JUST ANOTHER BAND FROM L.A.

This is basically the 2nd part of the Fillmore East album for those of you who are Flo and Eddie fans. Personally, I think most of their shenanigans are obnoxious and I don't like most of the albums that they are involved with. This one probably has a little better quality recording than Filmore East did, but it's still very annoying, even more so. This album is loaded with humor and vocals, not much in the way of solos or instrumentals, though Frank does go into a short guitar solo in the middle of "Call Any Vegetable".

The opener on this is the 24 minute epic that was not recorded on any official album before this point. It is FZ satirical take on the rock opera trend that was popular at the time. It's a funny enough skit, but most of it is goofing around and spoken word with very little to offer musically. It takes up an entire side of this album, and after the first listen, kind of loses it's impact. The other tracks on the B-side don't get much better either. It's just full of a lot of Flo and Eddie hijinx and some of it is original to this album and most of it is Flo and Eddie's takes on past Mother's tracks.

If you are a fan of the era in FZ's history, then you will enjoy this. Personally, I would rather listen to almost any other era in FZ's discography than anything with Flo and Eddie in it, and this album does nothing to win me over either. Not that great for me.
