The music is largely one long improvisatory continuous performance rather than a run-through of their greatest hits, but is punctuated by Zappa directing the band to play the opening themes of some of his more well-known pieces. Thus we are able to experience interesting renditions of King Kong, A Pound For A Brown On The Bus, Sleeping In A Jar and Uncle Meat. Also played was an instrumental version of Let’s Make The Water Turn Black, an early example of Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask, a stab at the Prelude To Act 3 of Lohengrin by Richard Wagner and a nod towards Octandre by Edgard Varese.“
