Fantastic! That year my dad worked at the festival and took me along, and when Joe Cocker left the stage, Beefheart went up to play, and we were there to witness how they greeted like old friends. And Joe Cocker shook my hand (I was 11 years old then), never washed it anymore. Ahhhhh, sentimental old journey :-) Pinkpop at that time was fantastic. When it left Geleen, it became rubbish!
Wish I had a time machine. If I did I'd go back to my 4 yr old self and have him say "Mummy, daddy. For my Birthday treat this summer can we go to Pinkpop festival and get down to the Dada-ist Blues stylings of the great Captain Beefheart? I promise to be really really really good for ever and ever." Love the super 8 look and great energy of this version.
What a great band. This same lineup with the Captain has several videos here on yt, grey whistle test etc. The lead player with the LP deluxe plays some sweet guitar or can get weird as needed.
Ive been a musician most of my life and I'll listen to anything....for a while. I confess that Ive never understood anybody's fascination with Beefheart or his music. I don't get it. Even Ry Cooder couldn't tolerate him very long and he quit his band. I suspect that if not for Zappa, nobody would have ever heard of the good Captain Beefheart. Those of you who dig his stuff...rock on!
Morrison put his ass out there and on the line in many ways and at a very dangerous time that's hard to understand today!Jim and the Doors are one of the greatest bands ever,the Captain is also a true rock artist who lived and performed on the edge and never received the critical acclaim he deserved,no need at all to pit them against each other!!I do not get all of the grief leveled at the Doors,almost all their albums had many great songs where most other albums have only one or two?
@altohippiegabber Nee ik ben van Weert, maar ik was een vaste Pinkpopbezoeker tot pakweg 1980. Dit was tijdens de "commerciële" periode van de Captain, niet op zijn best, maar toch blij dat ik hem tenminste één keer live heb mogen zien.
Saw him at Notts Uni on a Hot sticky night he was BRILLIANT + Majik band His best quote of the night "Ive got too many fans, and not enough fans!!" Just far out man...
Beefheart clicked with me when I was 14; I didn't get the Doors until 4 years ago, I think it was Not To Touch the Earth, and My Wild Love...they send shivers down my spine just like the Good Captain (and also like the Captain, even a bad Doors album is way better than most other good albums) My 2 cents!
you're opposite of me. loved the Doors from early on. only heard of The Capt but didn't get into to him until after his death. read a great post humous article of his greatness hence had to go discover him soooo glad i found him. better late than never. a true genius.
concur. Neither the complexity nor the wobble of the original. Still better than most everything else though. What a band that was. 1967 -1973 impeccable.

Thank you for sharing. Clip is very well made. At least, I love it. Got the atmosphere of the day. ... And for the pathetic comments (below) ... If you got ears, you need to listen even better.
@Lorddoucheington Ido not think you can get this from anywhere excepting here on Utube .And I AGREE THIS IS A SUPERB PERFORMANCE .Its a crying shame because I feel uplifted when I hear this. RUSTY.
Don was truly a Captain of his own beautiful ship.
great description
I was there, folks! Stoned like a million potatoes... I had a complete brain meltdown during this concert 😆! Golden years! Magick Band!🤩
Man , I can see that it's THE TRAGIC Band !
О друже, я уявляю наскільки це було круто

I was at this Pink Pop festival in 1974. Unforgettable.

first heard captain 51 years ago changed my life turn lights off lay down and listen no one else like him just brilliant ian pert 2021
Not often said but .... a magnificant harp player!
Very true
Who cares if it's not in synch ? Most people wouldn't know. But , the footage is amazing !
man ....i love to have been there to see the great beefheart and his magic band.. awesome
Most inventive group of guys led by the captain , never be another band like them
What a great band. This same lineup with the Captain has several videos here on yt, grey whistle test etc. The lead player with the LP deluxe plays some sweet guitar or can get weird as needed.
That was the time when people were kind.
Now the control freak head aliens have taken over.
@@HamptonGuitars This is true. That guy was Dean Smith. A great guitar player, and a really nice guy. Peace.
@@michaellakey3565 So true. I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing. Such a shame. Peace.
Every "terrible" decision Don made produced gold in the fullness of time. This is one. "Peaches '74" is another.
What a Band!!!!
He was quite a force and an innovative artist. What's even more amazing is that the Mirror Man original recordings dated back to 1967!
RIP Good Captain. Devastated. Tonight the clouds are full of wine (not whiskey or rye). Take care.
Saw the Captain several times. Superb.

Captain Beefheart put in the miles. I saw him twice. Never saw Zappa. He wouldn't come out. Captain did. 😄
Good times. Wish I could experience it myself.
Tremendos , 🎸🔥🙏....Captain❤....desde Argentina 🇦🇷✌️
CB are the best.The funky blues I love it.
The good old days
Good song with the right ritme . ❤
I first heard this in the John Peel radio show in the UK a billion years ago.
Thanks for all the Magic, Beefie, will always keep it close...party hardy time in whatever universe you're traversing
Always love listening to the genius of this guy, an absolute diamond he was like a one off of piece of priceless jewelry, a law unto himself. 🎶✌️🎤

Don was the Captain of a Magical Ship.
I'm in the front row somewhere :)

Subscribed, because of this contribution of yours. Thank you.
I hadn’t heard this before. Absolutely wonderful thanks ❤
I never heard this before. This is why I woke up today, thanks.
His London 1974 live album was a good one. It started out with this song.
Great song!!!
*****

Bravo, 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Das beste.
Awesome !!!
some little kiddies parents played this when they were young. they hated and joked about it, but now they love it.
'70s ROCKS !!!!!
A stellar edit!
Thank you for the great file! Interesting!
Hell yeah
Anything he touched became art.love the guy..
Great performance
Géant!
hey, that's really great. cool hippie atmosphere back in these days...
What a legend
Astounding!!!!!!
When garage rock became profound. The harp parts are sick. Invention in its purest form.
DaDa from the Delta
great stuff!
i should have been there.
rest in peace, Don ...
Ahoy, beefheads! Onward and upwards ye maties of the mighty sea! The captain is here and there and everywhere! Ya'll onboard?
On board since "Trout mask replica" came out, cheers bro'!
xtreme breathing then and today
There's one in every crowd!
Great vid!
concur. Neither the complexity nor the wobble of the original.
Still better than most everything else though.
What a band that was. 1967 -1973 impeccable.
Music is not synched because this is the version of Mirror Man recorded in London and released n the Virgin label!
I like the green train.
Discovered the Captain through Frank Zappa. Another one of a kind.

BeingPollock - Hey, consider the technology they had to work with. Not bad, ...all things considered. (peace pollock)
Beefheart appears at 2:30
great clip good to see The Captain back in the day even though it is 1974 not Don's best year musically
Yes, he was beyond great. But this was when they tried to commercialize him.
hey garland, I dig your tweet coat...
goodbye captain....
👍
I 'm S o Jealous of u . Mindblowing
That's a fairly to the point description.
No Magic here. This is just a few months after Zoot Horn and the boys parted ways with the Captain.
next stop Mallard!
Band appears live at 3:18
~~ A Sound Branch of The M uzi K Tree
this recording is from an album called "london 1974" isn't it?
Hoe lachwekkend is het om te bedenken dat afgelopen jaar Bieber.....mijn god wat is er aan de hand in de wereld??
@MartijnHover ben je ook van Geleen? zo vet om the Captain in mijn woonplaats te zien lopen!! ik wou dat ik er bij had kunnen zijn
Toen pinkpop nog wat betekende.
Awesome vid, never heard this recording before, thanks for posting! But... How high is that stage?????!
Nothing at all wrong with this version. 4:54 fast metal muted guitar string scratching.
Anyone got a tardis
if u new the words of captain on safe as milk u would now that he dont like to be called weirdo. he says i`m maybe hungry but i sure ain`t weird .
mazzelpik :O
El Capitain - a tru DaDa ist
@Lorddoucheington Ido not think you can get this from anywhere excepting here on Utube .And I AGREE THIS IS A SUPERB PERFORMANCE .Its a crying shame because I feel uplifted when I hear this. RUSTY.
74 isn´t tragic comparesed by now
The magic band didnt feature a saxophone or keyboards . Who were these guys ?
