Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, live at My Father's Place, Roslyn on November 18th, 1978. After a period of relative inactivity, in 1978 Captain Beefheart reemerged with a new Magic Band and a superb album, Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) (1978). To promote it, they undertook a club tour of the US, to the delight of his devoted fans. The wonderfully energetic show, featured here, was performed in a 200-seat supper club in Long Island on November 18th, 1978 and broadcast on WLIR-FM, and finds the band tackling material from the breadth of his career to date. The entire WLIR-FM broadcast is presented here with background notes and images.
