Robyn Hitchcock and The Imaginary Band, Spiegeltent, Bath, UK - Sunday 5th June 2011

Audience recording:
H4NZoom>Wavelab>Flac

To celebrate Captain Beefheart and his life on Earth, Robyn Hitchcock and the Imaginary Band perform the album ‘Clear Spot’ and a few other Beefheart compositions
“In the early Soft Boys we tried to cross Abbey Road with Trout Mask Replica”, says Robyn: “It didn’t always work but it was some hybrid. The most exciting show I’ve ever seen was Beefheart and The Magic Band in 1973. This won’t be as accurate as the John French/Magic Band gigs a few years back, but Clear Spot is quite a party album, and we’re planning to have quite a party”.
The Imaginary Band are Paul Noble and Terry Edwards on guitars and bass, Jenny Adejayan on cello, and Stephen Irvine on drums.
