    That means the DVD is only another 10 years away!

    Hoorah.

    Remind me to never pre-order anything from Barfko/Swill.I pre-ordered RBP in November.

    Kind of ridiculous that it took so long to release. I question whether the video release will ever happen.

    IMHO, Gail needs to hand off control of the vault to someone more interested in running it as a proper business. She could retain a veto, but otherwise it might be better for her to step back and enjoy life.

    Well, time to order.

    I'll never complain about the availability, whenever it happens, of archival FZ releases.

    Wow! I honestly was expecting it to take 78 more weeks.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

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

    I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.

    The shipping notice in my in-box was a very welcome sight. I anxiously await the arrival of RBP.

    Yep, yep!

    Guess the tracklist is not available on the interwebs anywhere? I did a google search and nothing.

    Just finished. All killer, no filler. Like Roxy, but without all of the stuff I always ffw through! Not a dull spot and the band is unbelievably tight. Essential listening to any Zappa freak and may just be the ultimate FZ live experience on cd!

    Mine arrived Thursday 3/18. I got thru the first couple of tracks in the car on the way to work. So far I like it but I really need time to listen to it on a proper stereo system and let it sink in.

    This album is well worth the wait. Amazing performances by my all-time favorite band. The band is just on fire. Dupree's, Dog Breath, T'Mershi, and RDNZL are all no holds bar and some of the best versions of each! I love the "lounge" Inca Roads too!

    Also, Ruth's liner notes are incredibly insightful. Lots of really great analysis and comments. Her ode to Village of the Sun is worth the read alone. Full of love. Zappa baby

    RDNZL,Cheepnis-Percussion,Cheepnis,Dupree's Paradise, and the last track medley are the highlights, for me.

    I dig the rawness,the fact that we're hearing these tracks warts and all.

    As Lieto stated above, Ruth Underwood's notes are a pleasure to read.

    A stone winner.Get it.
