Release Information

This release is a limited 8xCD boxset compiled by the The Zappa Trust to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mothers Of Invention’s 1971 line-ups.

The complete Fillmore East tapes are showcased with every note played over 4 shows, including the John Lennon/Yoko Ono encore (the majority of tracks are newly mixed). Additionally, a new mix of the full concert from the Rainbow Theatre in London where Frank Zappa was infamously pushed off the stage appears, plus a bonus hybrid concert from Harrisburg and Scranton, PA 1971.

The package includes a 68-page booklet showcasing an interview with Ian Underwood by Ahmet Zappa and liner notes from Eddie Kramer, Jim Pons (FZ’s then bass player) and Vaultmeister Joe Travers.
