Even More Random Zappadan

This is Frank Zappa's last full tour as a rock musician. He had assembled an incredible band of associates from past projects: Ike Willis, Mike Keneally, Scott Thunes, Chad Wackerman, Ed Mann, Bobby Martin, Bruce Fowler, Walt Fowler, Paul Carman, Albert Wing, Kurt McGettrick and of course, Mr. Zappa on guitar and vocals and conducting this little orchestra. This performance is from May 17, 1988 at the Palacio de Deportes in Barcelona.
A couple of pretty interesting covers, Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers, a startling rendition of I Am The Walrus by a band called The Beatles and a really amazing arrangement of Ravel's Bolero. A Truly Grand Wazoo of a show! Enjoy.....

    I saw him do I Am The Walrus at Royal Oak Music Theater. The version of Black Napkins he does with this line-up is his best.
