Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, live at the Rockpile, Toronto, February 23rd 1969

The Rockpile was Toronto’s hippest club, and 4000 of the city’s hippest heads flocked there on February 23rd 1969 to see the great Frank Zappa and his Mothers Of Invention. They did not disappoint, playing a remarkable set that combined their uniquely skewed take on rock’n’roll with virtuoso solos and improvisations, as well as their trademark humorous interludes. Originally broadcast on CBC-FM, their late set is presented here, together with background notes and images.
