@SecretAgent068 'I'm curious why Amnerika isn't on The Yellow Shark'.The performance. Compare it with Amnerika Goes Home on Everything Is Healing Nicely, and you'll realize what I mean. This is next-to-impossible to play and it's a bit shaky here, and they recorded it and nailed it later, so I can see why no release of this one.
It's because it was NOT well played in the concerts. But in "everithing is healing nicely" you can heard it played by humans. In Civilization you can heard the computer version
@franciscoaquilea Yep I actually picked up Civilization Phaze III off of Amazon a few months ago. I had to pay quite a bit for it but it was well worth it. The packaging and artwork are stunning and of course the music speaks for itself.
amnerika is such an amazing piece, the way those notes jump from instrument to instrument...

It's so astounding how that melody in Amnerika is played by about seven different instruments, but it still sounds continuous.

I'm curious why Amnerika isn't on The Yellow Shark - still a great album regardless.

This (Amnerika) lacks the emotional feel of the original on CP III, but it's still amazing to see an orchestra attempt to pull it off anyway.

Zappa's studio version of "Amnerika" is the best one but this is not so bad ;-)

this piece of music is sublime. The original on the album is mind-bogglingly beautiful.
