"Thematic live outing, expanded and remastered: In its original, considerably humbler incarnation, 'Fillmore East - June 1971' was a live concept album on which Zappa and his Mothers scratched several idiosyncratic intches that didn't make the cut for the same year's more celebrated and iconic '200 Motels' ... Perhaps too scattergun for its own good, it's nonetheless a prime example of Zappa's innate talent for zeitgeist-tapping pastiche ... The deluxe 8CD edition adds tracks left off the original release (including the six-song encore with guests John Lennon and Yoko Ono), an entire second show at the same venue, plus selections from two further US gigs and the Rainbow Theatre, London, in December '71".
