This Friday’s Boot is a cool show from the Grand Wazoo era: Hollywood Bowl, 10 September 1972. Not complete from the looks of it, but enjoy anyway…

Wow. Now your talking. This is just the period when I was getting into Frank and the band. I’m still trying to figure out “Think It Over”. It sounds very familiar, is it “Waka Jawaka”?
Think It Over is an earlier title of a tune that would later that year be released as the title track of The Grand Wazoo, see http://www.globalia.net/donlope/fz/songs/Grand_Wazoo.html
Lovely New Brown Clouds! very fond of that, as I am of ‘Rollo’ of the Y.S suite. I must just like funny end bits of big tunes.
(by the way, does anyone know why Rollo wasn’t on apostrophe?)
Rollo was recorded in the middle of St. Alphonzo’s Pancake Breakfast as the instrumental passage, which Ruth identified as “Rollo Interior.” There’s a YouTube video of her playing it as part of “The Making of Overnite Sensation & Apostrophe.” FZ may have cut Rollo from the end the YS suite because of the LP pressing technology; the shorter a side, the more room for the grooves, and the greater the fidelity.
Why oh why doesn’t ZPT release music from this tour in high fidelity? This show is incredible!
