Advantages: a brilliant 1974 concert with a top notch Zappa band
Disadvantages: not quite the whole gig and the instrumentals may be a little off putting to newcomers

...YCDTOSA volume 2 is culled from two concerts In Helsinki in 1974, expertly mixed together and presented as one complete set. The band included keyboard wizard George Duke, sax player and vocalist extraordinaire Napoleon Murphy Brock, Chester Thompson on drums (later to be in Genesis) Tom Fowler on bass and Ruth Underwood on all manner of percussion.

There’s a great wee quirky bit towards the end of the track, when Ginger (I assume) gets all deep-voiced and sounds like he’s doing an Iggy Pop impression (no bad thing in my book) and the whole thing takes on a new shape with Sam getting all deep and sultry…then it all gets quick again, then it slows down. I was all for checking the batteries, but being mains powered, my tape deck wasn’t at fault! The whole thing then becomes a tad surreal, as they appear to have Suzi Quattro’s band guesting on the opening to Track 4. I swear this is Devil Gate Drive…but where oh where has the short leather-clad one... Read review
