The Magic Band 2011- A few photos – Drumbo, Denny and Rockette (and me).

Taken at La Scala in London and Leeds.

That’s me with John! Ecstatic. After all those years to see those guys performing again. Fabulous concerts.

Even without the Captain this band are superb. Rockette Morton on brilliant bass, Denny Walley and Elliott Ingber on guitar and John French on Drums and vocals. Unbelievably good.

The music is spot on; the musicianship outstanding, sound brilliant and music superlative. I’ve not heard better!!!

I’ve been raving about Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band since 1967. Here they are albeit without the Captain. I never believed anybody could take his place but Drumbo (John French) is amazing.

This may be their last tour. Don’t miss it!!  Here’s where they are:

4th Nov – Nottingham – Rescue Rooms

5th Nov – Manchester – Band on the Wall

7th Nov – Preston – Continental

8th Nov – Liverpool – Kazimier

10th Nov – Sheffield – Greystones

11th Nov – Leeds – Brudenell Social Club

16th Nov – Wolverhampton – Robin 2

17th Nov – Bristol – The Fleece

20th Nov – London – Under the Bridge

21st Nov – Aldershot – West End Centre

I’ll be hitting at least two if not four. Sheffield & Leeds are definites. I’m toying with Liverpool and London. We’ll see!!

Be there or be square.

 

It’s worth a trip from Perth!!

Get in with a flight from Berlin!!

Be in the know with a flight from Rio!!

Hear them play with a trip from L.A.!!
