:arrow: [b]JAYPFUNK LOW GEN SBD TAPE / DREW51 2011 NEW TRANSFER[/b]
This 2012 entry marks the long awaited return of the 1978 02 15 Berlin SBD recording to FZ Shows thanks to the generous tape contribution by jaypfunk and professional 2011 tape transfer by Drew51. This fresh transfer from JPF�s low generation SBD tape has been speed corrected and patched to completion using the excellent DogBreath AUD MC recording for fills [i](thanks to the generous tape contribution by DogBreath and professional 2012 tape transfer by WIU2B)[/i]. The entire performance runs 153 minutes and 39 seconds and although the SBD tape does exhibit the element of tape hiss, it is an excellent solid A grade listen representing the best sounding version of the SBD tape acquired & assembled for FZ Shows to date. Enjoy this historic FZ time capsule performance of 34 years + past, presented to FZ Shows @ Zappateers this Leap Day 2012.

:arrow: [b]SOURCE INFORMATION[/b]
The SBD source tape used herein is indeed the same tape source used to provide the 2005 jaypfunk FZ Shows entry, which has long since been archived here:

1978 02 15 Berlin Germany SBD (jaypfunk) http://www.zappateers.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1420

The archived version was an excellent sounding transfer, although incomplete. It contained solely the SBD source [i](warts and all)[/i] yet also carried with it a sizeable mystery cut during the first verses of Yo Mama. The tape also required further speed correction to run at the proper pitch. Thankfully, a fresh transfer was granted. This new transfer of the low generation cassettes revealed a complete Yo Mama intact. The new transfer further benefitted by being fully speed corrected with countless millisecond glitches appropriated. For those who may ponder, yes, the exact same millisecond glitches appear on the jaypfunk 2005 version, so these glitches were nothing new to these excellent sounding source tapes.

:arrow: [b]SHEIK YERBOUTI PERFORMANCE NOTATION[/b]
This show yields 2 performances that were subsequently issued in drastically edited form on Sheik Yerbouti. The first being �Rat Tomago� in all it�s unedited glory, which appears as part of �The Torture Never Stops� performance. The second being �The Shiek Yerbouti Tango� in all it�s unedited glory, which appears as part of �Little House I Used To Live In� performance. It is indeed fascinating to listen to these selections in their original context and lengthy form.

Tonight�s show also highlights much of the material that would eventually come out over a year later with the release of Sheik Yerbouti. Hence, a superb performance of the developing material. The SY album was finally released on March 3rd, 1979 as the first release on Zappa Records. Most of the basic tracks were recorded from the live shows of this very band from this very tour whose journey began on 1977 09 09 at State University, San Diego, CA, USA and stretched 6 months spanning 10 countries through 1978 02 28 Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK. At the time of this performance, Terry Bozzio & Adrian Belew had but only 8 performance dates remaining with FZ. Belew was signed up with FZ solely for this tour, while Bozzio had been a veteran of three prior FZ tours.
