Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

This mostly live set features Zappa performing with the popular Mothers of Invention line-up of the early 70's--including jazz-funk meister George Duke, Napolean Murphy Brock on saxophone, and Ruth Underwood on percussion. Highlights include the souped-up funk of "Pygmy Twylyte," burning renditions of favorites "Penguin in Bondage" and "More Trouble Every Day," and the hilarious monster movie tribute "Cheepnis." Duke steals the show on several tracks, and Zappa's guitar work and "master of ceremonies" showmanship is in top form. --Andrew Boscardin

Un Essentiel amazon.fr

Avec ce live originellement sorti en 1974 sous forme de double LP, Zappa démontrait aux jeunes loups qu'on l'avait enterré un peu vite - pour ne pas dire enterré vivant - et qu'on ne pouvait décidément compter sans lui. Car Zappa n'est pas que l'expérimentateur de Freak Out et Absolutely Free, le musicos attiré par le jazz électrique de King Kong ou le compositeur aux ambitions démesurées de 200 Motels. C'est aussi un chroniqueur pertinent doublé d'un incroyable show man et un sacré guitariste : en somme, une bête de scène. Avec les fidèles Napoleon Murphy Brock (saxophone), George Duke (piano) et quelques autres dont Chester Thompson (batteur de Weather Report), Zappa distille quelques efficaces effluves aux grooves funky fortement épicés par l'électricité et des textes satiriques du meilleur cru. "Penguin In Bondage" et "Be-Bop Tango" sont désormais des classiques. Et ce live s'installe au panthéon des enregistrements publics signés spar le maître : entre Fillmore East - June 1971 et Live In New York. Incontournable. --Philippe Robert

Customer Reviews

Ruined by vinyl (2003-11-12)

This CD is as good as everyone here says it is - but be warned! In the days of vinyl, when this was a 2 LP set, the last song on each side FADED OUT! You're jamming along with an incendiary More Trouble Every Day and then it JUST FADES OUT! What a crime! Since this is a single CD I doubt it was fixed for the digital age. Where's the master tapes for this? This CD needs serious expansion and remastering. The tapes have to exist somewhere. C'mon, get it together and give us the FULL cuts!

if you like apostrophe and overnite sensation (2003-11-07)

then you'll like this. my own case was that i first listened to Ap and OS and then grabbed other albums like we're only in it for the money, hot rats, sheik yerbouti etc, but was disappointed. yeah sure these albums might have funny lyrics, guitar solos, weird music etc but still is not as musically enjoyable as the above two.

but R&E is much more accessible and in the vein of Ap and OS.Likewise with one size fits all.

Goooood (2003-10-20)

This is not one of my favorite Zappa albums, but it will still make you listen in awe.

Napoleon Murphy Brock/Chester Thompson (2003-05-29)

with NMB and CT and not to mention Ruth Underwood, this cd just cooks from beginning to end. And it is live, but upshows most studio recordings by any other band of the era, or even now. Village of the Sun and Penguin in Bondage are two songs that live in infamy in the live zappa catalog. Really a great CD, and I understand it is all remastered and lovely.

This CD contains the greatest piece of music ever created (2003-04-16)

What track? you might ask.the answerEchidna's Arf It is the greatest song ever. Period. Thats it. To buy this cd is to own a recording of the greatest song ever. I think a chance to do something like that is worth a million dollars but you're getting it for way less. That is totally sweet, and so is the song, buy the cd NOW!
