ZAPPA IN NEW YORK

Without a question, ZAPPA is an acquired taste and Live In New York captures ZAPPA's live theatrical, hysterical antics and extreme guitar talents of this entertaining rock legend. Originally released on double vinyl, Ryko's double CD finally contains the missing 5 tracks to complete the concert. This classic ZAPPA concert was recorded over a 3 night sold out event playing to over 27,000 fans. ZAPPA is assisted by Eddie Jobson (keyboards , violin), Patrick O'Hearns (bass) , Tony Bozzio (drums) SNL's Don Pardo (narrator) and a host of other fine musicians and their instruments (sax, trumpet, clarinet, trombone .) As you would expect this zany 2 cd set covers some pretty arcane songs with some simply scrumptious musicianship. including lots of great ZAPPA guitar.
