Frank Zappa: Cheaper than cheep

[Draki]

A great restoration of the 1974 concert.

The video is, well, from 1974, but that is not a big detriment.
The sound quality, however, is excellent, full range and clear. On par with anything produced today.
Amazing musicianship from a top-class artists, all of them.

Highly recommended.

I understand this is the only time this group was recorded live together. I was in my peak Zappa phase in about 74, and his excellent recordings were a major influence in starting my hifi hobby.

"...I was in my peak Zappa phase in about 74, and his excellent recordings were a major influence in starting my hifi hobby."

My Zappa peak was just a little bit later, '77. Still have some Zappa on my phone, in fact - every phone I've ever owned.

I saw Zappa live about that time. I know Duke was on keyboards but I don't know if the other players were the same. It was a great experience.

I was still in nappies and attempting to crawl in 74 but I did get introduced to zappa in early 2000's and these days I can tolerate him, not quite a fan but I can sit and appreciate the lyrics and musical dexterity on show.

I'll have look at the video,
