Recorded by yours truly on a portable Sony reel-to-reel that I smuggled into the event. Comment by UncleRemus Epic Indeed! Thank you for whipping this on us. 2023-09-16T14:29:37Z Comment by Al Fresco An epic concert & nice recording. A question for Denny. Do you have more shows of F.Zappa & The Mothers recorded, by chance? 2023-07-18T22:11:46Z Comment by peach Thanks for sharing this - an historic moment!!! 2023-07-07T01:30:59Z Comment by paul Nice 1 2023-07-04T18:57:01Z Comment by Jim Matthews This is great; thanks for sharing 2023-07-04T04:03:47Z Comment by Royale with Cheese As Frank recorded virtually everything, there's a good chance this is in the Vault. Hopefully UMe and the crew working in that goldmine will dig this up and put it out in great sound. 2023-07-04T01:14:52Z Comment by Blindhead Not that I am any good at this, but can you make it downloadable or send for mastering? Did you do anything to it before posting? THANK YOU 2023-06-25T21:30:59Z Comment by Stijn Peeters The solo in "King Kong" is fantastic! 2023-06-25T13:34:10Z Comment by Jim Duckworth Wow. Thank you so much! I had come to accept that I would never hear a recording of this show after reading about it for nearly 50 years. 2023-06-23T14:36:05Z Comment by Jim Warshauer This is amazing. I was there , at age 14, my first concert on my own. I hunted for years for a recording and did not believe that one existed. I was up in the balcony for this show. 2023-06-23T12:28:56Z Comment by Peter Harrington Thank you so much, I am so curious about how back in the day you smuggled in a reel to reel and where you found a place to plug it in. Awesome show!!! 2023-06-22T23:30:18Z Comment by Jon Keliehor How wonderfully devious. Glad for the smuggling! 2023-06-22T17:48:36Z Comment by Kirk Bowie Russell This made my day. I can't believe this exists! 2023-06-22T02:12:54Z Comment by Larry Hudspeth I heard about this but never knew this recording existed! Awesome! 2023-06-22T00:01:40Z Comment by Jack Hope III I would love to download a copy of this if possible. Can you post it somewhere to torrent? I assume you have a FLAC available? Epic recording 2023-06-21T23:48:02Z Comment by Ferrara Thank you for this. I'm sure I would have been at this concert if I was just a little bit older. I first heard Zappa's music on WBCN in 1970 at age 12, so I didn't get to see him till 1971by which time the original Mothers had sadly disbanded. This is my favorite era of Frank's music. 2023-06-21T21:00:35Z Comment by Wolfbuerth50 Thank you for this recording.
