Another unexpected treat for Philly music fans came a week ago today; Dr. Dog drummer Eric Slick – who is playing the first of The Key’s Tuesday Tune-Out shows at PhilaMOCA on January 8th – shared this live recording of the boys jamming on “Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles” from Captain Beefheart‘s 1972 LP Clear Spot, with former touring Magic Band member Denny Walley on guitar. Slick posted:

I don’t know, it sounds pretty rad to my ears. Give a listen below. The song was recorded live at The Masquerade in Atlanta on November 16, 2012.
