_NAME_: | [art rock] (2020) Frank Zappa – Halloween 81 (6 CD) [FLAC] [DarkAngie] |
Description: Review: It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little Frank Zappa… and this year, Zappa Records and UMe are delivering once again with a frightfully entertaining new box set. October 2 will see the release of Halloween 81, following up the previous releases of Halloween 73 and 77. The 6-CD box set boasts 78 previously unreleased live tracks from three concerts for more than seven hours of listening. The bandleader’s New York Halloween shows were among his most anticipated as he blended his signature musical virtuosity with a heavily tongue-in-cheek dose of seasonal revelry. The 1981 stand at the late, lamented Palladium – a once-luxurious 1927 movie palace sadly demolished in 1998 to make room for new dormitories at New York University – was particularly special to Zappa’s fans as he had curtailed the 1980 shows earlier than expected as a result of illness. (Not to mention that there was no fall tour, and no Halloween show, in 1979.) Halloween ’81 would be even more special, however. Zappa had arranged for the midnight concert in front of the 3,000-capacity crowd to be recorded for both radio and television (the latter on a new channel called MTV) – reportedly the first live simulcast in cable television history. The early show at 8 pm was filmed, too, and multimedia auteur Zappa would put that footage to good use, too, on his home video releases of The Torture Never Stops (1982) and The Dub Room Special (1983) and on the audio releases of The Dub Room Special, One Shot Deal, and the You Can’t Do That on Stage Anymore series. This new box set, however, marks the first time audio from the concerts has been released in its entirety. For the shows, Zappa was joined by his new band consisting of three new players – Scott Thunes on bass, Chad Wackerman, on drums and Robert Martin on keyboards – plus veterans Ray White on guitar, Ed Mann on percussion and Tommy Mars on keys. Steve Vai, affectionally referred to by Zappa as the “Little Italian Virtuoso,” appeared on his second tour as a band member. This unit had only been on the road for a month but played with the tightness of a seasoned troupe as they ran through Zappa’s intricate melodies both new and old. The tour supported the September 1981 release of You Are What You Is, and a number of that double album’s songs were featured including its title track, “Teen-Age Wind,” “Doreen,” “I’m A Beautiful Guy,” “Mudd Club,” “Dumb All Over,” “Suicide Chump,” and the Halloween-apropos, double entendre-laden “Goblin Girl.” The set has been produced by Ahmet Zappa and Vaultmeister Joe Travers, while the concerts have been newly remixed from the original 2-inch, 24-track analog masters by Craig Parker Adams.
