Frank Zappa - Road Tapes #1 (2012) 2CD (Vancouver, 1968)

“Road Tapes, Venue #1” (2012), recorded in August 1968 at Vancouver’s Kerrisdale Arena, captures the wry Frank Zappa and his freewheeling Mothers of Invention as they "make an earnest attempt to rock out at the local electric ice box"
- and succeed handily by effortlessly blending rock, avant-garde, doo-wop and more into a typically freewheeling and unhinged 88-minute set.
Great show.
