Frank Zappa’s Five-Hour ‘Dress Optional’ 1968 Concert at the Whisky Will Finally Come Out
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention will release their five-hour concert recorded at the Whisky a Go Go from 1968.
(Notably, Uncle Meat’s “God Bless America” came from this concert, and some tracks later surfaced on the Zappa soundtrack in 2020.) The first officially released track from the collection, “The Duke – Take 2,” finds the Mothers noodling with wah-wah guitar, drums, and what could be a tambourine in perpetual motion for five-and-a-half minutes. Frank was in good spirits, the band played well, and the sequence of songs did capture the group’s live repertoire of the time.”
