John Vetebey:
The Town Hall is crowded while Rockette Morton, rhythm guitarist with the head of a musketeer, walks about the stage, the Captain unfolds his bat cape ("that so much gifted animal"), Zoot Horn Rollo - the guitar player - balances in his interrogations, Art Tripp beats like a galley's kettle-drummer. And Roy Estrada stays as cool as all good bassists do. The music displays itself in its surprising twists and ruptures in the scansion - chaos organizing itself, simplifying and getting closer to the blues, and fascinates more and more, which worries the Captain a little - "they are taking me serious..." - but doesn't displease him.
Gary Lucas:
The next year, he came back with a scaled-down band when they had that record The Spotlight Kid out. They had really toned down the Psychedelia. They were doing guitar solos -- it was more conventional Blues Rock -- but I still loved it. That's when I interviewed him. I phoned him and my voice was trembling. I was quite intimidated by him and then he came the following week for the concert and he was very affable and we hit it off.
James Diesel:
Look at 1972 ...... Beefheart with a Blues/Punk Band ..... yes ... PUNK ..... just listen to New York City, Town Hall, 10/28/72.
Roger Dowd:
I saw the band in Staten Island just before the release of Clear Spot. Rockette Morton's solo intro was ferocious. He played, I don't know how long, before the Captain walked on stage very non-chalantly, screwed his horn together, and ripped into a howling rendition of Hair Pie. It was a great night.

Raymond D. Ricker:
This was the first tour I saw the Magic Band (Town Hall - NYC) and I was in absolute awe - IMO this was not one of Don's better tours - the band was just transitioning to a more blues oriented music and the rustiness showed, in addition, Ingber was forever messing up the more complex Trout Mask Replica material, when it was performed.
