I would recommend the entire You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Series for anyone interested in getting into Zappa. Contains fantastic performances from almost all of his various lineups from 1965-1988. It's what turned me from a casual Beefheart loving listener to a full-blown fan. For anyone who dismisses Zappa as 'comedy rock', they obviously never saw him live. If after hearing these albums and you still don't like him, then don't bother with anything else.
