This two-disc set has one hour of the '60s-era band and another of one concert from '82 in Switzerland. It is evident that the original Mothers, while simply playing as well as they could, were establishing the foundation upon which all of the later bands were built.

You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore is a six-volume collection of what Frank Zappa felt were some of his best live performances. Volume 5 is an interesting compilation from two different decades. Disc one is a compilation of live tracks from early in his career (1965-1969) while Disc two comes from the 1982 European tour and is taken almost entirely from a single date in Stockholm, Sweden. Why Frank decided to package these two disparate discs together in a single volume is a little beyond me, but hey, that's Frank for you. The quality of the recordings is excellent but whether you like Frank Zappa's music or not is largely a matter of taste. Some say it's acquired, other say it's innate. For me, it's somewhere in between. I'm glad to finally have the missing volume 5 to complete my set.
