What Kind of Girl Do You Think We Are? Zappa/Mothers, Fillmore East, 11/13-14/1970

Fans of the "Flo & Eddie" version of the Mothers will enjoy this anniversary special, with most of it recorded 43 years ago today. It's one of those Fillmore East soundboard feed master reels recorded from the area underneath the stage... there's a bunch of them and this is part of that extended family. Grace Slick from the Jefferson Airplane is actually goaded onstage to participate in the debauchery at the start of the second set.

Enjoy some Mothers' Day fun in November, I insist. And a Happy Birthday to this FZ/MOI ode to the glory days of vaudeville... in an alternate dimension where vaudeville had WAY more references to genitalia and hotel rooms, and what happens when they meet.
