gvopedz Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Frank Zappa did release the Piquantique CD and, according to its notes, the recording has at least part of the 21 August 1973 Stockholm concert (including at least part of “Dupree’s Paradise”). Zappa experts can probably provide more details about Piquantique. The CD was part of Zappa's “Beat the Boots” effort: "Beat the Boots is a collection of bootleg recordings of performances by Frank Zappa which were originally distributed illegally but were released officially by Rhino Entertainment in 1991 as part of Zappa's campaign to dissuade his fans from buying illegal recordings of his concerts. The recordings were available as individual CDs and as an CDs, LPs or cassette box set."

Д.Д. Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 It's a shame this band imploded before the scheduled end of the tour. Zappa's guitar playing was getting better and better (it was sort of hesitant at the beginning of the tour but his last '88 concert in Genoa had him playing beautifully - see "Outside Now" from "Broadway the Hard Way" or "After Dinner Smoker" from "Trance-Fusion") and the band was getting increasingly loose with improvisations. But well, as the man said, touring can make you crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I saw Zappa 3 or 4 times in concert between 1974 and 1984, I would have attended the 1988 Atlanta concert if the band hadn't self-destructed in Europe. I can't think of any rock musician who got so much out of his instrumentalists and the ability to switch gears mid-concert into different arrangements on the fly was unusual.

Jason Bivins Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I saw FZ in Cleveland on this tour and I'm pretty sure he didn't play a note of guitar all night. Was an amazing gig though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Zappa had little patience with interviewers who didn't do their homework or asked stupid questions. He got a kick out of my recognizing his quote of "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" in his song "Rhymin' Man" ("Nobody knows that song!") and that I told him it was a parody of the hymn "Revive Us Again." But our station soundboard did not have sufficient volume for a phone interview in 1989, so I caught hell about that issue, even though I had no control over it, being a mere volunteer program producer at the time. Frankly, I had more problems dealing with Herb Ellis and Ruby Braff being a bit too full of themselves compared to Zappa, I erased the Ellis interview without bothering to hear it.

Herb Ellis could be a real dick. He called the luthier that made both of my guitars, and told him he'd play one of his guitars, if he gave him it for free. The luthier told him to go screw himself.

It was a POS. Then I tried other PRS models and they were fine. Maybe the Santana model had the old pickup in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 6 CDs of 200 Motels is far too much for me. The original is baggy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Yeah...loved the movie, tolerated the album, and have moved on about most all of what it's about (except the pure orchestra stuff, that still works for me). Waiting to see what they do with the Grand Wazzoo/WakaJawaks material when it reaches the appropriate age. Wondering what might be lurking in there... But "Penis Dimension" and "Half A dozen Provocative Squats", stuff like that is, uh...no more of that, Once was enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
