Is nothing less than stunning - while Napoleon Murphy Brock gives the band a Underwood (previously "Presto"n) has never shined so bright - "Echidna's Arf (of You)" I'm partial to this lineup of THE MOTHERS: Ruth This one rocks: dazzling arrangements, brilliant songs, a modicum of molten guitar licksĪnd some clever stage banter. Posted Tuesday, Ap| Review this album | Report (Review #29925) After the jazzy Grand Wazoo album, Zappa made 5 records between 19, and this one is the most instrumental and jazz/fusion by far! "Cheepnis" is an absolutely addictive track, very catchy, rhythm changing, complex and fast! The consecutive "Echidna's Arf" and "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" demonstrate a great mastering of the challenging synchronization of instrumentation those tracks have very complex and fast fusion patterns Ruth Underwood's percussions are outstanding! Zappa does not miss to play some impossible guitar solos. "Be-Bop Tango" is a 16 minutes tracks where Zappa invites some people in the audience to dance while George Duke scats and plays a solo at the same time this track also contains an outstanding trombone solo, plus "impossible to play" xylophone-drums-bass-trumpet combination. The record has many fast and complex instrumental parts. This is a highly anticipated release for Zappa fans who have waited many years for the concert footage to finally be released.That's entertainment! This double LP record has been recorded live, and Frank Zappa plays the role of an entertainer on it! There are many parts where just a light background music gives an atmosphere to the conversations and to Zappa's oral presentations. It captures Frank and the Mothers at the height of their powers and includes material that is unique to these performances. Now fully restored by the Zappa Family Trust this live concert film is being made available for the first time. The performances were also filmed in 16mm and this footage has been sitting in the Zappa vault ever since.
