Released: 18th of Nov 2019 – DOWNLOAD
Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band have a place firmly in the hearts of many who love their music. Never to shy from controversy this version of the Magic Band sees the Captain in a relatively contented situation. Recorded in May 1974, this ‘live’ performance features tracks that were not in the usual Live set.With a new recording contract Don Van Vliet put a band together to present his new material , gentle ballads such as ‘This is The Day’, sidled up to old favourites ‘Crazy Little Thing’ and the epic ‘Mirror Man’,
Don even gives us a consummate version of the Jazz classic ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ and before you know it he’s launching into the ‘bubblegum pop’: ‘Peaches’. A rare collection of Don’s mid seventies material recorded on a night to remember in Cambridge Massachusettes.
