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.

I think that I am starting to get used to, even appreciate, Zappa's humor. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or if I should be frightened :P Great album, thanks :D
J'ai découvert Zappa avec cet album.
Ca aurait pu être pire, non? ^^
(je l'ai tellement écouté que je connais TOUS les "dialogues" par coeur, jeux de mots compris).
Le Be-Bop tango est une pièce d'anthologie Ihmo.
