    I also was there at Hovet as a teen. Actually my 2nd concert watching Zappa at the very same arena. My father, who were a big big fan of Zappa took me there both times. Per, my father who were a member of swedish progband Kebenekaise also got to go to the afterparty from this show would never stop braggin about it.
    Love Zappa...

    I attended that very concert - Johanneshov isstadion, Stockholm.
    I remeber Frank reading (mispronouncing) their name from a piece of paper he took from the pocket. Nobody had ever heard of Mats and Morgan so we didn't get why they were there in the first place. But we enjoyed it all the same.
