Despite having a plethora of megastars on it, my fav performance has to be Captain Beefheart with Upon the My O My. Simply because he was so off the wall, or thats how he came across anyway.
Spent his latter days painting pictures (in the desert of Arizona I believe) and making a few quid too for his expressionist paintings which are quite sort after.
Sadly died in 2010 after suffering a long battle with MS. lasted longer than most rockers of the 60's & 70's though.

The Captain was THE MAN. Went to his art exhibition in London in 1986 and met him and his wife, Jan, at the gallery. Got talking to him and was invited by him and his wife to have lunch nearby. One of the BEST days of my life......
