    Loving all these live run boxsets. Hoping for Halloween 1978 next year!

    Hoping it will be on CDs and not a flashdrive . . .

    But, yeah, I should be in for this.
    I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.

    Wow! I'm thrilled it will be in a physical format.

    Guess I will finally be able to answer the question of how Roxy & Eleswhere/Roxy By Proxy/The Roxy Movie all differ.

    Totally in on this.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    Don't know if this was posted or not -- there was an error in the Halloween 77 Box Set (don't know if the download had the error or not too, though they don't mention it and it'd of course have been fixed as soon as they noticed it):

    http://www.zappa.com/news/halloween-...et-track-error

    November 21st 2017

    We have discovered that a track on the Halloween 77 Box Set has an error. The faulty track is “Wild Love” from Show 2, 10-28-77. We are happy to provide you with the corrected track.
    If you purchased the box through the Zappa.com Store you will have already received an email with a link to your download.

    If you purchased the physical box set elsewhere, simply email us at info@zappa.com with a picture of your box number, and we'll send you a link/code to download the replacement track.

    Thanks,
    Your friends at Zappa Records

    The Roxy set is out today (I've been reading that CDs outside the U.S. are delayed for some reason, but people in the U.S. have reported receiving it and it is on streaming sites). Worth a lot of listening time if you are a fan of this era of Zappa.

    I've always been a pretty huge fan of The Perfect Stranger (especially the orchestral pieces), and I heard this last night for the first time. I am absolutely blown away by this performance of this gem! I know the piece very well and this group absolutely plays this beautifully, and its captured gorgeously as well - live too! Kudos to The Norwegian Radio Orchestra for performing this (relatively) obscure FZ nugget! I think I've spun it at least 7 times so far
    If it isn't Krautrock, it's krap.

    This album is a hybrid CD/SACD with 5.1 sound. And the Goebbels piece is my favourite on the album.

    YouTube video availability can vary depending on where you live.

    After hearing this on Spotify, I am definitely buying the disc.

    That Goebbels piece is outstanding! I love the hybrid of electronic and urban textures with organic acoustic sounds, even bordering romanticism at times. Very cool stuff. What a great recording.

    Boy, you ain't joking! I've got the headphones on and am sipping on a nice bourbon while I listen to this.

    Is their other stuff this good?

    Coming next march : a 5 CD box set version of Zappa in New York.
    (listed on amazon.de)
    Perhaps the original LP mix + 4 CDs of outtakes.

    I can't find it there, but that's cool. (Only 5 CDs? The complete run would be around 10 CDs.)
