overnite1]

quanto voglio bene al capitano!

[@dogrey]

Thanks for putting these up!!

[@teflonmagnet]

[@sidhrtha]

[@magprob]

[@TerrierBram]

Captain Beefheart ★★★★★

[@johnbutlerjr]

Yes it does! Excellent album, too.. it is a double album, "Spotlight Kid", and "Clear Spot", both similar in style and songs, and "My Head.." is a CLASSIC...I own these gems myself!

[@twittergirl2]

Thanks to WMMR for playing this tune the night Nixon resigned.Great pick.

[@sherriffofhongkong]

Respond to John "Drumbo" French's new music....love it..embrace it.... it's a great extention of the magic band period.......

[@Hewish]

[@magprob]

[@Israfvel]

[@fleischpudding]

I'm probably the only person in the world who understands his music

[@sharonbodea7677]

You flatter yourself too much.

[@GregRenoff]

[@jethrodassam]

Is this a joke?
