----------

Stan Ivester: My own experience of that 1975 band was very different, largely due to the venue -- the Universal Amphitheater in Chicago. God knows how big the thing is -- it's where the 1968 Democratic Convention was held -- but Frank has been quoted as saying that the echo is one of the longest in the world. The night I remember began with the same spooky opening, with Beefheart's horn sort of summoning the rest of the band onstage, like Bela Lugosi's Igor summoning the Karloff monster in Son of Frankenstein. (Given his love of monster movies, that's not too unlikely an association for Frank.) I sure wish there had been compact camcorders in those days.
I had seen the Mothers live in 1970 (Atlanta Pop Festival), 1971 (Fillmore East), 1973 (Tampa), and 1974 (Tampa again, with Tom Waits opening), so -- given the tremendous variety in those touring ensembles -- I had no idea what to expect.
Frank and Napoleon seemed to appreciate the echo and even played off the slap-back effect in their solos. Plus the Chicago crowd enjoyed the blues orientation, as I did, being a big fan of Chicago blues. Beefheart was fumbling with the doodads from the bag at this show as well.
One of the encores was truly amazing -- Andy, featuring Napoleon's vocal. The echo effect seemed especially appropriate. It seemed to hit right 'on the beat' with the music, and Frank's solo was inspired.
