Frank Zappa

Deutschlandhalle, Berlin, Germany

Quality A

Ripped by jaypfunk, from my very, very low gen cassette tape.

SBD> Very Low Gen (maybe 2nd gen) Maxell XLII 90min tapes> Kenwood KX-W8020 Cassette Deck> Sound Blaster Awe32 PC Soundcard> Recorded To WAV And Edited With Cool Edit Pro> WAV Files Split with CDWave> FLAC

No noise reduction or hiss removal!

Speed/pitch corrected by Boguspomp. Everything else is left intact.


* BTW, the boot still available everywhere and which cover was posted the other day, was made possible by me in 1993 with a 4th gen tape.
CD 1 one of that Boot is ok, as it came from forementioned tape onto DAT > CD.
CD 2 is not ok, as it came from tape onto DAT - but as the police got hold of the DATs,
some tape's made from the DAT's were use for the CD's. Thats why they are in 2 big files and sound so bad !
So forget about them boots and enjoy this great version of a great show !

Here's the story:
I was on vacation in L.A. in 1990 and spent some time visiting with and finally meeting a couple of my tape trader friends out there, Tom Brown and Gerry Fialka.
So there I was in Venice Beach at the house of the one and only Tom Brown who at the time worked for Rhino Records, was the drummer for Zoogz Rift and consultant for the Beat The Boots project at Rhino. We were there hanging out in his room swapping stories about our memrobilia collections and he's showing me his FZ collection. He had the show playing on the stereo and it didn't dawn on me to ask what show it was.
This was long before the SBD version of this show was "leaked" out in the tape trader circuit. Anyway we are sitting there talking and all of a sudden out of nowhere comes the RAT TOMAGO section of TTNS. I nearly shit my pants!! I was like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOM???" hahahahaha Of course I got my copy of those damn tapes before I left! Tom was a close friend of Tommy Mars and mentioned that this tape came from Tommy so the gen I have is very low and could be a 2nd gen.
Tom Brown is one cool mother fucker and one of the biggest collectors of all things FZ. Tom also gave me his extra copy of the "Bongo Fury" promo poster too. What a great guy he is! It's a damn shame what those scum bags did to him over at Rhino.
