The best single song I've ever heard. I was privileged to tell Mr. Zappa that at a venue in Athens, Georgia where, because sound system issues delayed the show to about 11 p.m. (most of the kids had gone)Zappa resorted to wandering about the dwindling audience. I called him Mr. Zappa. I gave him the fly leaf of a poli sci textbook I had brought with me to read whenever possible to autograph. That autograph hangs in my sound system cabinet.

I first saw Frank Zappa at the Prov Civic Cntr in May of 73 after John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orch. got of stage.
The bar was set pretty high but Frank delivered.
Somewhere along the line I thought it a good thing to see Frank when I could and I saw him often in those years of 73 to 77.
And that was his most accomplished group in my mind.
They had fun but they played the best.
Later in the 80's the band played well but seemed to just what to make fun.
I like the band that played the BEST.
