Here we have another great show from Frank Zappa. If you loved the last couple of posts from Frank, you're going to love this one lots of lead guitar. I think I need to go back a few more years next time, highlight a different era. This was a recent acquisition of mine. I downloaded it from a website called 24bit Music. They have a lot of commercially available content but a bootleg or two comes up often enough that I check the sight semi regularly. Anyway I have been listening to this show too much that's how good it is!

For me, he is a musician who has brought so much to the music. And still, he will remain the greatest.
