The Illinois Enema Bandit * * zappa on lead vocals! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- the following review was borrowed from> http://zappastuff.iwarp.com/f77rvw1.htm#sep23 September 23rd, 1977 An average fall '77 show in above-average sound, well that's enough to make this reporter's mouth to water. Everything on this tape ranges between good and awesome: the less interesting vocal songs sound fine because of the inspired and energetic musicianship, and the jams are more or less great because of...well, the inspired and energetic musicianship. Peaches is nice as always, and Torture brings us the first guitar solo of the evening. A very good solo - the first, echo-plexed half sets a sad mood, which is transformed into anger in the second half. Patrick delivers some of his characteristic fills in unexpected places. This is one of the best tours for the City Of Tiny Lights/Pound For A Brown combo, and this show provides an excellent example. COTL comes with a O'Hearn solo, but Bozzio almost makes into a solo spot for himself too. The interplay between these two makes this a very memorable jam, and has also a great part in the following Pound improvs. Tommy has his usual, nice little synth orgy, which is followed by a FZ solo. Here, Ed has joined the rhythm section, and the outcome is great. A long, funky solo, one of the highlights of the show. FZ does a little preamble to Flakes, has some extended dialogue with Adrian, and adds some guitar fills in the Dylan part. Good versions of Envelopes and Disco Boy, before it's time for the wonderful L?ther/Wild Love. Good solos in L?ther, but the keyboards (especially Peter's) should have gotten more time if you ask me. And then Wild Love...this song would keep growing over the course of the tour, but already at this early stage, it's really great. Terry, Patrick and Ed whip out a speedy "samba" beat, that's absolutely terrific, and on top of this, Tommy and Peter play one great solo each. Then Adrian's typical e-bow solo, which sounds more violin-like than ever tonight. After this mini-monster, the band continue with a strong suite of more regular songs. Titties 'n Beer has one of the more entertaining FZ/Bozzio dialogues I've heard. As we've noticed before, Frank is in a good mood , and keeps cracking up the poor devil, who doesn't seem particularly dangerous tonight. Black Page has grown much tighter over the first two weeks of the tour, and Jones Crusher grooves nicely (unfortunately it doesn't lead into a jam as it did the previous tour). Punky's Whips is missing on my copy, so instead we move right into the final encore - The Illinois Enema Bandit. Quite a surprising choice, and highly appreciated by the Illinoi Enema Bandit. The song itself lacks a lot of power as Frank sings it, but it spawns two good guitar solos, one by Adrian and one by FZ. Definitely a show worth having. --JN - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- this show came to me two years ago from a trader in england. - this is not from an mp3 source. enjoy -
