Overall the quality varies from good to very good, as stealth was a way of life back then, especially at Zappa shows . The setlist was dirived from the Zappateers database, and includes a song I believe omitted from their setlist. One song is cut short due to tape flip around 40 minutes and several seconds is missing from the tape swap at aprox. 85 minutes but was spliced together cleanly. Master quality, no hiss, some inevitable crowd noise, and some sparodic level changes as the mics were hand-held. Overall a very enjoyable show, Frank is very congenial, talking to the NY audience, and gracious in his acceptance of all the blow-up dolls passed on stage toward the encores.
