OK - Sorry for the delay, but I was listening to this disc and heard one edit

So, I'm ready to send this off - Guy, send me your address.

Like a tidal wave of total weirdness, the Mothers of Invention splashed down on 
the Fillmore West for a series of shows in November of 1970 before washing back 
into the seedy ocean of L.A., leaving the landscape forever changed (or at 
least confused and offended). 

Not to be outdone by the art school drop-outs and buck-skin fringe contingent 
then wandering the Sunset Strip, Frank Zappa had been steadily releasing 
incredibly strange records since the mid-‘60s. He abandoned the original 
Mothers at the close of that decade, only to reform a different line-up under 
the same name in 1970, this time including two members of the Turtles, Howard 
Kaylan and Mark Volman (sometimes known as Flo & Eddie due to contractual 
problems), to help with Frank’s increasingly bizarre comedy routines and, 
almost incidentally, singing.

The opening set by Boz Scaggs couldn’t possibly have prepared anyone for what 
was going to occur that night at the corner of Van Ness and Market, though it 
did prove that Bill Graham had a pretty good sense of humor. Eager to try out 
material from the upcoming 200 Motels film and accompanying album, the Mothers 
don’t move in any one direction for too long; sometimes it’s as if they’re 
moving in all directions at once. There are hints of jazz-fusion and 
psychedelia, along with Zappa’s beloved doo-wop. They even make a brief stab at 
the Turtles’ "Happy Together" as part of the groupie-baiting sleaze-fest 
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." This is a limber bunch, but they’re at their best when 
playing it straight ("Call Any Vegetable" from Absolutely Free is a prime 
example). Some songs are derailed by excessive hollering and dialogue, the 
delivery of which suggests the performers are nearly as bored as the audience 
they’re baffling. Provoking the crowd, however, is part of the plan and 
listening to Frank scold them for their indifference is highly satisfying for 
anyone who’s ever stood under stage lights. 

An appreciation for this performance depends entirely on one’s threshold for 
long and noodly instrumental explorations accented by dick jokes. But it can 
safely be said that no one else was doing anything quite like this at the time. 
During an age of weird, Frank Zappa had the distinction of being the 
unparalleled weirdest.

I have to track this down now. Is the 4cd set as great as what 
everyone was hoping? I also heard about the 2 disc set having some 
songs not on the 4 disc set. Is there a track list for these?

[Zappa-List] New Vine Open: 200 Motels DVD {New Source, Synch}

2007-01-01 Thread forbin_99
HAPPY ZAPPA NEW YEAR!!! [and god bless us everyone] I just got this 
from demonoid recently and figured some of you would enjoy a new 
source. 

(original notes)...

Why hasn't this ever been released on DVD? I wondered that myself! 
So I took it upon myself to fill this gap and you sse the results 
here. This is ripped from a commercial VHS tape and then I synched 
the parts of the OST (thanks Wazoo!) that matched the film's 
soundtrack. I kept everything at highest quality possible and I must 
admit everything came out better than I expected.

Linage:

Commercial VHS cassette MGM/UA M200423 > (video) Hauppage WinTV 
composite in (audio) Creative Audidgy 2 in @ 48kHz 16 > Sony Vegas 
6.0 capture utility > .avi file, highest bitrate > Vegas 6.0 for 
editing and audio synch > DVD Architect 3.0 > DVD Files.

This was previously seeded at Pedro's.

Enjoy.  -McGrupp2000


Notes:

This DVD is comprised from 2 sources; first the commercially 
released VHS and the original soundtrack that was released by Rhino. 
It is interesting to note that the soundtrack does not contain 
everything that was on the film and vice versa. Mystery Roach is the 
most notable example as the version is different in the film than 
that on the OST. Also some songs that are complete on the OST are 
only partialy used in the film. I tried to match up what I could.

Attributes:

NTSC 29.97 fps
Region Free
Bitrate 5.760 Mbps
AC3 audio @ 384 kbps 48000Hz


I haven't even seen it so I can't speak for the quality but I 
figured it being the new year (HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!) and me being semi-
inebriated I'd post it anyway. Who wants it? After all, who doesn't 
love a suprise?

Addy & promise.
