Frank Zappa - 1974-11-17 - Philadelphia, PA (SBD/FLAC)

(Suondboard FLAC)

Frank Zappa and
The Mothers Of Invention

1974 11 17
Spectrum Theater
Philadelphia, PA

~~ from Barber SBD source, MC & 2nd gen transfer combo ~~

Revisited version of Yojimbo's previous MC upload in FZ Shows:
1974 11 17 Philadelphia 155.40 MC SBD w. 1st gen AUD fills (bburnett-Yojimbo)

Main body of this seed (Tracks 01-21) is the same as Yojimbo's previous upload of this SBD version,
including patches from his 1st gen AUD source,
but the inferior sounding final part of this SBD (Tracks 22-27) has been replaced
with superior sounding material from robsam's 2nd gen copy of this same Barber SBD source,
see Samples comparison and discussion.
Some of Yojimbo's original tracks had to undergo minor fixes in the process:
- volume level adjustments (raising left channel between 0.5 and 1.2 dB in Tracks 12-20)
- fixing one-channel drop out spots

I have also decided to track the Any Downers? vamp portion separate from More Trouble Every Day (Tracks 15-16).
Could this version be the world premiere live performance of Any Downers ?
Cool FZ & George Duke jamming to be heard here. Enjoy !
