Frank Zappa: Drooping Dildos (2LP Soundboard)

[itsjustme1]

* Bismarck Theater, Chicago, 23-Nov-1984 (early show)

Dropping Dildos is a double-LP issue of the 23-Nov-1984 Chicago show, and The Broccoli Shower and Kiss My Volcano are two single-LP issues of the first and second parts of the same show. The two single LPs together cover more of the show than the double LP does.

Musicians: Frank Zappa, Ike Willis, Ray White, Scott Thunes, Chad Wackerman, Alan Zavod and Bobby Martin
General Notes on Tracks and Concert

Many of these recordings were used on Stage #3:

* "In France" and "Bamboozled by Love" are complete recordings of the Stage #3 versions, which are edited (on "In France" on Stage #3, the harmonica is edited down and the guitar solo edited out, and on "Bamboozled by Love" the guitar solo is edited down a bit)
* "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up", "Carol, You Fool" and "Chana in de Bushwop" are the same versions as on Stage #3
* "Advance Romance" is one of at least two sources for the Stage #3 version: The first 01:02 on Stage #3 are from here, as well as everything after 02:31 (but the beginning of the guitar solo is edited out on Stage #3)

From U:

OK, here's the deal. This is the concert where Zappa takes over Alan Zavod's "Volcano" solo on "Chana in de Bushwop" ("Hey, Nice Volcano!" on Stage #3). Then they play "Let's Move to Cleveland", and where they would normally sing "kreeg-ah bundola" or "let's move to Cleveland", they sing "kiss my volcano" instead.

Secret word: "Broccoli". What follows are track lists and other details on the individual bootlegs.

The cover shows Zappa with a Gibson guitar. The picture was used on a 1980 (!) tour poster, and can be seen on page 122 in Dominique Chevalier's book Viva! Zappa (The same picture is on the FZ008 Crush All Boxes bootleg CD cover). It says: "Manufactured by Finestkind Records and Tapes (PTY) LTD, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia". It also says they have copyrighted the material and the manufacture (of course, not true, not legal). The whole thing looks remarkably similar to Kiss My Volcano and The Broccoli Shower, but these records have extra material.
