this broadcast in a series of summer specials by the well known dutch supplement program in which their editors could 'do their favourite things' was announced (in plain dutch) as: '16 augustus, Radio 4, 20.00 uur. Captain Beefheart - Paradiso - Nov 1 1980. Integral! No edits. Remastered in de NPS zaproom!'. the other half of it was a similar treatment to a frank zappa concert, but that's just for the note. the program was so extraordinary, i made this special page for a thorough review. unfortunately the automatic pilot to handle the INTERNET switch had fallen asleep at the start of the program, just to wake up halfway....

LIVE REPORT of the INTERNET (NON)HAPPENING
16.08.99 00.00 hour local dutch time: don't forget: today it is 16 AUGUST 1999!16.08.99 18.00 hour LATEST NEWS! everything seems to be in perfect order to make the internet broadcast a success. the necessary frames you have to click all are there, and - beit a bit late - a PLAYLIST of the things to occur now is available too (although any english translation fails)! there are still two hours to go - but i'm getting REALLY nervous, i think... [at the moment, the real audio player only sends out the station identification tune, so don't panic if your connection does seem to fall out after that!]
16.08.99 20.30 hour i can ensure you: the concert is MARVELLOUS, and beefheart is in great form from the start. the sound quality is unbelievable, but... that's only on my radio! THE INTERNET SHOW DOESN'T WORK! while last week everything was as should be... if you have similar problems, e-mail those guys immediately, of course!
16.08.99 23.00 hour yeah, nów - while that fucking zappa, co de kloet's favourite, is playing - i've got sound from the internet! but i wonder, why not during my dear captain? i have no idea what the damage to you is - or not. it's a pity if someone missed this good concert with its unbelievable sound - but don't worry: at least, the tápes from the normal radio show are tip-top... more news to clear this (had zappa's spirit sabotaged a switch?) soon!

[20.08.99 addition:] it's completely uninteresting, but this is what i thought a few minutes after the start of the broadcast:
the web! the web! co! the web!
this ain't gonna make the dutch supplement radio show fat!
the crazy sounds! the crazy sounds! they're gone! they're gone!
co! co! the web! the web!but... co couldn't go back to the control room: the captain had left the studio for a holiday....
