This live recording of Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band was
taken from a London date during one of the more fierce peaks of the
band's existence, the same period that produced the overlooked classic
masterpiece Clear Spot. Though the session was intended to produce a
live album for Virgin, the release never materialized, though the
versions of "Mirror Man" and "Upon the Me Oh My" came out of the 1975
Virgin sampler V. Thanks to the obscure Portuguese imprint Movie Play
Gold, highlights from the concert made it onto CD at a concise 40
minutes. The disc features nine tracks of full-tilt Magic Band mayhem on
"Full Moon Hot Sun," "Sugar Bowl," "Crazy Little Thing," "This Is the
Day," "New Electric Ride," as well as older '60s classics like "Abba
Zabba" and "Peaches." The CD has exceptional sound quality, while some
other live Captain Beefheart from the same period fares a little rough
in recording quality. This comes highly recommended as an opportunity to
hear the Magic Band at an all-time high.
