The Mothers 1971 Disc 2

In a masterstroke of understatement, Frank Zappa and The Mothers proclaimed themselves to be Just Another Band from L.A. on a 1972 album of the same title. Of course, The Mothers were never just another band, but this particular iteration - featuring former Turtles vocalists Flo and Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) and bassist Jim Pons, drummer Aynsley Dunbar, keyboardist Don Preston, and multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood - was one of the most memorable of the band's existence. This line-up recorded a pair of acclaimed live albums (the U.S. top 40 album Fillmore East - June 1971 and the aforementioned Just Another Band from L.A.), and famously jammed with John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the Fillmore stage, a set that ended up on their Some Time in New York City double album. But this version of the Mothers came to an unceremonious end on December 10, 1971 in London, England, concluding a tragic week that left the Montreux Casino in ashes, Zappa seriously injured, and Deep Purple with the hit record "Smoke on the Water."
The 100-track, nearly 10-hour The Mothers 1971, produced by Ahmet Zappa and "Vaultmeister" Joe Travers, presents each and every note of all four shows played at NYC's beloved Fillmore East on June 5-6, 1971, including the full jam session with John and Yoko. (The concerts were among the closing acts at the historic venue; it closed permanently on June 27. Today, a bank sits in its place.) It marks the very first time the complete Fillmore East concerts have been released in unedited form.
