"I like to go on the road. The worst thing about going on the road is the travelling around but once you get there it's really nice to play in different places. I can't imagine being a studio group and playing live in the studio and importing an English audience or a Danish audience or a Dutch audience, because judging from the tapes which have been made over the last two years on our European tours, we've played different kinds of shows for those audiences. Especially the Danish audiences because we've done our farthest out weirdness there." - Frank Zappa Interview By Barry Miles, International Times, 25 August 1969.

  • Ian Underwood Whips It Out (Live On Stage In Copenhagen)
  • "'Disco Boy' came about because we were in Denmark and we went to the place there called The Disc Club, and it was really poot. It was so make-believe sophisticated that it was embarassing. The place was decorated like a playboy-type living room would sorta be like - lowboy chairs and snackettes on the table, and everybody drinks and dances to these robots beat records, which I happen to like you know. I'm very fond of monotony. I think it's an integral part of contemporary civilisation and once you adapt to it you're better in phase with reality. I think that it's probably one of the funnier commentaries on the disco syndrome" - Zappa in New Music Express, 1977 interview.
  • Dong Work For Yuda was inspired by translation problems between John Smothers and a Danish cab driver. Smothers wanted to be taken to the Falkoner Center in Copenhagen, but the cab driver didn't understand his request: "Falcum. Take me to the Falcum."
