Was the Grand Wazoo like The Wall Of Sound, intriguing, but ultimately impractical for touring?

Sort of, Dave, not easy to tour with twenty musicians. 

 Grand Wazoo Tour

The Grand Wazoo was Frank Zappa's name for his band that toured in September of 1972. He used this name on stage and in the "Reprise Circular", but ads for the tour billed the concerts as being performed by "Frank Zappa", "The Mothers Of Invention", "The Mothers", and/or "Hot Rats".

The twenty musicians in the Grand Wazoo band were:

Jay Migliori--flute, saxophone, clarinet

Mike Altschul--piccolo, bass clarinet

Ray Reed--saxophone, clarinet

Charles Owens--saxophone, clarinet

Joann Caldwell McNab--bassoon

Earle Dumler--oboe

Jerry Kessler--cello

Malcolm McNab--trumpet

Sal Marquez--trumpet

Tom Malone--tuba

Bruce Fowler--trombone

Glenn Ferris--trombone

Ken Shroyer--trombone

Ian Underwood--synthesizer

Jim Gordon--drums

Dave Parlato--bass

Tony Duran--slide guitar

Tom Raney--percussion

Ruth Underwood--percussion

Frank Zappa--guitar

The Petit Wazoo Tour

The Petit Wazoo was the nickname of Frank Zappa's band that toured in October, November, and December of 1972. It was not their official name; publicity for the tour billed the concerts as being performed by "Frank Zappa" and/or "The Mothers Of Invention". FZ did not refer to the band as the Petit Wazoo on any of the concert tapes I have heard. However, he did use the name in a 1989 interview.

For many years, no Petit Wazoo recordings were officially released.

Thirty-three years later, the Zappa Family Trust released a Petit Wazoo CD, entitled Imaginary Diseases! And there's also one Petit Wazoo track on One Shot Deal.
