While the starting time installation of the You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore serial was a mixture of various songs from different eras of Zappas career, volume 2 comes up in the form of an entire concert, recorded in Helsinki, Finland in 1974. All of the musicians on here were present for Roxy & Elsewhere, which was actually released a few weeks prior to this concert. The group at this fourth dimension, consisting of George Duke on keyboards, Napoleon Tater Brock on sax/flute and vocals, Ruth Underwood on percussion, Tom Fowler on bass, Chester Thompson on drums, and FZ on guitar and vocals, is among the most tight and cohesive groups that Zappa ever had, as they could essentially anything at any given moment, for example rapid fire flourishes of every instrument into a call and response game with Zappa, they were one of the nigh talented incarnations of Zappa's career to say the least. You'll find on this anthology a wide variety of pieces ranging from A Token of My Extreme (titled Tush Tush Tush), which would end up on Joe's Garage, to Dupree'south Paradise (which would eventually be played on The Perfect Stranger) and it'southward all played magnificently by the band.

The first disc opens with the electrical keyboard flourishes of Tush Tush Tush, which is essentially the opening warm upwardly of the group where the members get on the stage. The first song played is Stinkfoot, which while non living up to its studio counterpart, is a very trying effort with some bully solo guitar from Zappa. After a rousing version of Inca Roads, the instrumental RDNZL (which would end up on Studio Tan 4 years after) is played in a slightly stripped down form in comparing to the bombast studio version. You'll notice many songs that were on Roxy & Elsewhere towards the terminate of the first disc, in fact 5 of the last 7 songs were on Roxy & Elsewhere. I'm fonder of the fuller sound that R&East had with these pieces, but despite that these are slap-up renditions with some superb work from every member throughout. A nice inclusion for the set was The Idiot Bastard Son, which gets a stellar song rendition from Irish potato Brock, who in the song prior to this one, Room Service, has fantastic vocal interplay with Zappa and a great shell to information technology compliments of Chester Thompson.

The second disc opens with a piece from the Grand Wazoo days titled Approximate, which is essentially a tightly constructed free for all slice that has some rampant runs from all instruments. When they perform it vocally in the beginning, too as stomp their feet to it, you can hear the audition have a good laugh at it. Towards the middle Chester Thompson belts out a great drum solo that really rounds out the rest of the piece. Dupree'southward Paradise follows, which is essentially a 24 minute instrumental that has a spoken department towards the middle. All the stops are pulled out here musically, with low register synthesizer and moog fills from Duke, droning marimba and percussion from Underwood, a imperial flute solo from Murphy Brock, Zappa's guitar insanity, and some peak notch rhythmic work from Fowler (who performs a killer bass solo) and Thomspson. The rest of the testify consists of several shorter pieces, ranging from the majestic Uncle Meat/Dog Jiff Variations, to a rousing and hilarious working of Montana, and information technology comes to a close with the opening flourishes of Big Swifty. I'll mention that many unreleased songs are played betwixt these pieces, but they are zero I would call spectacular (although the Finnish Tango is pretty killer).

In the stop, Yous Can't Do That on Stage Anymore Book 2 is the perfect summation of this era in Zappa'due south productive career. If you're just getting into the serial I think I would recommend this 1 outset every bit information technology is the most cohesive of the entire collection (being that it is just i concert and not a wild combination of many). The setlist is nifty, likewise, and nothing really lets me down nearly this slice. You can't go wrong with this one. 4.five/v

A few years earlier his decease, Frank Zappa went into the vaults and examined the massive stockpile of alive recordings to find the best ones and started putting out compilation live albums entitled You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore. A total of six two-disc volumes were released. Of these six albums, 5 were made up of songs from various concerts with diverse lineups, with the exception of this album. For Vol. ii, Frank chose 2 or three concerts in Helsinki, Republic of finland that took place over two days in September of 1974. The fact that he would devote two whole CDs to a single outcome should be an indicator every bit to the value Frank attributes to these shows.

At present, many reviews say that the lineup here is one of Zappa'southward best and most cohesive. While that's certainly true, this line of praise always seems unnecessary when talking nearly Frank Zappa. I mean, he meticulously auditioned musicians and those who passed apposite for months earlier they ever shared a phase with the man. Thus, pretty much every lineup that Zappa has played with is immensely talented and feeds of one another rather well. However, the truly impressive thing most this lineup is how few people are playing, particularly when y'all listen to the sounds they get. In addition to Frank, we get George Duke on keyboards, Napoleon Murphy Brock on sax/flute and vocals, Ruth Underwood on percussion, Tom Fowler on bass, and Chester Thompson on drums. At times, this sextet sounds similar a big ring considering how many rhythms they can squeeze into one section.

The evidence opens with Tush, Tush, Tush, a image of A Token of My Farthermost with vastly different lyrics. This leads into Stinkfoot, an beauteous rendition of ane of Frank's more well-known tunes consummate with a practiced solo. I can't determine whether I like the studio version or this 1 more, but which one is superior really isn't important. Still, there is no question that the adjacent vocal, Inca Roads, is vastly superior to the studio version that is actually derived from a cut of this recording. Here, in its uncut celebrity, information technology'due south a sprawling guitar showcase that is as tasteful every bit it is mindblowing. RDNZL is some other then-unreleased tune, this 1 much rawer than its eventual studio counterpart. The rest of disc one is fairly straightforward, with some rousing R&B in Village of the Lord's day and a mini-showcase for the band in Echidna's Arf (On Y'all). Brock is the star of the last bit of disc one, with some great vocals on Room Service and The Idiot Bounder Son; the latter in particular gets a nifty boost from his input.

Disc Two is where the magic really is. Approximate is a neat rendition of Frank's Yard Wazoo-era material, but nothing can compare to the monolith that follows information technology. Dupree'south Paradise is a sprawling epic that goes off in all sorts of directions, but is so taut that I'yard not sure if I could phone call it a jam. Echinda'south Arf hinted to the prowess of these players, just over the course of the 24 minutes of Dupree we are indeed shown paradise. Fowler not only keeps the rhythm while Ruth and Chester create dizzyingly complex percussion, he likewise has a hell of a bass solo. Brock has been showing off his saxophone skills throughout, only his flute solo blows it away. Duke'southward keyboard fills and Moog flashes and Frank's masterful guitar are the icing on the cake. Afterward this intense display, the ring plays some Finnish tunes and some shorter stuff like Dog Breath Variations and Uncle Meat. These are performed perfectly every bit well, merely the 2d all-time treat (behind Dupree'due south Paradise) is the strange rendition of Montana. After an audience fellow member requests Frank to do his cover of the Allman Brothers Band'due south classic Whipping Post, Frank launches into Montana earlier suddenly mixing it with the aforementioned Whipping Post, while poor backing singers George and White potato have to scramble to continue up with Frank'due south spontaneous re-writing of the lyrics. Not only that, simply Frank starts playing so fast that Ruth and George stumble with the percussion. As funny every bit all that is, the band astonishingly adapts quickly and gives the states a killer operation complete with a killer guitar solo and a funk jam at the finish, which leads into Big Swifty. Big Swifty is fairly straightforward and brings the evidence to a shut.

Overall, I adopt Zappa in New York because I've listened to it more, but this is the superior live anthology. At that place actually isn't a irksome moment on the album, and it is often transcendent. Despite its dense songs, this is one of the better places for newcomers to outset, every bit it does a superb task of showing what Zappa was capable of, with its liberal dash of humour and its amazing musicianship. You lot really can't be a Zappa fan and non own this anthology.

Grade: A

PROG REVIEWER

This is one of the all-time examples of a alive album where the historical importance outstrips my actual enjoyment of it. This is a recording of two concerts Zappa did in Helsinki on the same twenty-four hour period in 1974 (the best parts of each concert were used in compiling the anthology), and it'south gone down equally an absolute legend in Zappa's history. Its two near prominent historical aspects are (a) that the guitar solo in this album's version of "Inca Roads" is the one that got used on One Size Fits All, and (b) the call from a fellow member of the audience for the band to do "Whipping Post," which ended up leading to the band making that a regular part of its live shows in the 1980's. I guess the latter has kinda gone down in history every bit Zappa's equivalent of a fan yelling out "Judas!" at Bob Dylan'south famous 1966 concert, and as such it's lead to people attaching a lot of importance to this evidence on the whole.

I definitely don't like it as much as I do Roxy, though. First of all: I don't at all get the bespeak of the Xx Four MINUTES of "Dupree'due south Paradise" that sits near the showtime of disc ii. It'southward got some bits of a skit buried inside information technology at some point, and at that place are some decent jazzy bits hither and there, but mostly it just sits there equally a giant lump of boredom that keeps going and going and going. It's one of the least entertaining lengthy pieces I've ever heard in my life, and definitely one of my least favorite Zappa tracks, even if information technology has a few moments (peculiarly near the commencement) where information technology virtually threatens to become interesting.

In that location's other material here, loved by others I'm sure, that doesn't thrill me a lot. I've never been a huge fan of "Montana," which turns into a very long guitar solo that simply sorta entertains me, and even this version, with the band changing the lyrics to reverberate the "Whipping Post" request, doesn't make me jump up and down. I'k also a niggling disappointed with how "Hamlet of the Sun" is washed on this album; doing it at a rushed tempo makes it lose a lot of its amuse, and it almost sounds similar the band is just trying to get it over with. Oh, and "RDNZL" (which would later show up on Studio Tan) continues to strike me equally somewhat tedious, even if it has some good aspects.

The rest of the album is quite nice, though. "Echidna'south Arf (Of You)" and "Don't Y'all Ever Wash That Matter?," even without the overdubs of Roxy, even so audio totally awesome, confirming their positions as among Zappa'due south best tracks. "Cheepnis" suffers a little bit more from lack of overdubs (and without the cracking spoken introduction), merely the fun melodies and rhythmic shifts remain as awesome as ever. And the other Roxy track in the lot, "Pygmy Twylyte," actually improves from earlier, as it'south graced with some of Frank's best soloing on the album.

Aside from a really nice functioning of "Inca Roads" (which has some power and roughness to it that I would have liked to take heard in the One Size version), and a mid-length jazzy jam chosen "Gauge" (which I like quite a bit), the rest of the album consists of various shorter songs, and they're more often than not a hoot. Apostrophe is represented past "Stinkfoot," which preserves most of the charms of the original, and the residue is either from much earlier albums or is new material. There'south one new skit ("Room Service") that's quite amusing, a new song they'd never played before ("Satumaa (Finnish Tango)") and a couple of new short interludes ("T'Mershi Duween," "Building a Daughter"). And finally, at that place are older surprises like "The Idiot Bastard Son," "The Canis familiaris Breath Variations," "Uncle Meat" and, equally the finale, a two-minute teaser of "Big Swifty." It'southward from these shorter tracks, by the way, that a big chunk of the overal favorable rating comes.

And then basically, I'm not incredibly thrilled with the album, but I think it has a lot of charm, and information technology works as a nice complement to Roxy. It'll never be one of my very favorite live albums, largely because of the lengthy agony of "Dupree's Paradise," but information technology'southward nice enough.

SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Crossover & JR/F/Canterbury Teams

This album is a strong contender to steal the title of "Best Frank Zappa Alive Album" away from "Roxy & Elsewhere". Recorded by the same lineup, and containing many of the aforementioned songs, this album shows just how great that group was, even without all the overdubs.

The ring blazes through Echidna'southward Arf (Of You), and does wild things to Pygmy Twilight, and blends a bunch of Allman Brothers references into Montana (Whipping Floss). It'due south besides great to hear Cheepnis the style it really sounded in concert (the Roxy version is amassed with overdubs).

And there's plenty of neat music that, in 1988 when this was released, had not been available on any legitimate Zappa releases. The highlight is a long version of Dupree's Paradise, where, except for a brusk spoken bit, the vocal far outshines the orchestral recording.

This is the only complete concert Frank included in the "You Can't Do This On Stage Anymore" series, and I tin run across why. If you desire to know why many of us Zappa fans feel this was his greatest line up, get this album.

four.v stars.I would have to say that this is the best live Zappa album i've heard and then far. Anybody mentions how tight they were at this betoken and for good reason. Basically this is the aforementioned lineup that did "Roxy & Elesewhere" mostly in Dec of 1973. And then hither we are in Finland in September of 1974. All those live gigs in betwixt have made these guys tighter than a duck's ass. Sad that Zappa humour is rubbing off. As usual we become lots of talking and verbal skits during the show along with some absolutely amazing instrumental work.

"Tush Tush Tush" makes me laugh with two of the guys talking most over each other.The crowd thanks when Frank comes out on the stage 2 minutes in and introduces the band. "Stinkfoot" has Frank on vocals and nosotros get some raw guitar after a minute. We become some dissonance later 2 ane/2 minutes then more guitar.

"Inca Roads" has George Duke on vocals. Lots of vibes. Guitar two 1/2 minutes in and the piano joins in.The guitar goes on and on.The piano leads after 8 minutes and nosotros get some prominant bass likewise.Vibes 10 minutes in then the vocals render. "RDNZL" has lots of vibes from Underwood early on then information technology kicks in after 1 ane/ii minutes. Pianoforte and sax afterward. What a great sounding instrumental.

"Village Of The Sun" is an uptempo rocker early and so it calms down with vocals. It picks back up and the vocals come and go.We get a sax solo too and organ later. "Echidna's Arf (Of Y'all)" opens with some guitar equally vibes and sax come in. Information technology blends into "Don't You Ever Launder That Thing".Guitar later on one 1/ii minutes.Zappa starts speaking before 2 ane/ii minutes then cheque out the drums and vibes that follow.

"Pygmy Twylyte" has some raw guitar as vocals get in a infinitesimal in. I like this one a lot.The relaxed guitar after 4 1/2 minutes goes on and on. And so skillful. "Room Service" has lots of spoken dialogue. "Idiot Bastard Son" causes the audience to cheer when they realize what song it is. And this is a skillful ane. "Cheepnis" has some fast paced vocals.

Disc two begins with "Judge" a song that is all over the place really.Gotta love the pulsate testify from Chester before 5 minutes and then Frank responds in kind with the guitar. "Dupree'south Paradise" opens with conversations and then we get music before 8 minutes. Maybe the highlight of the whole album is the instrumental department from before 8 minutes to the end. Especially until effectually xv minutes. Incredible !

"Satumaa" is a crowd pleaser equally they do a Finnish Tango. "T'Mershi Duween" reminds me of Area belive it or not, especially the keyboards.

"The Domestic dog breath Variations" is fantastic of class. Lots of vibes in "Uncle Meat" while "Edifice A Girl" is somewhat experimental. "Montana" is maybe the funniest function of the show because a fan yells out "Whipping Post" and that starts Frank off and he includes the words "Whipping Post" in the song "Montana" much to the delight of the crowd.They also like when Frank starts the song by singing "I might be moving to Helsinki soon..." Honey the guitar 6 minutes in. "Large Swifty" ends information technology with this brusque instrumental then Frank introduces the performers once more than exit the stage.

This is a must if your a Zappa fan.

Review by Warthur
PROG REVIEWER

The crown jewel of Zappa'southward Yous Can't Do That On Stage Anymore series. Whilst the other double-disc sets were catch-bags of recordings from a range of performances, for this release Zappa chose to focus on the tapes from a small gear up of performances over a couple of days in Helsinki. The album does not present a recording of any one concert in particular, just is compiled in such a way as to provide a cohesive concert experience for the listener and to cram as many of the different tracks into the set as possible, which I ever find preferable in live albums to more scattershot diplomacy.

Equally far equally editing goes, information technology'southward absolutely seamless - so once again, Zappa had decades of tape manipulation under his belt at this point. The item care and attending given to these performances advise that Zappa considered them a detail high point of his concert career, to the bespeak where he felt they deserved a consummate YCDTOSA fix devoted to them.

On balance, he's probably right since this involves the lineup who made the likes of Roxy & Elsewhere and One Size Fits all - an incarnation of the Mothers who had a somewhat better residuum between the pioneering experimental music that fine art rock and prog fans dear Zappa for and the more comedic elements of his style.

Over time, I take institute Zappa'due south post-1960s one-act has gone dried for me, which means that this set has rather dimmed in my eyes - but I'd say that if you wanted just 1 live album from this period of Zappa's piece of work, this actually pips Roxy & Elsewhere to the postal service, since it doesn't enquire the listener to appreciate what was essentially a visual spectacle in the concluding dance number from that anthology.

This alive anthology preserves some of the finest live guitar playing I've ever heard rendered unto tape/vinyl/digital data. That Frank was a virtuoso I never doubted. There are flashes of that brilliance on all of his albums. He'southward an amazing, demanding composer and band leader, but having a whole album, like this, put his guitar playing on full display is rare and without incertitude an accented treasure. I am certainly grateful for Frank'due south obsession with recording and editing his concert tapes. The material is a fleck overwhelming just I'd rather have more to cull from than less. How lucky were these fans in Scandanavia?!

FORUM & SITE ADMIN Group Eclectic / Prog Metal / Heavy Prog Squad

The 2d volume of this 6 volume serial is the best of the gear up. It consists of the best performances of a 2-twenty-four hours, 3-bear witness concert far away in Helsinki, Finland. It is not 1 continuous concert equally many have idea, only it is culminated from those 3 shows on September 22 and 23, 1974. The working title of the collection was originally (and more accordingly) sub-titled "The Helsinki Tapes". However, the fact that the entire 2-disc collection is devoted to those shows merely proves the fact that Frank Zappa found them to be very well representative of his best concert work. He has stated that this particular line-up was his favorite considering the band worked together and played off of one another so well. I know it is my favorite line-up.

This is likewise my favorite volume of the set. It is very cohesive, most of the tracks are excellent and well produced. The starting time two tracks are not bad and piece of work well as a warm up of the band, but the music all of a sudden gets better by the time it hits one of my personal favorites "Inca Roads". The band hits their marker during this performance and it pretty much continues throughout both of the discs (except for the not so peachy version of "Cheepnis"....I think the band was probably ready for an suspension when they performed it). The ring plays tightly through all the crazy rhythms and improvisations and flows right into an early version of "RNDZL", which at the fourth dimension wasn't completely developed and hadn't been recorded on a studio version yet. Next, the ring double times the song "Village of the Sun" and speeds right through it at an amazing pace. The excitement and tightness of the band continues and it seems goose egg can become wrong at this point. Information technology's amazing how and then many musicians can work so well off of each other and a lot of this credit belongs to FZ and the way he would behave the ring with paw signals and how the ring knew exactly what he wanted from them. He always worked to let them show off their incredible talents and also gave plenty of time for his own guitar work to smoothen through. "Room Service" also appears here and had previously only been bachelor on "Dub Room Special". This version has a lot longer instrumental introduction than information technology did on "Dub Room" that proves this song to be a lot more complex than originally idea. It fifty-fifty gets funky in the starting time and morphs into the spoken word humour that eventually follows most halfway through the rail. Not but does this track show the improv on the instrumental sections, but demonstrates the one-act improv that was utilized in the shows to make each concert special. These extras were what FZ called "eyebrows" and he encouraged this do in all of his shows forth with audience participation. This kept performances exciting, unique and memorable.

The 2nd disc continues to exist exciting and top notch as they dive into "Guess" which is a very hard piece. The band starts out playing the theme on instruments, then they effort singing it with nonsense syllables, then they try playing it with their feet. After that chip of fun, they dive into the piece itself. This particular limerick ever varies in length and sound. FZ equanimous it so that there was a score for C and F instruments, another score for Eb and Bb instruments, a bass role and a pulsate role. The rhythms were basically the same beyond all parts. However, the tones were only suggestive in that instead of notes, everything was notated in range. The diverse performers could play any note in the range of notes that were on the score. Thus, you always got a dissimilar sounding operation each time, and that is why this piece e'er sounds so random. Once you sympathize what is going on here, the track makes a lot more sense. This is a great example of one of FZ'southward favorite styles of composition "Randomization".

Next is a 24 minute functioning of "Dupree'southward Paradise" which had not been recorded alive before this performance. At this betoken, this particular composition was only a basic framework, or a set of notes that comprised a short eight-note tune that was improvised upon by the band. This was some other example of how FZ let his musicians show off. The actual limerick was afterwards completed officially and became a total-blown orchestral piece which was debuted on "The Perfect Stranger" album. Zappa wanted this piece to represent a busy bar on Avalon Boulevard in Watts during a jam session and the fashion the customers in the bar are conversing with one another and separate from the remainder of the world. This version has a long drum and percussion solo that starts at the xiv infinitesimal mark that is excellent and does not wear out it'south welcome. The two tracks that start out this second disc are aught short of astonishing.

After this, the concert continues with a request of what I believe is some traditional song of sorts. The band had never heard the song and FZ comments that they accept to bring up the lights so that the ring can read the music. Holy cow, it is amazing how they can play this track and they had never seen it earlier. Then there are several short instrumental tracks that continue to amaze, these songs never get tiring because the band is and then great. Soon, some other asking is taken, the song "Whipping Mail" popularized by the Allman Brothers Ring. FZ doesn't know the song and jokes around with the audition member, only ends upwards incorporating new lyrics based on the vocal title into his ain "Montana" song and the entire band adjusts accordingly. This entire collection is FZ and ring at their top-notch all-time. There is the customary keen guitar solo at the end of "Montana" and this flows into a shortened version of what is usually a lengthy improvised vocal called "Big Swifty" (an viii minute version appears on Vol. 1 of this series). The band plays the 1st theme of the song and FZ closes the show.

This is an splendid representation of a FZ concert and should be considered ane of his all-time alive documents. As such, information technology is an essential masterpiece in his discography and a masterpiece of progressive music. It is ane affair that he equanimous these complex compositions, only to actually have a recording of a band that could play these compositions is simply amazing. This is how it is done folks. Dauntless, visionary, and elevation-notch musicianship equals a masterpiece of a live progressive performance. 5 stars.
