You Can’t Do That On Stage Anymore – Vol. 3

Product Description

You…V3 (2 Cd) by Frank Zappa

From the Label

Three volumes into the series and we finally get a live version of “Why Does It Hurt When I Pee,” plus a version of “Dickie’s Such an Asshole,” recorded while it was still timely (it would turn up on BROADWAY THE HARD WAY, once Dickie was safely out of the way). These 25 tracks were recorded between 1971 and 1984 (5 songs were premiere recordings), although MOST of it’s from the 1984 tour. Of special interest is the first track, “Sharleena,” recorded December 23, 1984. On it, 15-year old Dweezil joins his father on guitar, the first time they played together onstage.

Also of special interest is a live version of “King Kong” that includes FZ’s guitar solo from the notorious Rainbow Theater show of 1971. It was during this very number that an overreacting audience member, whose girlfriend claimed to be in love with Frank, chose to jump onstage and knock FZ into the orchestra pit; he wound up in the hospital and wouldn’t perform for the remainder of the year. (This solo is deftly edited into a 1982 performance of the same tune). On the lighter side, there’s an ’84 performance of “Bamboozled by Love” where the band slides into a Yes riff that you’ll probably recognize.
