A vivacious track near the end of the concert, this version of “Camarillo Brillo,” a song dating back to 1973’s Over-Nite Sensation, ends abruptly, quickly turning into the next track, “Muffin Man (Live).” This is an accurate rendition of the concert goings-on, as both “Camarillo Brillo (Live)” and...
One, two, three, four!
She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red
She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(Actually I was very busy then)
And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from a tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She stripped away
Her rancid poncho
An' laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An' it was useless any more
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(Is that a real poncho or is that an English poncho?)
And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way, that's right
An' oh God I would love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
I chewed my way through her rancid panocha
She laid buck-naked by the door
An' we did it till we were un-concho obviously
An' it was useless anymore
Well it was useless anymore
Yes it was useless anymore
