I recorded this during the Magic Band's brief UK tour of 2004 as the Magic Band without Don Van Vliet.
I have to say I am no great fan of Beefheart, I was there to see Fire Engines who had reformed after 22 years specifically to play support at this gig,
Captain Beefheart being a major influence on their sound.
I have to say though I was pleasantly surprised with the Magic Band, it was an excelleent performance and as you will hear Drumbo say "this is only our 5th
time playing together and this is definitely the best so far..." I'll let you judge for yourself, hear the sample for the sound quality.
Haven't seen any other uploads of this show and I haven't previously circulated this, it may be a first?
A friend did the track list for me but I'm missing 3 titles, so any help would be most appreciated.
Enjoy!

Thanks for this,the only other (modern)Magic Band gig I've come across is the Peel Session 7-7-04.
I just listen to this bootleg and I am really fascinated about the music.It`s so hard to find any Captain or Magic Band with John French recordings.I already got the 'Back to the Front'and I`m very glad to find this next one.Thanks a lot and 'Keep on rocking'.Not to forget the master and creator of them all:God bless Don Van Vliet!

Thanx for this. It is a great venture out to recapture the Captain's lost ship. However, it falls somewhere off the map.
Thank you for sharing.
Disc 2, Track 4: "You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond" is a line sung in 'Tarotplane' off the 'Mirror Man' LP, that Don borrowed from Blind Willie Johnson.
This a great band I had never heard them so since this moment I'll be the fan number one because they have a perfect style.m10m
Thanks a bunch! Beefheart was a genius. Can't get too much Beefheart.
Did anyone else notice that the tow parts are exactly the same?
Hal, could you post both parts of this to rapidshare? The sharebee links appear to be dead and the last comment said the same part was originally posted twice instead of a part 2. Thanks!!!
Looks like all the download sites are either dead or file no longer available. New location anyone?
