The PA entry on Lick My Decals Off Baby by Captain Beefheart shows a band line-up that is horribly, horribly wrong:

- Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) / vocals, guitar, harmonica, bass clarinet, Soprano/Tenor saxophone, drums, percussion
- Drumbo (aka John French) / bass
- Jerry Handley / guitar
- Douglas Moon / bass
- Rockette Morton (aka Mark Boston) / guitar
- Antennae Jimmy Semens (aka Jeff Cotton) / guitar
- The Mascara Snake (aka Victor Hayden) / guitar
- Art Tripp (aka Ed Marimba) / clarinet
- Zoot Horn Rollo (aka Bill Harkleroad) / percussion, marimba

The actual lineup was (this is from Wikipedia, but other sources confirm):

Captain Beefheart ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Van_Vliet - Don Van Vliet ) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocals - vocals , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonica - harmonica , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxophone - saxophone
Zoot Horn Rollo ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Harkleroad - Bill Harkleroad ) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar - guitar , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_guitar - slide guitar
Rockette Morton ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Boston - Mark Boston ) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar - bass guitar
Drumbo ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_French_%28musician%29 - John French ) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drums - drums , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percussion_instrument - percussion
Ed Marimba ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Tripp - Art Tripp ) - drums, percussion, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marimba - marimba

Not only does the PA entry feature way too many musicians, it shows the musicians playing what are CLEARLY the wrong instruments, as any Beefheart fan knows.
