Tubes Cover Zappa, 1972

Posted on February 13, 2009 by urbangraffito

The following tracks are the two Zappa covers done by The Tubes in a 1972 concert. The exact date and location are unknown, but the concert probably took place in a club in the San Francisco area. I wish to thank hasnamus over at Zappateers who first torrented these Zappacovers (while the audio quality is rather poor, these tracks are great pieces of archival audio history):

    Thanks Urbangraffito! Are there are other Zappa covers tunes by the Tubes in the vaults?

    asked Bill Spooner, thelist@billspooner.com , if he’d care to comment here, as that’s him playing guitar on these & I’d love to hear any comment he would have.
