Search - Frank Zappa :: Freaks & Mothers

THIS IS A REMASTERED BOOTLEG!!

"This album was originally a bootleg release. Frank bought a vinyl copy and remastered it, then sold it as part of his "beat the boots" series in 1991. The plan was to legitimately release some material that he otherwise wasn't getting any royalties for. So don't blame him for the poor sound quality, as he had nothing to do with that aspect.If you're interested in other live Zappa albums of this genre, I recommend "Tis the Season to be Jelly." This is a very old Mothers concert in Sweden (1967) that contains some very unique material unlike anything else in the Zappa catalog."

Dr John routine

"This live cd makes a nice companion to "Fillmore East". It's the same line-up (Flo and Eddie), the humor's there and it rocks. The sound isn't the best (It was originally an audience recorded bootleg) but the music and humor win you over. My favorite part is the "Dr John routine"...Zappa's impression of Dr John doing "Wino Man'."

Bad sound quality but good music

"pITY ABOUT THE LOW SOUND QUALITY BECAUSE there's lots of choice music here, from 1970. We have the holiday in berlin lyrics about the student riot, that's class. Frank has some great soloing here, call any vegetable also sleeping in a jar. It's well worth hearing despite crummy sound"
