Recorded live between 1969 and 1984.
Two more hours of assorted live performances from Frank Zappa's vast archives. The intent here was again to show off the skills of his '70s and '80s ensembles (one cut of the Mothers in '69 appears on each of the discs) and the songs are for the most part drawn from then-current releases. A few older numbers ("My guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" and "Willie the Pimp") are given a spin, and show themselves worthy of the trip. A nice surprise comes in the form of "Love Of My Life" (from RUBEN & THE JETS) played at a New York City club in 1980 (the city where large chunks of the early Mothers of Invention's repertoire came into its own). As with the other titles in this series, they're sequenced with a keen sense of making a worthy listening experience and not just documenting the past.
