This is the full, unedited version of a rare performance by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention recorded on 6th October 1968 for TV show The Beat-Club [part of the liner notes from fold out sheet] This DVD contains a filmed rehearsal of Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention at the legendary Beat Club in Bremen, Germany, on 6th October 1968. 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.
