Customer Reviews The third guitar album It's all live and taken from actual songs. This is an album of guitar solos. The songs segue, but they're not separated with bits of musique concrete or dialogue like the "Shut up 'n play yer guitar" album. This is like the "Guitar" album. It's over an hour long, and the solos are mostly different. It emphasizes on the 1988 tour. Many say that tour wasn't very good for his solos, because he hadn't played live for 3 years since the last tour, which ended in December 1984. This one started in February 1988. This is exactly where the solos were taken from. 1. Chunga's Revenge - 4/18/1988 featuring Dweezil. 2. Bowling on Charen - 10/28/1977 (early show), solo from "Wild Love". 3. Good Lobna - 12/4/1984, solo from "Let's move to Cleveland". 4. A cold dark matter - 3/18/1988, solo from "Inca roads". 5. Butter or cannons - 8/25/1984, solo from "Let's move to cleveland". 6. Ask Dr. Stupid - 3/21/1979, solo from "Easy meat". 7. Scratch & Sniff - 4/16/1988, solo from "City of tiny lights". 8. Trance-Fusion - 5/24/1988, solo from "Marque-son's chicken". 9. Gorgo - 5/1/1988, solo from "The torture never stops". 10. Diplodocus - 10/26/1984, solo from "King Kong". 11. Soul Polka - 3/19/1988, solo from "Oh No". 12. For Guiseppe Franco - 12/17/1984, solo from "Hot plate heaven at the green hotel. " 13. After Dinner smoker - 6/9/1988, solo from "The torture never stops". 14. Light is all that matters - 12/17/1984, solo from "Let's move to cleveland". 15. Finding Higgs' Boson - 5/8/1988, solo from "Hot plate heaven at the green hotel. " 16. Bavarian Sunset - 5/9/1988, featuring Dweezil, solo from a post "I'm the walrus" jam. This is the third guitar solo album Zappa planned to release. What you hear here is what he himself compiled, sequenced, segued, and produced. He had this record done while he was still alive and the track titles are his. It's just that it took over ten years for it to finally come out. So you should know that this isn't some post-humous release put together by someone who isn't Frank Zappa himself. The solos themselves are all good, some more memorable than others, but overall the playing is complex full of non-eastern scales, and not your usual pentatonic runs up and down the fret. Shows Zappa's virtuosity, which he denied. Recommended along with the other two guitar albums.
Excellent!
