• Track Listing

In December 1973, Zappa and his Mothers and their collective virtuosity thrilled crowds at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip with five shows in three nights. This new 7-CD set presents those five shows in complete form for the first time—including one that was an invite-only performance that doubled as a soundcheck and film shoot. You’ll also hear rare rehearsal recordings, unissued tracks and highlights from the Bolic Studios recording session that took place in conjunction with the filming dates. This was all remixed in 2016 (from new 96k/24-bit transfers of the multi-track masters): nearly eight hours of prime-period live Zappa plus a 48-page booklet with photos from the concerts and extensive liner notes including firsthand recollections of the shows and archival press reviews. George Duke, Chester Thompson, Tom and Bruce Fowler and Ralph Humphrey are among Zappa’s partners-in-crime on "Cosmik Debris," "The Idiot Bastard Son," "Penguin in Bondage," "Uncle Meat," "Montana," "Inca Roads," "Village of the Sun," "Don’t You Ever Wash That Thing?," "Big Swifty," "Cheepnis," "Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow," "Nanook Rubs It," "Orgy, Orgy" and more!
