Zappa/Beefheart/Mothers
County Coliseum
El Paso, TX
May 23rd 1975

My remaster of this somewhat odd bootleg.
By odd, I am refering to the wealth of bonus material.
We get the bulk of the El Paso show
(itself, I suspect, compiled from different sources)
plus various other tracks...so sound quality varies throughout.
The 73 recording is, arguably, the weakest
although it is notable for Irma Coffee's contribution.
I hope my reworking is a modest upgrade.
Overall I'd give it a solid medium plus.
Music/performance, however, is excellent
and exactly what you would want/expect from mid 70s FZ.
