Recorded live at Pauley Pavilion, UCLA, Los Angeles, California on August 7, 1971. Digitally remastered by Bob Stone.

Liner Note Author: Frank Zappa. Recording information: Pauley Pavilion, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA (08/07/1971). Photographer: Bernard Gardner. Yet another live document of the early-’70s Mothers incarnation that included vocalists Flo and Eddie of the Turtles (FILLMORE EAST 1971 covers the same time period). JUST ANOTHER BAND is probably the closest Zappa and company ever came to putting music second to comedy. Naturally, the musicianship is stellar as usual, but extended instrumental passages are virtually non-existent, replaced by Flo and Eddie’s harmonies, delivering some howlingly funny lyrics. The centerpiece is the (originally) side-long “Billy the Mountain,” a comic conceptual tour de force. Over a complex, suite-like form that incorporates multiple time and dynamic changes, the Mothers tell the surreal story of a Mountain named Billy who walked like a man, and his conflicts with those pesky little humans. “Magdalena” offers a parody of Four Tops-style romantic devotional tunes, while “Call Any Vegetable” ranks among the finest food songs of the rock era (a surprisingly impressive distinction).
