This music is designed for them," proclaimed Frank Zappa during the Mothers of Invention s first ever European show, their landmark concert at London s Royal Albert Hall. Yet although Zappa s work may have been designed as a critique of his homeland, he would discover that the Mothers output found its most loyal audience on distant shores. That legendary performance occurred on September 23rd, 1967, and seven days later the band were playing to another packed crowd at The Stockholm Concert Hall. This momentous event, broadcast nationally, is presented in its entirety and in superb quality on Go Ape! By the time of the performance Zappa and the first incarnation of the Mothers were at the height of their powers. Their extended residency at New York s Garrick Theatre between April and September, 1967, had given the band a chance to experiment with both their musical repertoire and their unpredictable onstage antics This combination of off-the-wall experimentation and musical dexterity is captured perfectly in the Stockholm performance. With a set-list that includes cover versions of rock and pop standards alongside snippets of Stravinsky and Tchaikovksy, the Mothers run through inimitable versions of Freak Out s You Didn t Try to Call Me and It Can t Happen Here and their classic B-Side Big Leg Emma . The centre-piece of the concert is a remarkable rendition of King Kong , a composition that Zappa would develop and hone for years. A section of it had previously appeared in orchestral form on Lumpy Gravy, and another version would eventually make up an entire side of the double LP Uncle Meat. The live rendition presented here is a unique 18 minute phenomenon, its first section highlighting the remarkable interplay between Bunk Gardener on clarinet, Ian Underwood on alto sax and Don Preston on keyboards, and its second section a Zappa-conducted explosion of improvised sound. For many, the first Mothers of Invention were the greatest group Zappa ever assembled. Go Ape! is a perfect example of what made them such a rare and remarkable beast. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079V9923L | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (29) | | Date First Available | February 28, 2018 | | Item model number | REFRACT21CD | | Label | Refractor Records | | Manufacturer | Refractor Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.59 x 0.39 x 4.92 inches; 2.82 ounces | ## Images ![GO APE!

Although Id heard some snippets of this concert on Youtube (like Big Leg Emma and Petrushka) they've been dire quality. This set seems complete and the sound is top notch, and the performance of King Kong is a blinder! One to add to your collection for sure. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not bad *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2021* Not bad ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FZ Forever *by D***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2018* Great cd. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/74547711-go-ape-the-legendary-stockholm-concert-1967](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/74547711-go-ape-the-legendary-stockholm-concert-1967) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
