Now I know some hardcore folks feel that the only stuff worth releasing are
so called "monster songs" - I personally wouldn't mind even hearing Bobby
Brown for the 100th time if it was from an era / line-up never (officially)
released before.
The one line-up I'd really like to hear more is the '73 group, with Ralph
and Jean-Luc...
Anyways. Just a thought.
You can always visit the Bootleg Paradise....

San Diego '73, with Sal Marquez in the lineup and Don Preston
guesting: greatest concert EVER. And I know they have it in the vault.

According to Jason "Foggy" Gossard
<http://members.shaw.ca/fz-pomd/turtlestew/72f2.htm>:
As I originally envisioned them, the title "Monster" referred to songs
that contained a high degree of improvisation, going beyond the realm
of "solos" and frequently into the limits of complete unpredictability.
While a song did not have to actually reach these limits each
performance to qualify for Monster status, the potential for such
musical outer limits needed to be present. For this tour, I do not feel
that any songs actually qualify for Monster status. Yes, they almost
all contain solos- and some brilliant ones at that- but these solos
never veer off into a completely new direction. Frank has predetermined
a vamp and/or structure for each solo, and this set-up is not deviated
from. Plus, in comparing different performances of the same song, one
finds that the only difference between them is the solo itself, with
all other aspects of the song being essentially the same. So while I
highly enjoy this tour for the wonderful soloing that occurs within
each tune, I find that the tour is lacking in any real "far out"
improvisation, and thus there are no Monster Songs.

Is there a bootleg of this?
I know _I_ don't have it.
Wondering,

AFAIK, it's never been in circulation. But zappa.com posted a snippet
of it (with local references that proved it was the show I thought it
was) to promote the Imaginary Diseases release. (Which is from a whole
different tour, but there was conceptual continuity between the San
Diego excerpt and the CD title.)
