| J-Card Comment | please enjoy this fantastic show from the rarely heard petit wazoo tour! i was told this recording was copied directly from the master tape. i hear a little bit of tape hiss and i believe it might be a 2nd or 3rd gen, but it still sounds great. after careful listening at a loud volume, i can hear that some slight noise reduction was used on the late show somewhere down the line before i recieved it last year. there are some edits from between the songs. this was the way i recieved the discs. i did not and would not do any editing of any concert recordings. .there was also MANY loud pops and clicks all throughout the discs. i used soundforge click removal to remove them . i * think* i got all of them. - anyway, it's a vast improvement. play these shows loud. let's hope that gail actually releases a full show from this tour in the next century. - michael 12/7/03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- == The Petit Wazoo Orchestra October - December 1972 == Frank Zappa, Tony Duran, Dave Parlato, Jim Gordon, Bruce Fowler, Malcolm McNabb, Tom Malone, Earle Dumler, Glenn Ferris, Gary Barone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the following has been kindly borrowed from > http://members.shaw.ca/fz-pomd/wazoo/pwindex.html The Petit Wazoo was the nickname of Frank Zappa's band that toured in October, November, and December of 1972. It was not their official name; publicity for the tour billed the concerts as being performed by "Frank Zappa" and/or "The Mothers Of Invention". FZ did not refer to the band as the Petit Wazoo on any of the concert tapes I have heard. However, he did use the name in a 1989 interview. As far as I'm concerned, the Petit Wazoo is the Great Lost Zappa Tour. Why haven't any recordings been officially released? Petit, as in petit larceny or petit fours, is from the masculine form of the French adjective. It rhymes with "Twisted Sister". Petite is from the feminine form of the French adjective. It rhymes with "nothing to eat". Based on the one token I've heard, FZ seems to have pronounced it as Petite Wazoo. I have no evidence how he spelled it. I plan to keep the spelling Petit on this website until I get better evidence. -Charles Ulrich. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the late show in Kansas City (12/2/72), an audience member yelled out the request "Shit on stage!" Frank Zappa replied, a) "No, no. Go see Alice Cooper." b) "Spend fifteen years learning to play a musical instrument, you come to Kansas City and the guy says 'Shit on stage!'" c) "The name of this song is 'Cosmik Debris', which is as good as shitting on stage." d) "I just did shit on stage, and you missed it." e) all of the above -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- concert photos from these shows> http://members.shaw.ca/fz-pomd2/pics/kcpics.html ticket stub for the late show> http://www.fredunzel.com/tickets/72-12-02.htm ----------------------------- |
