The Magic Band

Holy fuck, that was incredible. The Magic Band still has three original members as well as two younger musicians who joined in and did a great job. Man they nailed every track to a tee. They opened with "My Human Gets Me Blues" and moved all through Captain Beefheart's discography. You would think that it wouldn't be as good without the Beef but they did so well, it was fantastic. I'll have to say that the Youtube videos that I watched didn't really do them the justice that seeing them live does. They came out for the first encore as the whole band and did "Electricity," then as the crowd clapped for more, John French came out alone and did "Orange Claw Hammer". Definitely the best show I've ever attended.
