Frank Zappa

New release upcoming, some 1980 tour stuff. This is a boring tour AFAIAC but check this solo out:

I don’t think the tour was all that boring, particularly the Amsterdam concert that was broadcast and appears on various bootlegs. I got a laugh out of the tv theme quoted at the end of “Ms. Pinky.” But some of the material recorded in that era was pretty bad, especially “Dumb All Over” and the forgettable “Jazz Discharge Party Hats.”

His studio stuff after the mid 70's was totally useless for me. The live stuff still had a lot of great guitar up to the end.
