The SBD is used up through 8:58 into Pound For A Brown, from there
on it's from an Aud tape of unknown generation, with a whole lot of
compression on it. Throughout the board recording, the levels are
very high, and clipped peaks are in abundance. Strangely enough, I'm
not sure this has harmed the sound quality, which is among the best
you'll ever hear on a Zappa boot. This version doesn't have any of
the problems that previously circulating copies had.

This is a show I had lying around on my HD, and since it sounds so
good, and I don't think it's that common, I decided to seed it. The
concert itself is not that remarkable, mainly because Frank only
plays 4 solos, one of which is only 38 seconds long. I've heard that
FZ was sick for Halloween this year, maybe that's one reason.
Nevertheless, I think this recording presents great versions of the
YAWYI material, played with a lot of energy. Enjoy!

Q&C notes
I've listen to this show many times but I was not able to detect the
tape flip!
Cuts are before the two encores.
I kept the cds original tracking except that I removed the fade-
in/fade-out
beetween Stevie's Spanking and Cocaine Decisions and I've separated
audience from Bobby Brown in the first encore.
Sounds a little dry to me, expecially in some parts,
but you can get very good results (B+) with some EQ on your playback
system.
Strange changes in sound are there near the end of Easy Meat, at
6:25,
at the very end of Bamboozled by love (could be here the tape flip?)
and during the band introduction at the end of Strictly Genteel.

The SBD is used up through 8:58 into Pound For A Brown, from there
on it's from an Aud tape of unknown generation, with a whole lot of
compression on it. Throughout the board recording, the levels are
very high, and clipped peaks are in abundance. Strangely enough, I'm
not sure this has harmed the sound quality, which is among the best
you'll ever hear on a Zappa boot. This version doesn't have any of
the problems that previously circulating copies had.

This is a show I had lying around on my HD, and since it sounds so
good, and I don't think it's that common, I decided to seed it. The
concert itself is not that remarkable, mainly because Frank only
plays 4 solos, one of which is only 38 seconds long. I've heard that
FZ was sick for Halloween this year, maybe that's one reason.
Nevertheless, I think this recording presents great versions of the
YAWYI material, played with a lot of energy. Enjoy!

Q&C notes
I've listen to this show many times but I was not able to detect the
tape flip!
Cuts are before the two encores.
I kept the cds original tracking except that I removed the fade-
in/fade-out
beetween Stevie's Spanking and Cocaine Decisions and I've separated
audience from Bobby Brown in the first encore.
Sounds a little dry to me, expecially in some parts,
but you can get very good results (B+) with some EQ on your playback
system.
Strange changes in sound are there near the end of Easy Meat, at
6:25,
at the very end of Bamboozled by love (could be here the tape flip?)
and during the band introduction at the end of Strictly Genteel.
