| Album notes by FZ
|
| This concert (does anybody remember the actual place or name of the recording engineer?) was fun, in spite of the fact that Napoleon Murphy Brock had pneumonia, and that Coy Featherstone, our lighting director, had been maced in the face by a guard at the Hotel Hesperia the night before.
|
| The repertoire is basically the same as the “Roxy” album, however, the ultra-fast tempos on the more difficult tunes demonstrate what happens when a band has played the material for a year, and is so comfortable with it they could probably perform it blindfolded.
|
| This band had a lot of skill (and miserable touring equipment: it was always breaking down, and full of hums and buzzes). In spite of this, it has remained one of the audience’s favorite ensembles, and so, for those of you who crave what they used to do, we present a full concert with a little bit of everything - including stuff that you can’t do on stage anymore.

|
|
|
| Later on we’ll have a dance contest and some lucky member of the audience will win a quart of Finnish champagne!
|
| Ha ha
|
|
|
| [George Duke] That’s a good… That’s a good…
|
| [FZ] Just wanna see how long… Right! OK. Ha ha ha! Alright, now here it is, all the way through…

|
|
|
| [FZ] Thank you!
|
| Thank you very much. Thank you, and thank you. And thank you some more, and thank you very much, and thank you, and thank you.
|
| KIITOS!
|
| Thank you, and thank you
|
| [FZ] Ladies and gentlemen, the name of this song, seeing as how we are CONFRONTED with a partial, how shall we say, language barrier here, we don’t wanna press the issue too much, folks, but, the chances of you figuring out what he’s going to say during this song are NIL. So what we’re gonna do is: we’re gonna play this instrumental tune, see, that starts off real easy, you know, it’s very LIGHT, and then builds up to an ORGASMIC FRENZY a little bit later on. Hey, I knew you’d enjoy that. Some service men here in the audience tonight, I’m sure. This song, we’re gonna start off so light that George doesn’t even know about it. Get your finger cymbal, George.
|
| [George Duke] Yeah
|
| [FZ] Whoops! The name of this song, folks, is “Dupree’s paradise”. It always starts off with George playing the finger cymbal. He hits it with a little stick and then, when nobody expects it, he hits his finger and hurts himself!
|
| [George Duke] Aaaah!
|
| [FZ] Do it again, George!
|
| [George Duke] Ooh, ah-hm-ugh!
|
| [FZ] Yes! More, George!
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Don’t hurt me, Dupree! Don’t hurt me, Dupree!
|
| [FZ] Hurt yourself, George
|
| [George Duke] Unusual last night
|
| [FZ] Pain, George!
|
| [George Duke] Ooof!
|
| [FZ] Oh! That’s it! That’s it!
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Don’t hurt me, Dupree! Don’t hurt me, Dupree!
|
| [FZ] Yes, now build them up to a frenzy!
|
| Hurt yourself again, George
|
| [George Duke] Ouch! Mmpf!
|
| [FZ] Play the piano, George
|
| [Guy in the audience] Thank you so much!

|
|
|
| [George Duke] And then it happened! Don’t know what it was. I could hear it comin’. Next door. It was a bass player playin’. What was he doin’? He sounded funny to me, though. What’s this fool playin’ at eight o’clock in the mornin’? I was tryin’ to sleep and this fool next door playin’ his thing and all night long Ruth was talkin’ ‘bout. Heh-heh heh-heh. I can’t get no sleep at all, ladies comin’ out in the hall talkin’ ‘bout (SHUT THAT TAPE RECORDER OFF!) You know it’s true!
|
[FZ] ✄ Rikki, don’t lose that number
|
| You don’t wanna lose that number, Rikki
|
|
|
| [FZ] Hey Ruth, d’you have any Suzi Quatro cassettes?
|
|
|
| [George Duke] I said: “Ruth, tell Ian to quit playin’ the bass clarinet”. But she said: “I like it! Well, ‘specially when it’s close to me”. She said she likes to feel the vibrations next to her er… I said: “Well, what does he do?” And she… And she said: “He plays that, and then… and… and… and… and… and then it, ah ah…”
|
| [FZ] “Harlem nocturne”, take one
|
| [George Duke] Ah, he breaks… he breaks into a chorus of… I said: “Good God!” I said: “But… But there’s such a thing as (Come back on here) BOOGIE”. And, we do that in Montana. And er… heh-heh… he goes like this, heh-heh-heh, y’all, it’s crazy!
|
|
|
| [FZ] Excuse me uh… uh… excuse me, yankee dog?
|
| Ah, Amerikanischer Schwein?
|
| Excuse me, would you mind opening your suitcase, please?
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Jawohl!
|
| I am from immigration
|
| [FZ] Yeah!
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] What country are you from?
|
| [FZ] Ah, would you please explain to me what you’re doing with these towels in your suitcase?
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Towels? What towels? Oh, you’ll see, you’ll understand, you see, I… I…
|
| [FZ] Don’t tell me the same thing that Suzy Cohen told me the last time she came into this country. Don’t tell me that the hotel said: “Please take these back!”
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] We tried to pay for them!
|
| [FZ] “Take these back with you”
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] We tried to offer them money
|
| [FZ] Don’t tell me you tried to pay for the towels
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] We offered them uh… marks, we offered them uh…
|
| [FZ] No. You Americans simply cannot be trusted.
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Quatro
|
| [FZ] And it won’t do you any good to call Herb, either!
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] We offered them uh…
|
| [FZ] You are under arrest. Hands up!
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] No! Not in this country! If I dance would you let me go?
|
| [FZ] Later that night… the towels, the mysterious towels, the towels of destiny, Suzy’s towels
|
|
|
| [Instrumental]
|
| [FZ] We have now a special request. No, you’d better leave the lights on on stage ‘cause we have to read this music, we’ve never played it before.
|

| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Bouilliabai, bouilliabai, bouilliabai, Stroganoff, bouilliabai. Here we go…

|
| Aavan meren tuolla puolen jossakin on maa
|
| Missä onnen kaukorantaan laine liplattaa
|
| Missä kukat kauneimmat luo aina loistettaan
|
| (Good God, ain’t it funky now!)
|
| Siellä huolet huomisen voi jäädä unholaan
|
|
|
| Oi jospa kerran sinne satumaahan käydä vois
|
| Niin sieltä koskaan lähtisi en linnun lailla pois (pois?)
|
| Vaan siivetönnä en voi lentää vanki olen maan
|
| Vain aatoksin mi kauas entää sinne käydä saan
|
|
|
| Olen! Olen! Stroganoff! Stroganoff! Olen Stroganoff!

|
| [Guy in the audience] “Whipping post”!
|
| [FZ] Say that again, please
|
| [Guy in the audience] “Whipping post”!
|
| [FZ] “Whipping post”? OK, just a second. (Do you know that?) Oh sorry, we don’t know that one. Anything else? Hum me a few bars of it, please just show me how it goes, please. Just sing, sing me “Whipping post” and then maybe we’ll play it with you.
|
| [Guy in the audience] Ooh-ooh-ooh
|
| [FZ] Thank you very much. And now… Judging from the way you sang it, it must be a John Cage composition, right? Here we go: “Montana”. One, two, one, two, three, four.
|
|
|
| I might be movin’ to…
|
|
|
| Hold it! Hold it! We can’t POSSIBLY start the song off like that! GOOD GOD! THAT’S INEXCUSABLE! What happened to you last night?
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] George has a tape of it
|
| [FZ] George has a tape of it? OK, we’ll use that in the second show. Ready? “Montana”. Wait a minute, “Whipping post”, no, “Montana”. One, two, one, two, three, four.
|
|
|
| [FZ] It’s TOO FAST for you! One, two, one, two, three, four.
|
|
|
| I might be movin’ to Helsinki soon
|
| Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss
|
|
|
| Raisin’ it up
|
| Waxin’ it down
|
| Tying it to the whipping post
|
| In the middle of town
|
|
|
| But by myself I wouldn’t have no boss
|
| ‘Cause I’d be raisin’ my lonely whipping post
|
|
|
| Raisin’ my lonely whipping post
|
| Raisin’ my lonely whipping post
|
|
|
| Well
|
| Well, I just might grow me some thongs
|
| But I’d leave the heavy stuff to somebody else
|
| (How ‘bout you, Chester?)
|
| And then I would…
|
|
|
| Get a person
|
| Tie him up
|
| To the whipping post
|
| And beat the living shit out of him so that guy in the audience was satisfied
|
|
|
| But by myself I wouldn’t have no boss
|
| ‘Cause I’d be raisin’ my lonely whipping post floss
|
|
|
| Movin’ to Montana soon
|
| Well
|
| Gonna be a dental floss tycoon
|
| (How unique!)
|
| Whip! Whip!
|
| Movin’ to Montana soon
|
| Now
|
| Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
|
| (Yes, it’s such a ballad at this tempo)
|
|
|

|
|
|
| [Napoleon Murphy Brock] Little booger-bear. Boogers everywhere.
