I hope vaultmeister Joe makes an official release of this concert from the tapes in the vault. Interlude is probably my favorite Zappa composition, but then again every Zappa composition is my favorite so. 😂
I couldn’t agree more, Jacob; this would make an ideal "Road Tapes" release. As MrDanylong stated, portions have been extracted in the past from this show (Mozart Ballet, Little House), but hearing the pieces in their original live context is a revelation.
Knowing the uniform part from the album I wanted to hear the Brown Shoes that he said they would attempt. Fantastic! Being a collector of live tapes from years back the quality to me is very good for an audience tape. Thank you for this!
Great post, the sound quality is honestly pretty decent. It does nosedive a bit around track ten but not for long. Great to hear that version of 'Brown Shoes' promised on Burnt Weenie Sandwich!
It's included on the Joe's Domage album as 'Another Whole Melodic Section', a recording made during the rehearsals for the Grand Wazoo. That's the closest thing to an official release, still not great sound quality but still better than how it sounds on the audience tapes.
Thank you so much for so many amazing posts and for introducing mr to my now favorite version of "Pound For A Brown"/"Sleeping In A Jar" with extra intro speech! A big zappahug for you from London!
So glad I saw your new upload. Not only because I am a huge zappaphile but also because I have been thinking of you in Italy. Are staying safe and well, my friend?
@yztrewq - Thank's my friend. I live in the sickest area of Italy. I have many colleagues, friends and relatives infected, but I'm fine. I have been living in the house for many weeks and it will be like this for a long time to come. Ciao
@@br1tag grazie, sir. This has to be the toughest challenge that you and your loved ones have ever had to deal with, my thoughts and prayers with you all the way. Hang in there!!!
Thanks for your thumbs-up. Was the line up: Zappa, Underwood, Preston, Gardner, Black, Tripp, Estrada.? Motorhead, even? I've had a recent return to Zappa's early music, which, some reservation's side, still sounds eminently listenable. Shame about wailin' Roy Estrada though!!
I think you did a very good job on "fixes", honestly, I think it sounds pretty good. Of course I'm old so there's that. A nice think for those of us stuck inside. Thanks so much!
Any chance of a track breakdown? I'm fifty minutes in and there is some material that I've not heard before. It's a great gig, and thanks very much for uploading it.
Amazing! Are the pictures by Artie Tripp? I was there and can say more about the security event. It was a little more bizarre than it sounds, the only people that rushed the stage were a group of about 8 American kids all aged about 12. I was in the back half of the arena and had an aisle seat. They obviously had front row seats or near. I recognised the kids as they were rather hyperactive and had been rushing around the queueing area before the show. It was a hot day. I think they must have been sent there by their Mums and Dads to get them off their hands for a while. Maybe they were the children of diplomats attending the American school. The security had no problem ushering these kids back to their place. They were pre teen, young for this kind of concert. I don't think anyone ever owned up to being the paranoid shouter. It was all rather embarrassing as on this occasion there was really nothing to shout about. Before the concert started, for some reason Don Preston jumped off stage and jogged right up the central aisle , right past me, maybe to listen to sound from back of the theatre, or some other reason, maybe to check everything was in place for his "Phantom o the Opera" climb up to the pipe organ for Louie Louie. 5 years ago when the Grandmothers did their last tour, by then just Don and Bunk and a drummer, at a small west London club with sadly no more than 30 in the audience, I found myself standing right next to Don and had a short conversation with him. What a nice guy! He told me that Suzy Creamcheese, Pamela Zarubica, was still living in London, just "around the corner". The audience overall were a typically tame London audience. There was a little heckling from behind me on two occasions, some during the supporting act in the intermission, a vaudeville type duo called "Times Square Two". Then a bloke directly in front of me turned round and shouted "Screw It" back at the hecklers. The account of Pound For A Brown On The Bus is exactly as I remember it. It was an odd king of day, I got the bus from Egham by myself, it was hot and an attractive girl in the queue fainted in the heat, but I was seated on the bus and only saw through the window. The the bus broke down halfway there and had to be replaced, at Hounslow depot. Judging by the seats occupied that I could see, the concert looked like a sell out, surely someone else remembers it?
@@philipjjacobs Good to hear from you Philip, are you still around London? Did you see any other Zappa concerts? Last one I saw was 1974 Empire Pool Wembley, best one I saw. Chunga's revenge was the second encore, terrific. I was at the fateful Rainbow concert too.
@@benmcdonnell4167 Mostly in Dorset, a bit in London. I also saw The Grand Wazoo at The Oval and the Wembley one with Jean Luc Ponty on 14th Sept 1973. Chunga`s and Son of Mr Green Genes was the encore. You can listen to it on Sugarmegs, though you probably know that.
Any Live Shows of Joe’s Garage and ofcourse of Fillmore East 1971. Please advise. Have never commented before, but may this Virus thingee has made me “ Just Write It”. ✌️👋🏼🤚❤️☮️
If you dont have immunity yet, you better appoint somebody to store and distribute your collection or some of us are going have a difficult time living without the product of your work.
Wat een beroerde opname! Sorry, what the hell with that recordings Not the quality we Just to concerts from FZ But still thanks 👍 I Will listen it very carefully ofcourse! Thanks again!
Think yourself lucky to have a live concert from Zappa's best ever band, at his most creative. I'd rather have one of these than a dozen of the Flo & Eddie monstrosity, for example.
@@trevorbarre5616 haha yeah ur right! For me is the music and Line up with Ruth Unterwood, George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ralph Humphrey, Bruce and Thom Fowler, Jean-luc Ponty, Don Preston, Chester Thomson, his best time. The recordings in that time where great! English is not my native language. I know the diehard Zappa fan likes his first years with the Mothers the most. Maybe it is. Creative,, avantgarde. I miss sometimes the things They do because of the lack in my knowledge about the language and the situation at the States in that time. I miss the irony and satire. Words I don't understand. So, musicly its definitely '71 -'76.
This is not an easy concert to do, everytime i EQ, i think to myself what are the issues and whats causing it? Well this tape must have been thru hell and back, this came from an oldreel whixh orobably has never been baked and has been transferred poorly, luckily its 2020 and this can be fixed
The best its ever been played was with this band I think ! Fuzzy dice ..🎹🎸🎷🎻🎼 We could all be walking zombies soon ..🐘 Who was in the audience that night ..I wonder ..? 😕
Mr. Tag, Bumped into your Guitar Never Stops edits a couple years ago. I listened ONLY to that for almost 9 weeks. Played it over & over in a single day. Amazing solos. Your edits are even more amazing. They are like opiates to me. You have me hooked. My Zappa collection now collectes dust. I only listen to br1tag stuff now. Your like Frosted Flakes. Your great!! Nice job Mr. Tag & keep up the good work. I love that Zappa music & your edits even more. You are the poop.
Funny how his 'revolution' dig before 'Brown on the Bus' falls absolutely flat. Presumable the sort of guys who heckled the usher had absolutely no sense of humour about themselves?
