You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 2 is a live album by Frank Zappa. Despite the title, the album is not one complete concert, but was, in fact, assembled from two (and possibly three) different concerts performed in Helsinki in 1974. Before compact discs became the dominant format, the You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore series was originally planned to be released as ten LPs, possibly in a box. The vinyl series would have comprised what was later released as Volumes One, Three and Four of the series, while Volume Two was originally planned as a double album release titled The Helsinki Tapes, a title more accurately reflecting the fact that the album was comprised of performances from more than one show.
The track listing is similar to that of Roxy & Elsewhere, as are the core band personnel. The performance includes a double-speed version of "Village of the Sun", sandwiched between an early version of "RDNZL" and "Echidna's Arf (Of You)", and "Montana (Whipping Floss)" — a spontaneously rewritten version of "Montana", following an audience member's request for the Allman Brothers Band's "Whipping Post". The guitar solo in the One Size Fits All version of "Inca Roads" is an edited extract of the solo presented here.
