This was a sold out show with a terrific atmosphere and plenty of audience participation and it’s great to hear
the Magic Band audience sing the last verse of Orange Claw Hammer as if in tribute to a great performance
by the Magic Band evidently eager to return to active duty.The last time I heard Orange Claw Hammer live was
at the Colston Hall Bristol in 1975. My friends and I in the second row were trying to join in when
Captain Beefheart noticed us and paused right at ‘n above it read a sign ‘Painless Parker’- looking over at us
to see if we’d get the next line which we fluffed of course, and he went ‘Lic-lic-lic-lic licorice twisted around …
like that with a few extra lics in…. I’ll never forget that scary-comic moment.


Hope you like this one.
