joe strummer says this was the best concert he ever went to as a member of the audience. fantastic set from the captain with full biographical cd booklet of the show. there are a few references to the spotlight kid throughout the show, a reference to the spotlight being played on the band from the lighting tower in the audience. at the beginning of the tape after rockette morton's bass solo, there is some weird wordplay on the mascara snake. firstly rockette, remarks "the mascara snake" and then during a pause in the solo beefheart says "and this is the mascara fake" rockette then plays his ass off some more, pauses and then he says "and this is the mascara for gods sake". the solo finally finishes and then don says "and this is the mascara ...." to much laughter from band and crowd alike. "why don't you turn off the monitors, we'll do this next composition without the monitors. ??? we don't need the monitors to play. doh?, oh it's not the monitor. now everybody's going to know we're human beings. no, i'm just kidding, i'm kidding, i'm kidding." he then mutters something indiscernible and the band laugh. "if i had an electric light on right now, i wouldn't take it out for nothing." "sorry." "all right, here we go, ah. zoot horn rollo on guitar. a composition, a composition peon from the album lick my decals off baby. rockette morton on bass this time. thank you, thank you for waiting". the band : captain beefheart/don van vliet: vocals, sax, harmonica, rockette morton/mark boston: bass guitar, guitar. orjon-audi hon/roy estrada: bass guitar. zoot horn rollo/bill harkleroad: guitar, slide guitar. winged eel fingerling/elliot ingber: guitar, slide guitar. ed marimba/art tripp: drums, percussion.
