Frank Zappa
September 2nd, 1973
Mehrzweckhalle
Zürich, Switzerland


Yet another winner from Europe 73. For some reason, Tom Fowler's basswork really stands out tonight - dig his work in the "improvisation" track! That improvisation is possibly the highlight of the night, though a thirty minute Dupree's Paradise gives it a run for its money, and Cosmik Debris and Montana are both in their peaks of relevance. So much to enjoy, so little to criticize... so enjoy, won't you?
