I am writing this review in defense of this "album" and the Beat The Boots series in general... Quibbling about the sound quality of
these performances shows a woeful lack of appreciation for what these releases DO represent... FZ decided upon these bootlegs
(presumably due to volume of circulation and quality of performance or a combination of both). For whatever reason these were
relased, they largely represent very nice snapshots of Frank and/or the Mother's incarnations at that moment in time. As a vinyl
collector, the fact that these "boots" are available to me in wax is awesome... This "release" in particular is a lot of fun. I like many of
these tracks and while this lineup isnt represenatative of the halcyon Duke/Ponty/Underwood et al variety... It is VERY compelling
and interesting. I just spun this release on vinyl with decent cans and a headphone amp and thought that the 2.05 overall rating for
this "album" and many others in the beat the boots series is woefully low... This is great FZ and deserving of a higher rating in is
community.
