While I don't think this is the best album Zappa and the Mothers have done, especially given what he's done from Freak Out to Weasels Ripped My Flesh were better. By this point, Zappa did a complete overhaul of the Mothers, keeping Don Preston and Ian Underwood from the old Mothers, and adding Jim Pons on bass, drummer Aynsley Dunbar (later of Journey, Jefferson Starship, etc.), and of course ex-Turtles Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman aka Flo & Eddie. This album was of course recorded live at the Fillmore East and was one of the last performances at the Fillmore. This album seems to be recorded the same night as John Lennon & Yoko Ono that became their Sometime In New York album. Anyway the music of Zappa's Filmore East album tends to the bathroom humor spectrum, songs that contain lyrics that I can't type here. The music was about obsessed groupies who demands a certain band to play their hit record "with a bullet". Which turns out to be "Happy Together". One song actually mentions hopping in the trunk of one's Gremlin. What's really funny is if you are familiar with cars from that time period, the AMC Gremlin had no trunk, instead it had a hatchback. They were also very small, so being romantic in a Gremlin is actually quite unromantic. I hear how "Willie the Pimp" was cut on the CD, but since I have the LP, let me tell you, this uncut version is amazing! The rest of the album contains original material, as well as live versions of previously released material. One of them, "Little House I Used to Live In" is not nearly as good as the original off Burnt Weeny Sandwich, because it's not as powerful, nowhere as long, and doesn't have that killer violin solo from Don "Sugarcane" Harris. Plus the album does have its share of filler (particularly near the end) that seems to only exist to fill up the album and little else, but still, not a bad album. So if you don't mind a Zappa album that emphasizes silly, juvenile bathroom humor, you'll like this.
