Frank Zappa - 1978 - A Pound For A Brown Jazz Version, Poughkeepsie, NY.

“A Pound For A Brown” expresses a jazzy sensibility and a thick spacey synth breakdown, showcasing the groups many improvisational talents. Sep, 21-1978, Mid Hudson Center, Poughkeepsie, NY One of the most legendary musicians and intense concerts to grace an Upstate New York stage took place in the fall of 1978 at the Mid-Hudson Center in Poughkeepsie. On September 21, 1978 Frank Zappa and his band appeared on stage for an extended fun and filthy evening of multifarious musical excursions. The resulting document captures Zappa’s 1978 big touring band featuring, Zappa, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, Arthur Barrow on bass, Ed Mann on percussion, Tommy Mars on Keyboards, Denny Walley on second guitar, Peter Wolf on second keyboards and Ike Willis on guitar and vocals. The 3,000 seat venue in the midst of the Hudson valley would bear witness to a diverse, virtuosic and musically offensive performance that is still reflected on and talked about by locals and hardcore Zappa fans alike.
