Negative Positive
Title: Bunch of short tracks
Review: This CD was originally released as part of the Beat the Boots II boxset. Zappa took old bootleg recordings of his concerts and released them on CD and took the money for himself (which was the right thing to do).Most of this comes from a concert with what I call the Ike Willis band. Zappa had a semi-stable band with Ike Willis for many years. On this album are Ed Mann (who has a very nice solo album if you can find it, Barrow, Caoluita, Mars, Walley and Wolf. A date is not given, but I am guessing it is from a tour just after Joe's Garage part 1 was released.There are two tracks from something called the Rueben and the Jets tour, but features the Flo and Eddie band.The CD title is a good name for it as it features mostly short, silly tracks.The sound quality is OK but not great. It is not what I would call professional quality, but it is better than many "professional" live albums released today. It is better than many of the Dave Matthews releases.
Is the review positive or negative?
