He abandoned the original Mothers at the close of that decade, only
to reform a different line-up under the same name in 1970, this time
including two members of the Turtles, Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman
(sometimes known as Flo & Eddie due to contractual problems), to help
with Frankâ?Ts increasingly bizarre comedy routines and, almost
incidentally, singing.

anyone for what was going to occur that night at the corner of Van
Ness and Market, though it did prove that Bill Graham had a pretty
good sense of humor. Eager to try out material from the upcoming 200
Motels film and accompanying album, the Mothers donâ?Tt move in any
one direction for too long; sometimes itâ?Ts as if theyâ?Tre moving
in all directions at once. There are hints of jazz-fusion and
psychedelia, along with Zappaâ?Ts beloved doo-wop. They even make a
brief stab at the Turtlesâ?T "Happy Together" as part of the groupie-
baiting sleaze-fest "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." This is a limber bunch,
but theyâ?Tre at their best when playing it straight ("Call Any
Vegetable" from Absolutely Free is a prime example). Some songs are
derailed by excessive hollering and dialogue, the delivery of which
suggests the performers are nearly as bored as the audience theyâ?Tre
baffling. Provoking the crowd, however, is part of the plan and
listening to Frank scold them for their indifference is highly
satisfying for anyone whoâ?Ts ever stood under stage lights.

RE: [Zappa-List] Re: Wolfgang's Vault
They say downloads are coming but some details still need worked out. It also says they've transferred the well preserved tapes to the highest quality digital formats. I can only hope they will offer downloads in flac or an equivalent format then. I can't find the Zappa concert today so I guess it rotated out. I'm listening to a Black Sabbath concert from 1975 just now. Brings back some old memories cause I always went to see them back then when they came to town back then. Anyway I'm hopeful that downloads of a few Zappa shows among others will be available soon.
