Frank Zappa & The Mothers - Carnegie Hall (1971) 4CD (2010)

Frank Zappa Invades Carnegie Hall, 1971:

“Carnegie Hall 1971”: The complete 7:30 and 11 p.m. shows in this box were recorded by the leader in mono with a single microphone and concealed tape machine (probably to avoid union hassles).
The fidelity is remarkably clear and full-bodied, even with the inevitable room echo.

Half of the first disc goes to an opening set by the Persuasions, the a cappella do-wop masters recently discovered and recorded by Zappa.

This is also a rare chance to hear the "Flo and Eddie" Mothers' full range of operatic lunacy and underrated small-combo instrumental drive.
An LP-sized dose, “Fillmore East – June 1971”, had been issued shortly before these concerts; another, 1972's “Just Another Band from L.A.”, had just been taped.

“Carnegie Hall” marked Zappa's first and last night on that stage. He never left the building.
