The Artist Formerly Known as Captain Beefheart

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Don Van Vliet is regarded by many as one of the most original musicians to emerge from the rock era of the sixties and seventies. Now a highly-regarded landscape painter, he is a virtual recluse in his California home. John Peel examines the career of the man who performed as Captain Beefheart, and whose work continues to influence the likes of Tom Waits, PJ Harvey and Beck.
