Classic / Video Captain Beefheart: "Upon the My Oh My"

Posted by on Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 11:59 AM

In continuing the search for footage of various classics on YouTube, I found this here gem of Captain Beefheart performing "Upon the My Oh My" on the Old Grey Whistle Test. It also features a quality Aldous Huxley/vacuum cleaner sales anecdote. According to other parts of the internet, Virgin originally released "Upon the My Oh My" on a 1975 dsampler, V, although it was supposed to be part of a live album that was never released. An obscure Portuguese label Movie Play Gold eventually released 9 tracks from the session under the title London 1974.

Don Van Vliet is so cute when he's trying (and failing) to "sell out."

Thanks for this.
