One of the occasional faults of Frank Zappa's music is that he could very occasionally come across as talking down to the audience somewhat. Not so on this Canadian concert from the original Mothers of Invention (circa Uncle Meat), in which a pleasant vibe exists, the audience clearly open to Zappa's more challenging experiments and Edgar Varese tributes and Zappa and the Mothers rising to the occasion. The end result is a compelling concert which, weighing in at a shade under 90 minutes, manages the trick of simultaneously capturing a lot of different sides of the Mothers' work whilst at the same time not being burdensome in length.
