Comment
a.k.a. "Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart: An Evening With..."
In order to promote the only album they ever made together - the live recording BONGO FURY - Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa put together an amazing promotional documentary on the musical lives and times of both of them. Frank went through all the reel-to-reels he ever recorded - and they contained a lot of stunning discoveries. Most of the obscure material dated from the time before and when Beefheart was just part of 'the mothers of invention', but - ranging from their collaboration in the 1963/4 band 'the soots' to some live acts on the spot - there was blasting stuff for the beefheart fan-tribe too...
This instant 'talkshow' was broadcasted by several radio stations in the states, like kwst fm radio on 1 October (the day before the official release of their album). Of course this unique promo - which also was aired by the Australian radio station 'jjj' a bit later - was leaked, so no wonder a bunch of those 'debuting tunes' have been (and will be) brought out on bootlegs. Some of the songs later even gained an official status - like 'metal man has won his wings' - but a few very interesting works by / with the captain have never been released elsewhere.
