Captain Beefheart June 74

This tour featured an entirely new Magic Band who have often been called the Tragic Band. That is a bit unfair but the quality of the previous tours' musicians made them a difficult act to follow. he was also promoting possibly his weakest album "Unconditionally Guaranteed" and the touring band did not play on the album. A tough ask for Beefheart. Onb the positive side he kicked off the show with "Mirror Man". He also did "This is the Day" which is maybe the strongest cut on the album. I can remember the musicians but not their music very strongly. The reality is that we preferred Rockette Morton, Zoot Horn et al and we missed them.
