Simply fascinating!
Wonderful. Thanks, Gregg. I hope someday you can get Rockette Morton too.
I just got into his band Mallard (right after Beefheart)..... It sounds like a mixture of Beefheart and Little Feat. LOVE IT
Jeff wasn't involved with the Mallard project. He left Beefheart in '70.
Mallard comes along in 1974 after the Magic Band left Van Vliet following the 'Unconditionally Guaranteed' album.
@@rupertcocking597 thank you. Didn't realize
This the bee's knees. Awesome interview :)
PG Blakely was best friend for a period of time and it sure is good hearing his name again. He taught me to play drums and we had a blast together. Thank you Jeff.
Genius
Man ma mia
Excellent interview. Thanks for giving Jeff the time to share his memories.
Captivating inside stuff.
A wonderful hour and half of pure enjoyment. Thank you so much for this interview
AJS..... I bow as I back out of the room listening. Respect blows forwatd and respect blows back. Thank you!
great conversation could listen to more. hope that mini reunion happens
Great chat. Much appreciated Greg. I would have liked to have heard Jeff's views on the Maui fire. where can i find this video of him talking about the fires - he mentions at 1:00:22
Respect, lads! :)
1:02:04 Whaaaaaaaaaaa??????!!!!!
1:17:39 Woah, I didn't know Don actually met Manson??!?
At about 51 minutes he talks about the Avalon Ballroom recordings - has it ever been confirmed which line-up this was? Because I've seen it mentioned that it was 1966, so therefore pre-Jeff Cotton, but Jeff here is implying that it's 1967 and he's playing on it. Anybody know what the truth of the situation might be?
Great interview, thanks!

1:22:03 -- Would have liked you to let Jeff expound a bit about the Maui fires. Disappointed that you seemed to have backed off. Jeff was there, his viewpoint is important. Other than that, great to hear him speak. Thanks for having him on the podcast.
