For live stuff, Roxy & Elsewhere is reasonably tame. & Apostrophe is fairly tame, as well (definitely NOT Mothers At The Fillmore 1971 )

After his injury (when he was thrown off a stage by an irate fan in London in 1971; leaving Frank wheelchair bound for quite some time), a majority of those subsequent albums between '72-'73 are largely instrumental albums (made up of work that had already been recorded & left off earlier albums). There's really not much of Frank Zappa's work that IS "family friendly" (he was pretty much public enemy #1 of Tipper Gore's wanting to have rating system for album lyrical content)


Ok, now back to Fleetwood Mac.
