Don Van Vliet by Anton Corbijn
oops nearly forgot we should celebrate Don’s birthday with some music for Pete’s sake ( who IS Pete and why is he drinking sake?) Big Eyed Beans From Venus . . . . ya get me?
Captain Beefheart - Big Eyed Beans From Venus (Recut/Synced)
wirewehear says: Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, footage from The Rainbow Theatre 17th April 1973. This was broadcast by the Old Grey Whistle Test with
audio from the 'Clear Spot' LP & a right botch job they made of it too. Firstly some creative genius thought it would be a good idea to add all those fairground-from-hell light effects all over the invaluable footage. That was bad enough, but then there was no effort at all made to sync the film to the audio, so I've rectified the latter at least. I also upgraded the audio.
Incidentally I don't think the band are even playing 'BEBFV' in this clip. In the original cut you can briefly see Don playing mouth organ at one point, an instrument which doesn't feature in the song. Therefore it stands to reason that it's not exactly synced, but re-edited & cut to fit the images, as best as I could manage. Smoke & mirrors me dears.
