More problems: Howard & Mark were lead vocalists (see Mothers: Fillmore East - June 1971) during their tenure in the Mothers. By the next month, the band on the "Fillmore" tour was:
Mark Volman : Vocals Howard Kaylan : Vocals Ian Underwood : Winds & Keyboard & Vocals Aynsley Dunbar : Drums Jim Pons : Bass, Vocals (replacing Martin Lickert, who replaced Jeff Simmons) Bob Harris : Keyboard, Vocals (apparently replacing George Duke) Just read an interview with Pons (from 2000) where he says he replaced Jeff Simmons (who was fired in England, during the filming of 200 Motels), after the band came back to the States. It seems impossible that they were ever in the band at the same time (especially since Martin Lickert was in between the 2, as bassist in 200 Motels). So apparently Flo & Eddie were in the Mothers first. Finally! found a reference as to when 200 Motels was shot - Pinewood Studios, London, UK January 28-February 5, 1971, Jeff Simmons was long gone on May 21. How about this as the re-redo: 1971 – Frank Zappa and The Mothers - consisting of Aynsley Dunbar, George Duke, Ian Underwood, with former Turtles Jim Pons on bass, and Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman providing vocals as The Phlorescent Leach & Eddie - appear at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago.
