The son of the alt.fan.frank-zappa Bootleg FAQ says:
This is one of the best 1984 shows, in its entirety, with very good sound. (Some copies have been reported to list disc one as disc two, and vice versa.) Track 20 is about "voodo mar-juh-rene underpants" and track 24 about "the Women's Movement" - in a discussion on alt.fan.frank-zappa in March 2000 about "the dumbest or most embarassing thing Zappa said on stage", this talk on "the Women's Movement" was one of two things that came up. JWB describes it like this:
Before the encore, somebody passes a note onstage. It has a bunch of fan-esque compliments and then it says something like "the only thing about you that sucks is your attitude towards women" ... and then it says something about the Raggedy Ann doll and how he should make it do some things to men who are just as dumb as the women he makes fun of, rather than sexual things.
Then Zappa replies out of the blue, in a condescending voice, with something like, "Let me tell you about women's movements. The only good women's movement is the one where I'm inside of them and they're holding onto the bedpost and their eyes are rolled up in the back of their head. What do you think about that?"

Flaws: None
Kahuna's Rating:***** I have two copies of this boot. Both sound the same and have just two tracks but one has a third track of filler "Crownz on Velvet" w/Al Dimeola NYC 11/17/81. If you never heard this song its killer jazz guitar. Big Kahuna recomends this one but take your choice

Ask Dr. Stupid - is an "Easy Meat" solo from Eppelheim 21-Mar-1979
Scratch & Sniff - is an unknown 1988 "City of Tiny Lites" solo
Trance-Fusion - is a "Marqueson's Chicken" solo from Stuttgart 24-May-1988. (This recording could first be heard at the end of a TV documentary called AAAFNRAA about the Yellow Shark rehearsals, where it was played over footage of the riots in Los Angeles.)

Finding Higg's Bison - is a "Hot-Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel" solo from Vienna 08-May-1988
Bavarian Sunset - is a live jam with Dweezil from Munich 09-May-1988
The son of the alt.fan.frank-zappa Bootleg FAQ says:
JEFF SZARKA: Rumour has it that a member of Gail's (get that) staff was dismissed and in a fit of anger they pounced & they pounced again & bootlegged the master/testpressing or whatever to fuck her over.
STAN: It's from advance (promo) cassettes, from years ago when they were about to release it, but then didn't for some unknown reason.
The cover has an extremely ugly charicature of Zappa on the cover of the Baltimore weekly CityPaper.

Musicians: Frank Zappa, Adrian Belew, Patrick O'Hearn, Tommy Mars, Peter Wolf, Ed Mann and Terry Bozzio
The son of the alt.fan.frank-zappa Bootleg FAQ says:
Some cover track lists are quite wrong; the above should be correct. This is the Baby Snakes concert: tracks 2 & 4 and the entire side 2 appear in the BABY SNAKES video; tracks 8-9 even made it to the Baby Snakes album. "Donna U Wanna" is an approximation of the name of a character in the BABY SNAKES movie.
The cover depicts a Jack o'Lantern figure on a greenish horse against the backdrop of a huge moon and some "ugly trees". "ZAPPA" is written in wild-westy letters. It's on Blind Aardvark Records - their logo is an aardvark with sunshades - and from 1997.
