— due out June 21 — chronicles the unique evening, which the band recorded for release but, in Zappa’s signature fashion, divvied up for spare parts on other recordings. promised “5 full hours of unprecedented merriment, which will be secretly recorded for an upcoming record album.” It went on to say, “Dress optional. Starting sometime in the evening. R.S.V.D.T.” but the state of the audience’s dress , what time it started, and whatever the “D.T.” stood for in French are all lost to history.
What does exist, at least now, are all five-or-so hours of jazz-rock experimentation the group treated their probably stark-naked fans with. The first officially released track from the collection, “The Duke – Take 2,” finds the Mothers noodling with wah-wah guitar, drums, and what could be a tambourine in perpetual motion for five-and-a-half minutes.
A super deluxe edition of collection is available either as a five-LP or 3-CD set. It includes liner notes by the Zappa family “Vaultmeister” Joe Travers, who coproduced the set with Ahmet Zappa, and by the GTO’s Pamela Des Barres, who performed at the concert. Ahmet also interviewed Alice Cooper, who also performed that night, for the liners.
If five LPs is too heavy, there will also be a double-LP highlights release available. And all major high-res streaming services will host the full five hours.“It truly was a night of nights,” Travers wrote in the liner notes. “The Mothers performance wasn’t perfect, but very good. Frank was in good spirits, the band played well, and the sequence of songs did capture the group’s live repertoire of the time.
