l,ll never forget the time I watched these crazy loveable guys perform bits of not insane in a tent at the Hollywood paladium parking lot during the renaissance fair in 1973!
i also have most of their earlier albums on 33 rpm records and some of the last ones on cd, but i have never heard this album till now and it is great, also, ever try to turn someone on to firesign theatre? it ain' easy.
I bought this as an album when it first came out (on some obscure label) and thought it was an album written much in the manner of their classic releases. When you have listened to the complete Let's Eat radio shows, you come to realize that this album and/or narrative was built, rather brilliantly, around a lot of random and brilliant bits, conversations, and funny moments from their radio shows. For this Just Folks album, they added the Ducktown reporters and overdubbed the reporters interacting with the Let's Eat conversations on the tapes. It's a *real* mash up of creative overdubbing, yet it works, and remains one of my favorites.

"Helicopter 59." "Tight Shoes." "I'll be Humping You." It's like having it right there in living room."

The Firesign Theater became our 'lingua franca' 1969-1973. Some of us still use their best lines as a remembrance of times past.
Steve Blomerth you can't get here from there
And "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere".
"Delayed Borgarigmus"...
And let us not forget the joyous cry of "more sugar"!
good show, no bullshit!

i saw them at the Auditorium theater in chicago in 1973, hmm, how can you be in two places at once........

I forgot 1973.
um...also, I forgot 1973.
Was there a 1973?

Amazingly, this is still funny and relevant...Long live Firesign!
First heard Ben Bland on late night radio: Laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath. "The soon-to-be-constructed Slagheap Nuclear Energy Plant1"

"Zion, Oh Mighty Zion! There is no one to BLAME!"
I have been a fan since I was 13 years old when my brother turned me on to Bozos. Firesign Theatre is the master of creative surreal comedy.
It isn't that they dont have anything to say
They just don't have the trained skills to say it
"Can you state that as a question?" "Why sho Mr. President! Where can I get a job??"
“Thank you, Ed. This is Peter Protector & I’m down in Duck Town, in the rain right in front of the former Edward Bozo Building, now the TransBonzo multi mega structure at the corner of 186,000th & Sewer in the entrails of the city at the end of Phuckem Mall.”
Uckem mall
Premium 66- my favorite brand.
On a hankie!
Some years ago I shared the YEST sequence to some hard core est fanatics. They were not amused.
Are there STILL hard core est fanatics? Sacre Merde!

One of the lessor known, but great albums!
The Firesign Theater documented a generation. I miss them.
I love singed squirrels.

Still Love these guys .....a lot of every-bodies

History will determine this to be a classic!
start at 19:00 for the clips I listed below.
"We can't sell it! Let's change the name on the crate and send it down to that Indian school with the melted crayons..."
"But we won't take the Irish...'
"Good Lord: a stiff idiot is the worst kind..."
18:59 - cracks me up still
If it weren't for dope, I'd gone crazy all those years."
Peggy Blisswhips may be one of the best names ever.
" ..off-shoiled boil workers" ..lol
It's a Thanksgiving tradition.
Damn! I discovered the Podesta files!
Starting at 8:03 ....I'm rolling! Hahahahahahaha....too much, man.
Comedy at a time when things moved slower.
@ Unzar... time never moved slower... movement is just the illusion of time
Slower---or less fast? More fast slowly? Less faster?
At least on of them should have a green apple on their face , and over the fellow with a pipe should be printed "this is not a pipe " , and in the middle eating a live bird with the inscription "pleasure" . search Rene Magritte images .
Around 03:40 one of the actors sounds a lot like Tim Meadows.
@The Barbarian Infidel oh c'mon now. Those rumors of my adrenochrome consumption were solidly discredited.
'..bombs we dropped on the Gerries (WW 2 slang for Germans)."
Thank you popeye!
My pleasure
