Rykodisc / (Frank Zappa, May 1981)
Zappa's late-'70s/early-'80s period was marked by many personnel changes to his regular touring group. TINSEL TOWN REBELLION documents some of the first live recordings to feature the likes of Steve Vai, Warren Cucurullo and Vinnie Colaiuta, all of whom who would go on to become infamous for their Zappa tenure. Filled with the usual on-the-spot jokes and one-liners that normally accompany a live Zappa record, REBELLION features an incredibly tight ensemble that wails on such memorable performances as "For The Young Sophisticate," "Tell Me You Love Me" and the hilarious title track. Surprising highlights include some soaring doo-wop vocals on "Love Of My Life" and the revved-up tempo on the classic instrumental "Peaches En Regalia" (labeled here as "Peaches III"). This is a good starting place for those looking for a little of the magic that Zappa brought to every live performance. ©cduniverse
