Volume Three is sort of the "80s" volume, with most of the material on disc one coming from the 1984 tour, and disc two coming from a mix of the 70s and early 80s. Highlights of disc one include a version of Sharleena which documents the first time Frank and Dweezil ever played guitar together on stage. The resulting guitar duel is actually pretty impressive. The totally unexpected quote from Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart makes this version of Bamboozled By Love interesting. Honey, Don't You Want a Man Like Me includes a neat fake-out - when the audience sings the Live in New York version's line "Her favorite group was…Helen Reddy!", the band reply in unison "No! Twisted Sister!" This live version of Drowning Witch is great, although it had to be edited together from two different shows to make it sound that way. Ride My Face to Chicago, Carol You Fool, and Chana in De Bushwop all see their only official releases, and are all pretty catchy songs. This abbreviated version of Joe's Garage is fun and fast, but lacks the textural depth of the original. The vocals notes that are held out forever on Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? are impressive.

The second disc of volume three includes another mammoth piece - a version of King Kong that was edited together from multiple performances to make a "best of King Kong" track. Before that though, we get an interesting mix of material. The disc opens with Dickie's Such an Asshole, a Nixon-bashing song from the early 70s. Hands With a Hammer is a Terry Bozzio drum solo, introduced by a dialog clip of Terry complaining about how hard the tour has been on him and saying that it feels like someone has been beating his hands with a hammer. This drum solo segues into a beautiful performance of Zoot Allures, possibly my favorite version of that song. Then we get the complete side two of You Are What You Is, also taken from that Halloween 1981 MTV concert already featured on Volume one. The recording of Cocaine Decisions and Nig Biz comes from the Italian "riot" show, where the audience got into a battle with police and you can hear actual tear gas canisters being fired into the crowd. Amazingly, this only causes the band to stumble for a moment, and then they continue on. When they get to the next instrumental break, Zappa has an Italian translator try to calm the crowd. After that comes the 24 and a half minute King Kong, which has an unusual reggae feel through most of it. Closing the set is a good version of Cosmik Debris.

Out of the six volumes Frank Zappa came out with in this series, Vol. 2 is the only one which features a complete concert. It is a great performance where Zappa and the band are in good spirits.

This is sourced from the original 1988 release. Some reports on the web state that Zappa did three shows in Helsinki, and that the CD may have been assembled from two.

An unofficial libretto may be found here:
http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/lyrics/You_Can't_Do_That_On_Stage_Anymore_Vol_2.html
Volume two features a complete performance by the lineup of FZ, Napoleon Murphy Brock, George Duke, Ruth Underwood, Tom Fowler and Chester Thompson. The liner notes claim that the whole album was recorded on Sept. 22, 1974 in Helsinki, Finland. While the whole thing comes from that location, fans who compared the official album with boot tapes have found that the CDs are a mix and match of multiple shows from around that date. Still, it sounds like one continuous concert, and in the end that's all that really matters. Another rumor that floated around about this album was that the bass drum was, for reasons unknown, re-recorded at the time the CDs were being put together. This has been the subject of much debate on alt.fan.frank-zappa, with even the "insiders" who worked with Zappa giving conflicting reports - one recording engineer swore that the bass drum was not re-recorded, while another one detailed the exact equipment and methodology they used to do it. To my ear, the kick drum sounds very out-of-place, so I'd believe that it was re-recorded. With that bit of useless trivia out of the way…

By the time this band got to Helsinki, they had been playing together for quite a while, so they were able to blow through these songs with amazing speed and precision. Some of the songs are the same titles found on Roxy And Elsewhere, but here they're played much faster and with a sense that the band has "perfected" these songs.

The first disc opens with Tush Tush Tush - the melody of this song would eventually become A Token Of My Extreme on the Joe's Garage album, but here the lyrics are mostly improvised, based on recent events in the band. Inca Roads has a crushingly good guitar solo, an intense bass and keyboard part towards the end, and beautiful flute playing throughout. Crank it up loud, and your jaw will hit the floor. RDNZL is also impressive, with Zappa counting it off by shouting a quick "One! One! One! One!". This version of Village of the Sun is good, but the quick tempo kills some of the emotional impact. Room Service is an improvised piece with the band reenacting their difficulties getting decent room service and female companionship at the hotel. The rest of disc one is impressive as well, with the band whipping through some complex tunes like they were a piece of cake.

Disc two begins with Approximate, a piece where the rhythms were strictly enforced, but the musicians could improvise whatever melody they wanted. Several versions of the song are performed, including a capella and tap dance (!). The rest of the disc is dominated by the massive, 24 minute version of Dupree's Paradise, that comes next, complete with lots of improv and percussion solos. To be honest, this has never been one of my favorite songs, but some fans love it (I just saw a guy on rec.music.progressive list it as one of his top-10 all time favorite songs). At the end, it segues into a traditional Finnish tango, Satumaa ("Leave the lights on on stage, we have to read this music. We've never played it before"). After that there's a flurry of short pieces, including a Dog Breath / Uncle Meat medley that's interesting to compare with the version on The Yellow Shark. The final full song is Montana, and what a song it is. It starts with a guy in the audience shouting out "Whipping Post!". Frank consults with the band, but they don't know Whipping Post. So instead they play Montana, with Frank altering the lyrics to include as many references to a whipping post as he could work in. Very funny. The disc ends with Big Swifty, but it's really only a snippet of that song tacked onto the end of Montana, followed by band introductions and the end of the album.

Volume two seems to be most fans' favorite of the series, getting much praise from folks on the Zappa newsgroup and always being recommended to people who ask which volume to begin with. Personally, it took me a long while to warm up to this album (although now I think it's fantastic). It helps a lot if you're familiar with Roxy And Elsewhere before hearing this one. Otherwise, I'd start with volume one and then take the rest in order.

There are some fantastic performances of some classic Zappa tracks spread across both these discs. Best of the bunch is a quite brilliant version of ' Big Swifty' by the 73/74 band, closely followed by a hilarious 'Dont Eat The Yellow Snow' from 1978. Other highlights include a very early 'Sofa #1'; a super 'Zomby Woof', and there are plenty of great guitar pieces to be heard too. There is hardly a weak track on this album. Very much recommended.

While most of the discussions of Frank Zappa have to do with his satirical and off-color lyrics, the fact remains that he was one of the finest and most underappreciated guitarists around. This collection places the spotlight squarely on Zappa's mastery of the guitar. Recorded for the most part in 1979 and 1980 (with a few tracks dating as far back as 1977), Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar is simply a collection of guitar solos. Even though most of the tracks were just edited out of their original song context, they fare well as stand-alone pieces, as Zappa was an ever-inventive player. Take, for example, the three versions of "Shut Up." These tracks were simply the guitar solos from "Inca Roads," but thanks to Zappa's ability for "instant composition," each version has its own complete story to tell, without ever being redundant. Other highlights are the reggae-tinged "Treacherous Cretins" and the beautiful "Pink Napkins." In addition to the electric guitar mangling contained on Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar, there are a couple of rare tracks that feature Zappa on acoustic guitar in a trio with Warren Cuccurullo on acoustic rhythm guitar and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. In fact, special mention goes to Colaiuta for his polyrhythmic daring all over this album. All band members play great throughout, but Colaiuta's playing is mind blowing. The album closes with another oddity: a gorgeous duet between Zappa on electric bouzouki and Jean-Luc Ponty on baritone violin. This is an album that should be heard by anyone who's into guitar playing. Highly recommended.
