Hello, how are you? i hope you are well. ive got a 'Torture Never Stops' Question. due to a HD prob i lost all the music on my computer, and a few FZ boots, (which im trying to rebuild up again) amonst them was a live "Torture Never Stops" (or could be Torchum) problem is i dont know what album this version is on? it's the one where he says " Now ladys and gentelmen for your dineing pleaseure" and dose the Mission Impossable theme about half way through. It's a Beauty of a version, and my collection wont be the same without it. im quite new to Zappa but, the Guitar on it, is got to be up there in his top solos! dose anyone know, what version it is? and do you agree?

check this out: torture

sounds like it's from best band
includes quotes from:
hall of the mountain king (grieg)
chattanooga choo choo (gordon/warren)
i love lucy (daniel/adamson)
my three sons (devol)
mission: impossible (schifrin) and addams family (mizzy)

As fans of the great man (and theres a lot of you) someone Has Surely heard this track or got it i cant be the only one? okay one last shot, il get all musio with it. at the begining, it come in all brass da, da, dadada, (do, do (guitar soft reply! no tubeular bells, no piano solo) it a quite slow verion, frank vocals are soft and low (theres no shouting, no man screaming at all in the course of the track) it's stays on a pritty even score, flows from him vocal wise it' got quite blusey feel to it. the girl is moaning, rather than screaming, theres a long guitar solo, a bit of fead though it. Dose anyone know anything about this, or know anyone who dose. Thank's Silmey for the answer and info you provided, but it i need to work with a wee bit less. this song has been perform since 1976 - 1988, and with 212 from one tour and theres no chance i'll be able to hear every version ever performed. if i can find the track, i'll find the album, and that would be somthing. So if there's anyone , or you know anyone could you please post a reply, any futher help would be geat
