Notes on this material from the Frank Zappa Tape Reviewing Society 
(I only picked the parts of the reviews that actually apply to the tracks above):


75-Oct-1:

PB review:
This leads to Chunga's Revenge, with another round of entertaining (though not 
amazingly virtousic) solos including a rather long one from FZ.

Next is Any Downers, with a massive FZ solo. Again, in this listener's opinion, 
FZ started on a steep upward incline to the guitar-playing peak that he reached 
in 78-81 with this tour, and this song offers the best evidence of that on this 
tape.

Then the set finishes with a Zoot Allures/Sleep Dirt/Black Napkins medley. 
That might seem like any guitar fan's fantasy, but none of those three songs is 
at its peak at this point - however, FZ turns in some interesting musings on the 
tentative Zoot and builds Napkins up to a satisfying climax after a relatively 
tepid, twangy beginning.
