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-Dec-7:

After a Poodle Lecture, Dirty Love and the Freak Out medley, it's time 
for the first highlight of the evening, Black Napkins.  I've really grown 
to love the opening chord of Napkins. The transition from the ugliness of 
I'm Not Satisfied into the beauty of the Napkins vamp constitutes some kind 
of tension/release effect that feels great. Norma goes first, a typically 
melodic and beautiful solo. Next, Eddie Jobson on the synthesizer, a great 
solo, better than any of Andre's. FZ's solo ain't bad either, but not one 
of the better of the tour.

No major surprises in the next couple of songs. Pretty typical and good solos 
in Advance Romance, Enema Bandit and Carolina.



75-Dec-26:

Stinkfoot starts things off well with an energetic, straightforward solo, but 
then brings us all down with a lengthy Poodle Lecture. Filthy Habits is not in 
the line up yet, so after Dirty Love and the Freak Out! Medley, the show is 
already starting to bore. Black Napkins arrives to save the day, with Lewis 
taking a rare BN keyboard solo (typical Lewis solo), followed by a typically 
excellent BN Frank solo.
