Not as good as it's made out to be.

I also think this is overrated. Get YCDTOSA Vol 2 instead. 3 of the tracks are faded out. This is a remastered disc; the rest of those tracks should have been included when the 2lp set was released on CD. Also, Cheepnis was remixed, and it stands out from the rest of the disc by how much...

One of Zappa's best LP's

Having listened to this recording since it first came out, and being a ginormous Zappa fan in any case, I can assure you sans doute that this is one of the best Zappa CD's you will find. "Son of Orange County/More Trouble Everyday" alone is worth the price of purchase. In general, the period...

Fantastic ...

This recording demonstrates how much fun a live performance can be ... great songs ... great humor ... great artists. This album would be worth the price even if it only contained the "preamble" to Cheepnis!

Essential but not excellent

Anyone with more than a passing interest in Frank Zappa's work should listen to this. It is an example of a live a band Frank clearly enjoyed touring with. Their high level of muscianship and Frank's respect for that sounds clearly through the disc. This was a period in Frank's evolution as a...

Jewel In The Crown

I have been an avid Zappa fan for years, back in the 70s, hearing "Apostrophe" changed the way I heard music forever.Unfortunately, most of my extensive Zappa collection burned in a house fire, so in putting together music, I am sticking with the essentials.In my opinion, Roxy rates as a "Jewel...

Hands down, the best Zappa album ever!!!!!

This is my favorite Frank Zappa album of all time! The band, the crowd inuendos, and Franks guitar work still puts me at awe everytime I listen to this album. Roxy never gets old and very few albums that I own even come close to touching it. "Penguin in Bondage" and "Pigmy Twilite" are my two...

Superb

You know the thrill of experiencing a piece of art for the first time and instantly recognising that it has added value to your life? I'm an admirer of Mr Zappa for two decades and in possession of a substantial part of the canon, but for no apparant reason I never purchased Roxy. As a result, I...

My most favourite live album of all times

Received a vinyl copy of this remarkable live recording from my father as a youngster and it served as an excellent introduction to the genius of Frank Zappa (and his ensemble).Frank shows what he's made of and why he's recognized as one of the greatest modern composers, guitar players as well as...

Total musical fun

After listening to this album when I was fourteen, I realized I had no choice but to be involved in music 24 /7. Frank Zappa makes a solid case for why "music is the best" and pity the poor souls who do not get it or who never get involved. God, this album is so much fun. Yet another gift for...
