"You guys! THIS is the place to start with live Frank Zappa. If you are just browsing or starting your FZ journey, this 1972 - 1974 era band has the distinct honor of being the most prolific of Frank’s lineups over the three decades of his music. The Freak in me wants you to know that after hearing this show in full, you will have born witness to possibly the tightest live rock act to ever grace a stage. Parable or not, trust me when I suggest to you to do yourself a favor and take on this entire recording to drop in and tune in to one of rock’s most gifted creators. Carry on!"
