Roxy & Elsewhere is a double live album by Frank Zappa and The Mothers, released in September 1974. Most of the songs were recorded on December 8, 9 and 10, 1973 at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California.

All compositions published worldwide by Munchkin Music. This is Zappa Family Archival Matter In Living Ylem. Matrix, Runout: M0S1 A9 SPM ZR20017-2 TEXT ZAPPA.

The title "Roxy by Proxy" alludes to the album's unusual distribution process. ZFT sells distribution licenses to individuals, who are then authorized to sell the factory-pressed CD with stock packaging and a 32 page booklet with a fine essay by Ruth Underwood, the only female instrumentalist that Zappa collaborated with for an extended period. If you're a more casual Zappa fan, get those two albums first, then wait a bit and see if the full Roxy performances materialize in an affordable video offering.

Roxy by Proxy is a live album by Frank Zappa, recorded in 1973 and released posthumously in 2014 by The Zappa Family Trust on Zappa Records. Ruth Underwood takes the listener on stage at the performances in her song by song liner notes. Roxy by Proxy, consists of unreleased material from the December 9 & 10, 1973 shows recorded live at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California. In late 1974, parts of these concerts were released on the double-LP set Roxy & Elsewhere. That album mixed material from these shows with music recorded a few months later, all of that material overdubbed and remixed. Here, material different from any of that used on the 1974 release is presented as the audiences in attendance heard it. Track listing. All songs produced, composed and realized by Frank Zappa.

The Roxy Performances capture Zappa and The Mothers in peak condition as they play to rowdy sold-out crowds in the intimate, just-opened venue in their hometown Los Angeles following the release of Over-Nite Sensation.

Frank Zappa's 'The Roxy Performances' will be released on February 2, 2018. Some of the songs that were recorded ended up on 1974's Roxy & Elsewhere LP, and later on Roxy by Proxy and Roxy the Movie, but The Roxy Performances marks the first time many of these shows have been collected in their entirety. Two nights before Zappa and his band played the Roxy, he invited some friends and other guests to a private show that was recorded and filmed. Two nights after the Roxy concerts, they headed to Ike Turner’s Bolic Sound in nearby Inglewood, Calif. for a recording session that was also filmed.
