"Emerging from the L.A. R 'n' B scene during 1964, Frank Zappa's first wave Mothers Of Invention signed to Verve Records in 1966, the same year their debut album, Freak Out, was released. Followed by a string of eclectic, experimental, critically acclaimed records, Zappa disbanded the group in 1969. During this first incarnation, MOI toured frequently both at home and overseas, with many of their most interesting performances recorded for FM radio broadcast. This set brings together a number of these recordings with Disc One featuring Mothers shows at Stockholm in 1967 and New York in 1968. Disc Two includes their show given in Toronto in February 1969, just prior to the initial line-up's demise. Disc Three of this collection finds the Mother Of Invention Mark II performing at The Fillmore West in San Francisco in November 1970."

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, live at the Fillmore West, San Francisco on November 6th, 1970. In late 1970s Frank Zappa resumed touring with a reformed Mothers, including former Turtles Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, and a stage show involving provocative comedy routines alongside typically complex music. Originally broadcast on KSAN-FM, this superb show performed at the Fillmore West, San Francisco on November 6th, 1970, features material from the forthcoming 200 Motels (1971), older songs, jazz fusion, touches of Zappa's beloved doo-wop, and much more. With plenty of ingenious musical flourishes, and rabble-rousing audience interactions, this historic gig is a must for Zappa fans. The entire KSAN-FM broadcast is presented here with background notes and images.

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, live at the Rockpile, Toronto, February 23rd, 1969. The Rockpile was Toronto's hippest club, and 4,000 of the city's hippest heads flocked there on February 23rd, 1969 to see the great Frank Zappa and his Mothers Of Invention. They did not disappoint, playing a remarkable set that combined their uniquely skewed take on rock n' roll with virtuoso solos and improvisations, as well as their trademark humorous interludes. Originally broadcast on CBC-FM, the entire broadcast is presented here, digitally remastered, with background notes and images.
