The Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band Appreciation Society

Allyson Baker from the San Francisco rock band Dirty Ghosts has very kindly written something for this page about last Friday's event at the Chapel in San Francisco, celebrating Captain Beefheart's debut album Safe As Milk. Allyson was the musical director of the show and also one of the musicians playing on stage on the night. To watch the full show click on the link at the bottom of this post.

Here is Allyson's report on the show:

The project kind of got started, when I played guitar on two Beefheart songs live with Robyn Hitchcock and my husband, who drums for Robyn, early in 2025 in San Francisco. We had a lot of fun playing those tunes (Electricity and Zig Zag Wanderer) and talked about the possibility of doing more. Coincidentally at the end of the night Britt Govea, the head of Folkyeah! Presents, the promoter of the show told me of an idea that had been floating around his head of having all of Safe as Milk performed live with Robyn and other guest singers. Britt asked if I would musical direct to which I eagerly replied YES!

The next day Britt and I got to planning - I was given free reign to choose a band and make a setlist - Safe As Milk and second set of later material. I called all of the Beefheart diehard musicians and people who I imagined would be perfect for the show and assembled a great core band: Joe Gore on 2nd guitar, Warren Huegel on drums, Pete Straus on bass, Jamin Barton on theremin/harp/sax, Marc Capelle on trumpet and Meryl Theo Press and Lydia Walker on backup vocals. The band and I worked hard to get as close to sounding like the real thing as we could get.

We got an amazing cast of singers on board alongside Robyn: Shannon Shaw, Chuck Prophet, Kelley Stoltz, Blag Dahlia, Lydia Walker, Nick Waterhouse and Cyril Jordan of the Flamin Groovies who jumped on stage with his guitar for Diddy Wah Diddy.

It was an incredible night and I’m so thankful to everyone who came and those who were involved. There was so much love for Captain Beefheart in the room that night it was palpable. Wanted to share this with the other Beefheart fans out there who had heard about the show but proximity may have been an issue! You can find me on instagram @dirtyghosts and as more video/pix/audio surface I will post as it comes.

 We (fans) here missed out on Chuck at the Bullingdon (no, NO, not the club, the rocking local PUB!) but did we know this . . . he had been there before!? 

For the Sealyman and Diamond Dave in particular! We should have gone boys we really should have gone . . . says he who rarely leaves the house these days, grumpy ole curmudgeon that I am! 😎😉

⁠

For twelve long days, Chuck Prophet waited. A stage four lymphoma diagnosis had knocked the wind out of him, dragged him off the road and into surgery, and now here he was, a perpetual motion machine forced to sit still, confronting his mortality for the first time as he wondered if he’d live long enough to see the end of the year, let alone get back on tour.⁠

⁠

“I was going through a tunnel,” he recalls. “It was dark. But I had music: music to play, music to listen to, music to get me out of my head. Music was my saviour.”⁠

⁠

That much is plain to hear on Wake The Dead, Prophet’s extraordinary—and unlikely—new album. Recorded with ¿Qiensave?, a band of brothers from the Central Coast farming community of Salinas, California, the collection dives headfirst into the world of Cumbia music, which consumed and comforted Prophet during his illness and subsequent recovery...⁠

⁠

Chuck will be touring the UK with members of his own band and @qiensave, playing his classics along with tracks from the new album.⁠

Chuck Prophet - "Get Off The Stage” 

#DonaldTrump #ChuckProphet #GetOffTheStage

From the album, The Land That Time Forgot.  

Why whatever can he be singing about!

Order now: 

https://ffm.to/landtimeforgot

Me, I’m just one man

Up on the stage I make my stand

Yes, it’s true I have a band

Up here behind me  

While you, you’ve got your crew

and the Secret Service too

and your wife from the EU

But you’re no good at rhyming

So hey, get down off that stage

We’ve heard everything you’ve got to say

You’ve been calling all the shots

You’ve got us all tied up in knots

C'mon man, get off the stage

Now me, I spend half of my life

In an Econoline van

With my band and my wife      

And when she steps up to the mic

I’ve seen grown men burst out crying

While you, you’ve got an ugly mouth

You got no heart at all, except for your Russian pal

You’re an obstruction in democracy’s bowel  

And the patient is dying  

So come down off that stage

Please get off the stage

Come on down and take a seat

We’ll put some John Prine on repeat

All we’re asking is get off the stage

if you were an automobile

You’d be out of gas

With four flat tires

And a smog check that’s never gonna pass

If you were a pair of socks

You’d be full of holes

You’re one bad hombre

So why don’t you just turn around

And go home

And maybe do something with that hair

Take a walk in the park

Visit a renaissance fair

You’re headed for prison, you know

But don’t be scared

The first time is the hardest

Just get down off that stage

We’ve heard everything you’ve got to say

Take a book down off the shelf

Try to love somebody else

Whatever you do, just get off the stage
