Track 1 is a spoken intro: Zappa tells the audience not to trip on the wires lest their "feet light up". Track 3 consists of silence, soundcheck and an introduction of the next track. Tracks 4-5 are listed as parts of "The String Quartet", an early number that was later split up into the two individual pieces. Tracks 6-7 are solo performances from Wild Man Fischer ("I'm the Meany" is about the Beatles). Track 8 is just a tiny bit of "Valarie". A better "Valarie" can be found on The Ark, also in Beat the Boots. Colour covers. Pressed on both red and blue vinyl. The back cover credits "Kutekkie Remote Control. Produced by Rod'n Nodny".
In the late 80s, one of the old Mothers tried to sell the tape of this show to collectors and/or bootleggers for a "fantasy price" so high that nobody was interested. Soon afterwards, that tape was rendered worthless when an identical tape leaked out from somewhere else and someone made this bootleg from it.
(In the '60s, Zappa was planning to release a real album called Our Man in Nirvana; you can read a bit about that in the Weirdo Discography. The title, of course, is a play on Graham Greene's book title Our Man in Havana. Our Man in Nirvana also inspired another bootleg title - Our Man in Italy.)
