Notes: Frank Zappa and The Grand Wazoo Orchestra (20 piece band - no vocals) September 23, 1972 afternoon show The Felt Forum New York City, USA The Grape's cassette master > 1st gen. mono reel at 7.5 ips speed. Decent sound quality - check the samples to get an idea of the quality for yourself. This show was not on the tracker and I thought I would post this version because I downloaded an inferior copy of this source that was lower quality, out of order and with other flaws including unverified lineage. disc 1 - 31:35 101 [00:54] applause > intro 102 [01:48] talk 103 [04:40] audience participation segment > soundchecks and band intros 104 [02:54] soundchecks and band intros continued 105 [14:52] Tony Duran intro > The Grand Wazoo 106 [01:29] talk 107 [04:58] Dog Meat [Dog Breath Variations - Uncle Meat medley] disc 2 - 60:07 201 [02:08] talk 202 [13:01] Big Swifty 203 [01:08] talk 204 [14:21] Approximate 205 [18:34] The Grand Wazoo Comic Book Extravaganza 206 [01:43] thanks and applause before encores encores: 207 [02:09] talk 208 [03:45] Penis Dimension > 209 [02:58] Regyptian Strut 210 [00:20] final thanks and applause The Grand Wazoo Orchestra, September 1972: Frank Zappa, Tony Duran, Jerry Kessler, Dave Parlato, Jim Gordon, Tom Raney, Ruth Underwood, Ian Underwood, Bruce Fowler, Malcolm McNabb, Tom Malone, Earle Dumler, Glenn Ferris, Sal Marquez, Ken Shroyer, Mike Altschul, Joanne McNabb, Jay Migliori, Ray Reed and Charles Owens.
