THE JAR IS UNDER THE BED!



There we have it, 1968 in Paris, layers of grungy distortion, a very bad video, but a great documentary of a legendary ensemble!
This piece is Sleeping In A Jar which was released on the Uncle Meat Double Album. The soundtrack for the movie that was made but never finished. There are snippets of Uncle Meat footage lurking here on YouTube.
I also believe that the performance segues inot an adaptation of Octavia by Edgar Varese. This is the stuff I have been looking for, real footage of the Mothers before 1969. There must be stuff hiding out there, lurking in closets. Get out and find it fast before the video tape disintegrates!
Now I will surrender to my virus who I have named Bennie.
