Gary Lucas is bringing his Beefheart Symposium to Los Angeles two days before Don’s 70th birthday.
During the symposium Gary will show rare footage of the band live, play unreleased tracks, and project slides of Don’s paintings and drawings, discuss the history of the group and many of the great musicians who came through the ranks of The Magic Band, and also illustrate Don’s quirky and idiosyncratic methodologies and techniques on his guitar.
So at 8pm, 13 January 2011 try to join Gary and ‘special guests’ at
The Echoplex
1154 Glendale Boulevard
Los Angeles 90026
Tickets: Seating – $15 adv; $17 dos / Standing – $12 adv; $14 dos / all ages
just read on a list that Don has died today. RIP
I'm a jazz pianist, and Don influenced my music in many ways… even more so, he influenced the way I see the world and have chosen to live in it…RIP Captain…and much love for the new journey!
A very sad day. Don was an inspiration and will be sorely missed. I just hope he gets the recognition he deserved when alive. Goodbye Don and thanks.
