FRANK ZAPPA & THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - WATERLOO SUNSET

  • frank zappa & the mothers of invention: waterloo sunset
        (2015, 2lp + cd, europe, way of wizard records)
I'm no longer on the lookout for Frank Zappa bootleg albums, but every once in a while I come across something that looks too good, or that I want to hear.

"Waterloo Sunset" is such an album.
Released almost ten years ago by the Way Of Wizard Records label, it's a 2 LP set that comes with a bonus CD (with the same recording), in this case a fine soundboard recording of a 1973 show:

1973 11 18 - University Of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada

FZ, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Tom Fowler, George Duke, Ruth Underwood, Bruce Fowler, Ralph Humphrey, Chester Thompson
 
80 min, SBD, A

soundcheck intro, Be-Bop Tango, T'Mershi Duween, I'm The Slime, Big Swifty, Pygmy Twylyte, The Idiot Bastard Son, Cheepnis, Montana, improvisations, Dupree's Paradise (q: Echidna's Arf, T'Mershi Duween, incl. Nowhere riff)

The 2LP was made available in three variations: blue, red and green vinyl.
I went for the blue one.

For the best available audio, go to Zappateers to download the show.
