This tape comes from my original master tape. I dubbed a copy for a friend of mine who lives out of the country. My original master of the show was lost during one of my many moves. I thought it was gone forever. Fortunately my friend reminded reminded me he had a copy of my master tape. I now present, the February 13, 1988 Tower Theatre show, taped from about the 8th row or so.
Unusual show in that Zappa played Bacon Fat with the original lyrics and it was the only appearance of Jezebel Boy on the tour.
Bad news was, I lost my microphone at the end of the show so I could not record the next nights show. Which was another classic for many reasons.

These kind of tours by these kinds of musicians are now long gone, so enjoy what is left of these musical moments, memories and the audience documentation of what really things sounded like onstage.
