Rising Sons

Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band weren't the only blues band playing there.

Another band on the bill was The Rising Suns, playing what some members have described as their first ever gig.

Remember the feeling as a child when you woke up and morning smiled.

It's time you felt like you did then.

And take a chance, step outside your mind.

The Magic Band were the big hit of the event, which had multiple bands playing multiple stages.

But the man who was by now starting to become known as Captain Beefheart dragged Doug Moon to see The Rising Suns and pointed to their guitarist, a 17-year-old named Ry Cooder, and told Moon through gritted teeth that that was the type of playing he'd been telling Moon to do for ages.

"Now do you get it?" The Rising Suns were never very successful, but their members all went on to greater things.
