I've owned Miles of Aisles for approx 30 years, but it was only today that I noticed the audience member requesting Whipping Post before the "Van Gogh" bit. (3:24)ย ย 

Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I thought I'd call attention to it for others as clueless as I.

I had to back it up to notice it. Yeah back in the 1970s people would yell Whipping Post at other band's concerts here and there and play all night too.ย 

Frank Zappa would just play it if they kept yelling.ย

I knew it was a running joke back then, I was just surprised that I'd never noticed it on an album I've had forever.

I, for one, would love to hear Joni's Metheny/Pastorius lineup tackle Whipping Post, come to think of it. ๐Ÿ™‚ย
