Zappa - Live At The Roxy & Elsewhere (Blu Ray)

[elmer]

This is the holy grail for Zappa fans. Finally, an acknowledgement today from the Zappa family trust;

Dear People of Earth,

Here's what's thrilling:

1. It is Moon's Birthday today! And this morning I was lucky enough to have a cold breakfast with Moon and Mathilda - Ice Cream Cake and the sun wasn't even up yet. Yay!

2. I know I do not have to remind you that next December 2013 is the 40th Anniversary of the Roxy Performances. Now that we have thoroughly identified all it's parts and participles, we will deliver The Movie without further incident and maybe only a little ado. In theatres, DVD and Blue-ray, sometime before December, 2013.

3. MEANWHILE . . . before this December 2012, in anticipation of The ACTUAL Movie, we are pleased to inform you that we are scheduling the release of the PREQUEL to the actual Soundtrack. Yes. You will! Appreciate the raw unbridledness of the 75 minutes and 49 seconds of Roxy without the Elsewhere. Further details on The Movie and P.S. (Prequel Soundtrack) as soon as the duckies are all lined up.

4. Oh, and did I mention a new series is about to launch - Road Tapes - on Vaulternative Records! We've taken direct aim at Halloween!

5. Thank you.

xxx,

and more penguins in bondage!

Back in college - you were either a side 2 or a side 3 fan - my preference was side 2 - Village of the Sun!

Cheapnis was really my fave from the album...his intro to it just sold me completely. As a kid with a fondness for odd music and cheap horror films it was an easy sell.

Roxy was my first Zappa album. As a high school freshman the song I connected with was Penguin in Bondage. I saw Zappa Plays Zappa at the Roxy in 2008 and Dweezil was talking about the film's imminent release then. I'd pretty much given up on it by now, but based on this year's reissues, I think it's finally gonna happen. Seeing ZPZ at the Roxy was amazing, I can't even imagine what it must have been like to see FZ himself in such a small venue.
