The Mothers 1971 Disc 7

1 year ago
107

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.
Additionally, the box set recreates a concert from the June 1 and June 3 performances in Scranton and Harrisburg, PA (respectively), and presents the full Rainbow Theatre concert in London, England on December 10, 1971 when a "fan" attacked Zappa following the band's performance of The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The band had been playing that night with rented equipment, due to the tragic fire that engulfed the Montreux Casino on December 4 (and their instruments with it). Thankfully, Zappa and the Mothers emerged relatively unscathed, but more tragedy followed at the Rainbow less than one week later.
