I have a select few Zappa albums that I really like, and The Mothers '71 Fillmore album is one of them. There are so many Zappa albums, its real easy to get lost. In my top five this is in the number two spot (Hot Rats is my favorite- I really dig the instrumental direction from this period). The Mothers take a different route on this live outing then they had on previous albums (most likely because its not really the Mothers... it's The Turtles). The story telling style of the set is common on live Zappa; but I don't usually get absorbed in other long winded Zappa rants. The story of the mudshark is kinda nasty but quality entertainment and is delivered with a good pace, and very tight musicianship from the Mothers (Turtles).
