Our Take

Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band took Amsterdam by storm in 1980 with their electrifying live performance captured on this album. Known for their avant-garde approach to blues and rock, this legendary group did not disappoint with their eccentric showmanship and raw energy. From the moment the first note pierced the air, it was clear that Captain Beefheart was in top form, delivering his trademark growls and guttural vocal acrobatics with unparalleled gusto. The Magic Band, as always, provided the perfect backdrop of dissonant chords and jazzy rhythms, creating a sound that was both chaotic and mesmerising. Tracks like "Bat Chain Puller" and "Tropical Hot Dog Night" showcased the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and defy categorisation. Each song was a sonic journey, taking listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions and musical textures that left them breathless and begging for more. The live recording on this album truly captures the essence of Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band at their best. It is a must-listen for any fan of experimental music or those looking to expand their musical horizons. So, grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the twisted mind of Captain Beefheart. Trust us, you won't regret it.
