Can you spot the differences?

Well thanks for posting this!.. I never realized that Rat Tomago was a lifted solo from another song (although, come to think of it, he did this all the time, didn't he?)... and from 'The Torture Never Stops', no less!

Is this from the YCDTOSA series?

[timmo1782]

@elbay2 yeah he did this a lot, take live solos and put them on record, especially from the mid-70s onwards. No this isn't on the Stage series, it's from an audience field recording!

[elbay2]

@timmo1782 An audience field recording? The sound quality is quite good! Did you do this?

[timmo1782]

@elbay2 i wish! was born too late to see the great man play live :(

[leifjellow]

stupid me!!

[timmo1782]

@leifjellow hate to be pedantic (love it really.. muhahaha), but it's from 'the torture never stops'!

Rock and roll the way it should be. Loud, raw and oozing with soul. Thanks Frank, we miss ya.

So incredibly inventive. Bluesey and yet totally original.. Zappa was an absolute master at searching while he played.. I nevee get bored of this. The 3 people who disliked this must be Justin Bieber fans... "turn it off mommyyy!!!!

@davidphilipsmusic I totally agree and give 100 thumbs up for each jerk which disliked Zappa's music. I do not understand how or why anyone goes to a place that does not like ... and still has the audacity to go out there badmouthing. I've never watched a video of Justin Bieber nor intend to, but I respect the artist and I will not give him a dislike. I wonder if those thumbs down couldn't mean that he (she) disliked the version of music or the quality of upload or something like this...
