Descriere

6. October 1968:
Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention pay a long overdue visit to the legendary Beat Club and Radio Bremen. Testimony to this historic event, filmed in black and white, is a live happening that shows the band from its very own side: Absolutely Free!

Nevertheless, nothing is left to chance in the performance with its pronounced jam character. Maestro Zappa leads through the Mothers' best-known songs, including improvised versions of "King Kong," "A Pound For A Brown Bus," "Sleeping In A Jar" and "Uncle Meat" from the album of the same name, which had already been recorded at the time of the session but was not to be released until April 1969.
Also included in the set are an instrumental version of "Let's Make The Water Turn Black" from the 1968 "We're Only In It For TheMoney" album and an early version of "Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask" from the 1970 "Uncle Meat" follow-up "Weasels Ripped My Flesh."

With the third act of Wagner's Lohengrin and especially "Octandre" by Zappa's idol Edgar Varèse, the end of the session even anticipates Frank Zappas' later classical phase.
