O Yes! It's another Night Of The Living Van Vliet!
Here we are in 1982, in the Captains natural desert habitat in the Mojave outside of Lancaster, CA. This video, Ice Cream For Crow is now a part of the Permanent Film and Video Collection of the NYC Museum of Modern Art. It was directed by Don Van Vliet, who of course sings and plays harmonica. The guitarists are Gary Lucas and Jeff Tepper, The Bassist is Rick Snyder and the Drummer is Cliff Martinez. It was rejected by MTV as being too weird. The paintings are Van Vliet originals.
Please check out Mikeb302000 and zencomix who are also posting as part of the Night of The Living Van Vliet Fest! Mike has a great post with a pretty interesting piece linking the punk band The Minutemen with Captain Beefheart and zencomix has Mitt Romney performing a Mormon Baptism on The Captain....
