"There were eight bands and we were second on the bill, the Mothers were headlining. I’ll never forget Art Tripp with his green moustache and a pair of woman’s underwear on his head with his ponytails poking out of the leg holes. The Mothers were almost aggressively hilarious. Most of the guys in that band seemed to be having fun and looked like they were in control, but in an outrageous sense. Of course, Frank was definitely the most controlled of all of them. It was a big gig, but not a big crowd. I think there might have been a thousand people there. We were playing the Trout Mask tunes so it was out there." - Lunar Notes – Zoot Horn Rollo’s Captain Beefheart Experience by Bill Harkleroad with Billy James
