Notes: Frank Zappa 1973-03-11 Texas Hall UTA Arlington Texas (Gesture of Contempt) (T-34) from the original analog tapes. Band Members: Frank Zappa - Jean-Luc Ponty - Bruce Fowler - Ian Underwood - Tom Fowler - Ruth Underwood - George Duke - Ralph Humphrey I'm the guy who recorded this show. I have the original analog cassette tapes of it. Over the years I have traded analog tape copies but until now have never done a digital transfer of it. This is the first and only time it has been digitally transferred from the original analog cassette tapes. The bonus material is from UG at what used to be the Zappa Archives (ZARK). Section B is a little left of center and Row C is the 3rd row from the stage. Mics: Sony ECM 19B > Recorder: Realistic SCT-7 Stereo Cassette Recorder > Tape: Maxell Ultra Dynamic C-90 cassettes the Original Analog Cassette Tapes > Playback Deck: Tascam 130 > Nikko 32 Band EQ > Akai DR16 Digital Hard Disk Recorder > Sony PCM-R500 DAT Recorder > Sony DAT Tape > HHB CDR-800 Compact Disc Recorder > HHB CDR > WAV > SHN I have also done the artwork for this version of this show. Pictures taken the night of the show by D. Knarr. I really have never liked the practice of giving titles to live shows but I understand one of the reasons people do it is to distinguish between different versions of the same show. I felt like I needed to give this one a title due to the other inferior versions that exist. Please keep the artwork and text file, unaltered, together with the SHN's. Disc 1 1. (intro and tune up) 2. RDNZL 3. Exercise 4 / Dog Breath / The Dog Breath Variations / Uncle Meat 4. Fifty-Fifty 5. (deviation explaination) 6. Ralph Deviates First (with audience participation including the imaginary diseases of the future story) 7. Inca Roads 8. Montana 9. George Duke's Solo 10.

For Trade or Give Away only - Do not Sell - Do not encode as MP3 Comments In comment #235648 MKtrading wrote something like this: Thanks for the seed, carville!!! Would I be out of line to ask you for an approximate quality rating? I don't want to seem picky or ungrateful, it's just that my collection's getting too big, and I promised myself I wouldn't grab any more Zappas that weren't an A- or better. Gotta enforce some discipline somewhere, ya know? From your description, it sounds A-ish but I figured I should ask, if it's not a bother. thanks!!! Ron Moses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, for me it's a no brainer. It's a master recording from up close(within the 1st 8 rows...you'll know why I say that when you hear it), with decent equipment...and there aren't that many Zappa masters openly circulating.
