This is one of my favorite Captain Beefheart's bootlegs.

As the Captain said: "If you got ears, you gotta listen".

Captain Beefheart - Hoboism

This is a real MUST for every Captain Beefheart fan.
Contains astonishing blues and psychedelic tunes.
Click on the images for seeing (and saving) them in real size.

When I see mommy I feel like a mummy.



Notes from beefheart.com:

This is the excellent quality FM broadcast Cowtown show that was also booted as 'Crazy Little Things'. However it does also include a version of 'Sam with the showing scalp...' from a May 1975 Bongo Fury tour show and a great 'Grow Fins' from an unknown venue in 1977. Both 'Sam' and 'Fins' sound as if they were dubbed from vinyl - 'Sam' could well be from the Los Botas Graciosas Marchan Polonia boot.
