Title: Zappa and The Turtles!
Review: Using the name of the band "The Mothers" is a misnomer here. This disc is a live set with The Turtles. And while it may not be the best live recording or best CD in Zappa's discography ("Willie The Pimp" got shortened and only part one is presented here) but it does have that certain charm.Tracks 1 through 8 are essentially one very long version of "The Groupie Routine". It's quite raunchy and deliciously fun! "The Mud Shark" is a very catchy track and you may find yourself just humming it to yourself for no real reason. Track 8 is a fun punchline to the tracks that came before it. The rest is primo Zappa with some amazing solos. Afterwards, Track 11 is a great salute to bebop. It's a fantastic closer to a very good album.
