Keep it Greasy When this came on, within the first two or three seconds I said WOW! out loud (to no one in particular, as I was alone in the house). Maybe the fastest version I've heard, and Vinnie is just insane. Illinois Enema Bandit (never heard Zappa forget lyrics before!!!) That would be Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me, but yeah.. funny that he would forget words to a song he'd only sang about three billion times since 1975 or 76 :) Another nice thing I appreciated more today, upon second listen -- Ray White's vocal in the closing section of City of Tiny Lights.. very bluesy, very down 'n dirty, if you like. Awesome stuff. --Milhouse ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

It's pretty much what one would expect - very similar to the TTR version. The vocal sections of Easy Meat and Pick Me are similar but of course the solos are unique. Also, of course, Pick Me is the faster version all the way through. Tinseltown is a sort of rough draft version on Buffalo compared to the TTR version from almost two months later. I really enjoy the more straightforward rock arrangement of the main part of the tune, not that I don't also love the TTR album version (which I've only listened to about nineteen million times over the last 20 years, including today at work). --Milhouse ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
