Search - Frank Zappa :: Does Humor Belong

One of his best live discs

"This was the second FZ album I ever owned (and the first one I got on CD), and it remains one of my favorites. It has funny songs ("Penguin in Bondage"), and it has killer instrumentals (such as "Let's Move To Cleveland"). I love the version of "Whipping Post" on here, too. There's not a weak track on this album. My favorite track is "What's New In Baltimore?" It contains what may be my favorite Zappa guitar solo ever. Great stuff. I really like Chad Wackerman's drumming throughout the album, too. This album is essential material for FZ fans.

Lets Move To Cleveland's best outing!

"This is a great cd. I think FZ put it together so tight in an effort to make some good light come out of the 84 band ensemble. This particular lineup did not have the best sound, and it shows on a lot of the live recordings from the era... and considering it followed the classic lineup of 82-83, it was falling into some tough competition. But frank found some wonderful performances to bolster this great lineup. Well worth your time, and frank guitar playing is totally powerful, if not totally brilliant.



There is a DVD release of this concert, but songs are missing. Still, even though it is released by EMI and has been edited as not to offend someone (C@cksuckers B@ll removed)it is still worth purchasing because the music is fun to watch and listen to.



Give it a try."
