Beat The Boots III
Mike Espinoza
MP3 format on Amazon. (I think Napster may have it, as well.)
Using various methods, I believe that I have identified all but one of
the tracks. I could not identify the source for "Watts" on Disc
Five. I originally thought it was from 1974 because of George's
unmistakable piano, but I don't hear Ruth and the drums could be
either Terry or Chester, so it's either from '74 or '75.
I have included my findings below. Feel free to error check it.

I can't access the sample at the moment, but I'm going to guess from
the title, length and description that this is the "Trouble Every Day"
solo from Goteborg, 9/25/74, which FZ apparently considered releasing.
> 6. Falling In Love Is a Stupid Habit - Demo, appeared on Apocrypha
Interesting choice to release given that FZ denied knowledge of this
song.

Interesting choice to release given that Al DiMeola wouldn't authorize
FZ to release his solo (although, according to a post on zappa.com, he
has said recently that he's forgotten why he made that decision).
> 17. Too On The Town - Impromptu TV Theme, appeared on Randomonium
Should be "Two On The Town" (although I suppose FZ might have
appreciated the wordplay of "too on the town").
> 18. Truck Driver Divorce - Studio outtake, appeared on Randomonium
I think this is actually a live recording without the studio-
rerecorded vocal and drums heard on Them Or Us.

This is possible. It is a solo (and a damn good one, I might add).
The sound quality is spectacular for a boot, so it would not be
surprising if it was one that he considered releasing.

Does anybody really believe that Joe Travers does not have a copy of
Apocrypha?

Yeah. I don't know what's with the misspellings. I don't know that
the actual boots mispelled that track name. Note that "Rondo Hattom
on Guitar" is also a misspelling.

I just heard the sample and yes, that's what "Watts" is.

"Twinkle Tits" on the Zut Alors lp in the 10-record Mystery Box bootleg
is the same solo.

Yep, that's the one. Just checked out my Zut Alors-Side 2 mp3. Oh,
well. At least now I have it as a separate file. (I bought "Watts"
and "Kreega Bundola", the latter of which I really didn't have.)
At least it has good sound.

Also, at least they're not trying to charge $19 for each "album"...
Speaking of the Zut Alors boot, I'd still like to know where or what
that series of chords before "Ship Ahoy" comes from. I posted an mp3 of
it a couple years ago, but no one seemed to know...

Sounds like one of the strange FZ improvs that sometimes occured
around the "Chunga's"/"Zoot" segment of a fall 75/winter 76 show, but
I don't think anyone's found it on a concert tape yet.
