1973 cork back in bottle.

Because it's just been re-released (and it's very good)



And a segue

[Twiggster]

Just cos I can - a little interlude! Zappa blast from the past. I MEAN the past!



This is freaking brilliant! Genius Zappa

Great show from these boys last night, despite the antics of the beer throwing morons there.

Why are these idiots allowed to do this ?

Any other show/event they would chucked them out on their ear

After the delay the security were watching and did throw out a couple, but they would have been more effective if they had stood in pairs throughout the arena rather than all standing in one area.

It's a Norwegian/Scandinavian/German thing at gigs, if the crowd like you. Absolutely normal here and is a sign of appreciation. Mind you - if you are on tour with a limited amount of clothing, washerettes are a necessity. :mrgreen:

That wasn't the problem,15 minutes into the set a few idiots bombarded the lighting/sound engineers with beer consequently some going on their equipment and causing the show to be stopped for around 15 minutes as it shorted the sound system, was amazed that they got it sorted in such little time.

Once played a gig in Holland and some tw@t threw beer in my face while I was singing and I got an moderate electric shock from the badly earthed microphone, right in my mouth! Had to take a break until I got some feeling back in my lips and tongue.
Beer thrown over me, ok - but not over my mic......

Much as I love albums, I really miss this:



If I ever get rich ( ), I will buy an old jukebox to put my dozens of remaining 45's on!

[Gino 1959]

People carrying albums around school an abiding memory.

Usually hippies!

Once one of the worlds great bands

Interesting new band , a nice bit of variation on the album.

Nick, you may like this mate, a touch of Jane's.

Just seen the cover of the latest "Rolling Stone" mag features one of the Boston bomber terrorists!
Totally disgusting and I hope it will be withdrawn ASAP.

Sometimes they get carried away. Remember the Charles Manson cover?
