PSLs: Captain Beefheart/The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - oooof!

[C]

Skipper, did you join the BCB outing to the Underworld to see SAHB this century, with the late Alex portrayed by an actor live onstage, and film clip projections?

Bit of a curate's egg, I thought. But quite the celebration of passed achievements (sic).

No Chris - I missed that

Vambo Rools OK

ooooooof!

Head noddin'

Mine Was Tomorrow Belongs To Me.

Fabulous album.

A difficult call.

I'd put a gnat's worst between the first four

If push came to shove it would be between Next and The Impossible Dream

But my vote: The Impossible Dream




.

All great listens.

Listening to this stuff in the US in 1977, I had never heard anything remotely like it.

The best introduction to SAHB?

Debatable.

No it is not.

Sorry pcqgod

Yes, sorry!




.

Actually, not my introduction! I listened to a couple of their studio albums years ago and never got back to them. One of those bands that just didn't quite connect with me, I suppose. But I love live albums, so I'm hoping this listen can give me new appreciation. So far, so good.

It occurred to me when thinking about the tubs - Ted and Rory...

... all the members that played in Rory's band [not Taste] with the exception of Gerry, are dead:

Rory
Wilgar
Ted
Lou
Rod

Sad

Very sad





.

[C]

So far, so good.

Good to hear!

Yes, good to hear lad!!

[John aka Spock aka Josh]

Highly accomplished band - I tend to forget how good they were.

[C]

I'd love to see an extended version of this album

At only 46 minutes, there must be a load more!

Above, The Slider points out that the whole show is on the SAHB boxed set.

Available on it's own? I bet not.

[C]

DEEEEEE-LY-LAHHHH!

[LMG]

The whole show was recorded* and the versions of both Action Strasse and Midnight Moses would have been far better inclusions, in my book.


* the other tracks all appear on the Teenage Idol box set

That's always the problem

I'm not a 'box' dude - demos, alternative takes, etc

Just give me a live gig of excellent quality and sell it separately

One needs to see Delilah performed live to get the full visual effect!!

Tempting, though surprised he's not offering a banana.




I'll take his cherries.

Did they perform it on OGWT?


Have a recall of seeing them perform it for TV. Found Zal mesmerizing.

[pcqgod]

"Framed" is an old rock 'n roll number. Bo Diddley? Lieber/Stoller? I forget who.
