Big Beefheart
In the end, the most remarkable
aspect of the concert was Captain
Beefheart himself. Big-his wife was
off-stage, and it was obvious she has
been fattening him up, deep-voiced,
pulling rubber covers on
microphones, winking at band
members, talking to the crowd,
blowing wildly on his horn; he was
unquestionably on top of the
occasion. He forgot words in a
couple of songs, but just shrugged
his eyes and went on. The last
number consisted of Zoot Horn
Rollo playing a few notes, then
Beefheart singing a few lyrics made
up on the spot, the Rollo again and
back and forth. His last words were,
"We'll be back in five months."
So will the astronauts.
