[@Jack-vy6uo]

Gotta be hardcore fan to listen to rehearsal tapes( as I am) he was relentless to get everything just right

[@Ed_Mann]

Hey wow I never knew! Thanks

[@naderzekrya5238]

Beautiful Singer is Ray White ❤️

[@BrainiacFingers]

Saw Zappa on this tour and none of the songs being rehearsed here got played that night. I haven't even heard bootlegs from this tour where he played the Joe's Garage songs and Big Swifty. Amazing!

[@Jack-vy6uo]

The band only played Europe. Is that where you live?

[@BrainiacFingers]

@@Jack-vy6uo Yes. I saw the band at the London Hammersmith Odeon.

[@bigtone1348]

Scott Thunes had a habit of giving away rehearsal tapes to 'special friends'. A friend from long ago was given loads of these tapes by Scott. He liked my friend because he was blond & cute...

[@Jack-vy6uo]

I concur I witnessed such behavior in Cali.84 tour...

[@bonedog3000]

Isn't Ike Willis singing too?

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

He was not on the 1982 tour. I only hear Ray White.

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

Would have been great if the band was confident or competent enough to play "No Not Now" live. Heard em try it once but the vocals were...well they needed more vocal harmonies.

[@santiagoordonezalcaraz9281]

I love that song

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

@@santiagoordonezalcaraz9281 me too.

[@santiagoordonezalcaraz9281]

Is there a video of them playing it live?

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

@@santiagoordonezalcaraz9281 I'm afraid not. And I believe the video where I heard audio of it in a rehearsal studio setting was on br1tag channel. But I can't seem to find it right now.
