    My friend and I saw Zappa in Ft Lauderdale twice in one night when we had bought tickets and then won another pair on the radio for the later show
    . We did not realize just how lucky we were. He was in top form.

    had the wonderful opportunity to see Frank Zappa play Sydney and Brisbane in 1973. His band included everyone from the Overnight Sensation album including George Duke and the enigmatic Ruth Underwood. The most impressionable concerts I have seen so far in my life

      Yeah. I am impressed you understood it. The Spaghetti Tree was a commercial when I was a child and it first threw me, therefore was memorable forever. Those are things I enjoy finding so they can be incorporated into another place where it can confuse others in a new way or to remind them of reasons that the best TV is an unplugged one.

    Frank is generally considered to be a rocker. And rock is part of his work.
    But Frank was more into what is known in the jazz world as "fusion,"
    His music was often a fusion of different styles of music,and instruments, not common to the rock genre. "Montana," is a good example of this fusion.
    Frank was also an artist on canvas. Well, maybe canvas. But if you ever have a picture, done by Frank Zappa, you might want to hang onto it for a spell.

That was from a Dental Convention hosted in Montana at the State Fair in Helena and a display created by dental floss makers trying to make a buck. It was hosted on a Wednesday after Prince played there to Tuesday prior.
