stoopid Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This box is great! Not my peak era of Zappa material, maybe I can snag it on eBay at some point. The reviews I read were mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Curious since you're a bigger fan than me and collecting these releases, what would you consider to be the best live release with his mid-70s lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Curious since you're a bigger fan than me and collecting these releases, what would you consider to be the best live release with his mid-70s lineup? not that you asked me but the Roxy box and Zappa in New York are exceptional. So many archival releases coming out and they are top notch a string of Halloween sets have been released and they come in completist and abridged versions. The shortened sets are a real good deal - you get a complete set list andat a very reasonable price Halloween '73Halloween '77Halloween '81 (later half of September scheduled release) highly recommended 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks Taurus, your input is most certainly welcome. :) I had the '78 Halloween DVD audio, it was a good disc but had a lot of 'filler'. While I agree/align with many of his political stances, never feel like that's the primary reason I tune in. There's a good bit of filler on the DVD audio. Anyway, I'll check out the Zappa in New York. I have the Roxy live show already, and agree it's good. He played live quite a bit during the 70s (and put out a shit ton of studio recordings), which is good for me since that's my favorite FZ era. But it also makes picking through the posthumous releases difficult. Edited September 21, 2020 by stoopid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roxy Performances from Dec. 1973.Zappa in New York, 1976 I agree these are the best ones. I don't have the new box for New York, yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self-Indulgence Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Got these two on my iPod now.

stoopid Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Especially if it snows over their carnage. Ended up going with the original In New York 2 CD set, and Chicago 1978. I couldn't justify the boxed set, not enough in the extras to justify the cost for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some even have the soundchecks. FZ liked to record everything when he was on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's turned out to be a good thing for us, but there's most definitely a limit to how much time I devote to FZ so I'm definitely no completist.
