This is weird music, man.  Actually it's the lyrics and the style they're sang that's odd.  The music itself is often top notch, kick ass, tightly well played.  And new to me.  I've loved and listened to rock and roll all my life, well, since I was like 8-ish, since the very launch of MTV (back when it was relevant, when they actually had something to do with music!)  I grew up listening to one of the best rock and roll radio stations on the planet -- WNEW-FM in New York City.  But I never really listened to Frank Zappa.  That's whose music is being played here, right?  Ha ha, yes, of course it is.  Interestingly I got into Dweezil Zappa when he released albums in the 80's, but never Frank.  I have started downloading his albums with the intent of listening to his whole catalog in order but haven't really gotten to it yet.  So listening to this is kinda sorta expanding my musical horizons.  It is.  And my impression of it -- weird.  But good.  And since I never really listened to Frank, there's nothing for me to compare to which is probably a great thing, I get to just take it as it is!  As far as the sound quality of the recording -- at times it sounds like a soundboard.  Super impressive as the instruments come in so clearly, so distinctly.  Vocals, too.  The crowd noise isn't terrible but when Dweezil's talkin' to the crowd, you do gotta turn it up and be a little aware of the the volume as a few people wanna shout something back at him or the sound at that point is a little low so might actually wanna turn it up to hear him better.  Overall, an excellent recording and as far as auds go, I'm going (low) A+ on this one, about a 9.7 out of 10.
