An impressive picture of Zappa´s band tour in 1974, with his most skilled group of
musicians ever recruited. The line-up that recorded Overnite, Apostrophe, Roxy and One
Size, is here represented in its highest complexity envolvment, including some memorable
solos and quite impossible rhythm variations. With guys like the precise Fowler, the fast
Ruth Underwood, the funky Duke, the monster Thompsom and the hilarious and dancin´
Brock, it´s impossible to not believe that this album is a masterpiece. And it catches the
group at the peak of the 74 tour ! The repertoire is the basic set list of this period, but
some songs never released on LP´s, like Approximate, Dupree's Paradise and many other
short interludes, are played here as fast as hell, and with an incredible precision, showing
the technical level that Zappa and his guys had achieved at that moment. It´s really
impressive. The conventional live acts Inca Roads, RDNZL, Stinkfoot and the whole rest of
the two discs are amazing stuff that deserves an obligatory listen of people interested in
progressive live rock bands really showing technical habilities in almost every second of
music presented here. Either in vocal parts or in instrumental tracks, the guys are very
serious in what they´re doing, and they do it with lots of fun. The comic side of this line-up
is present here too, with some bizzarre dialogues between Brock and Zappa, where it´s
almost impossible to not laugh.
So, the cover is a little bit stupid anyway, altough the booklet is full of information.
Five sta, definetely.
