These concerts from the '88 tour the big mustache divided into three releases: the unreleased tracks in "Broadway the Hard Way", the instrumentals in "Make Jazz Noise Here", and the classic Zappa songs and various covers in this one with the best band we would never hear again. The title expresses not irony but the anger of the big mustache because he was convinced he had a great band in hand, and he had to disband it after the tour in Europe and before the second part of the scheduled concerts in the USA due to the internal disagreements that were discussed regarding the review of "Broadway the Hard Way."

I haven't seen it, but I read the text and a few comments, "well executed homework but without soul." Well, I think the well-executed homework to present to the teacher is something else on Debaser. Here, as an Alberto Sordi/Marquis del Grillo would say (Monicelli docet)... here there's more soul than your dead relatives.

It’s a shame… the bionic metalheads of the old days are no more…

hahahaha kosmo, I think the mustache was as ugly as sin but at least it made the women enjoy themselves, just listen to the moans in "Dinah-Moe Humm" (where Frankie realizes that Dinah needs to see him fuck her sister to enjoy) or in "Crew Slut" :)))) Or do you prefer the pretty boys like Robbie Williams?

I find it quite amusing this idea of rewarding the courage of the reviewer for actually saying what they think, as if we were all just brown-nosing employees forced to watch "The Battleship Potemkin" once again in front of our cinephile boss. The fact is that here we are all just nicknames; no one will fire us if we speak our minds, and no one will spit in our eye when they see us in the stairwell of the apartment building. Having said all that, this idea of rewarding the courage of the reviewer naicchename is nonsense to me; if the reviewer says (for me) nonsense, they can have all the courage they want... but to me, it remains nonsense that doesn't deserve appreciation.

It sounds like the question asked during the job interview with Virgil (Woody Allen) in "Take the Money and Run" (1969). Examiner: "Have you ever used a computer?" Virgil: "Yes, I’ve used one." Examiner: "And where exactly?" Virgil: "My aunt had one at her home."

It’s understandable that you might think the album is garbage, but the immaturity that Vortex mentioned in comment 70 lies in the statement, “whoever has listened to Zappa's records from the '60s has already heard all of this, and done it much better. If krautrock is the first album by Faust, then krautrock is simply a synonym for Frank Zappa.” In my opinion, you haven’t grasped much about Zappa and krautrock.

Oh, but there are many other great groups to mention in this anthology, such as the incredible Australians Masters Apprentices (featured here with the B-side of the incendiary '66 single "Undecided") and the Missing Links with the garage anthem "You're Drivin Me Insane," the psychedelic samba of the Brazilians Os Mutantes, and slightly more beat pieces from the very talented Blossom Toes and the Small Faces with the great Steve Marriot on vocals.
