A token of his extreme

"På denne dvd-udgivelse er den gakkede guitarist fanget på et heldigt tidspunkt i karrieren, flankeret af et Mothers med George Duke og Napoleon Murphy Brock i centrale roller, for eksempel i en særdeles funky Room Service. "Et af de fineste stykker video-arbejde, noget menneske nogensinde har lavet", har Zappa kaldt filmen ... Det er måske nok en mild overdrivelse, men det er stadig fremragende - hvilket iøvrigt også kan siges om ekstramaterialets optagelse fra Mike Douglas Show i '76, hvor vi møder en snakkesalig og skarp Zappa i byen for at promovere (...) Zoot Allures".

"Zappa himself was at one of the many peaks in his guitar playing, looking and sounding relaxed with this unit. Here, he's a member of the band almost more than he is the leader, a balance he didn't always strike with later lineups ... The extras include a discography and videography, but the Mike Douglas Show performance of "Black Napkins" (while Zappa was promoting 1976's Zoot Allures) is priceless".
