A broadcast of the very first of Frank Zappas famed Halloween gigs from New York's Palladium Theatre (a yearly ritual for Zappa until he stopped performing). 

This show demonstrates just how important Frank Zappa had become as one of rock's most enduring innovators. 

Performed while promoting his Zoot Allures album, Frank had taken to the road with a band that can only be regarded as an all-star line up. 

Guitarist Adrian Belew would join Talking Heads, King Crimson, and eventually launch a successful solo career. Bassist Patrick O'Hearn and drummer Terry Bozzio would later spearhead the alternative act, Missing Persons, with Bozzios wife Dale; and keyboardist Peter Wolf (not the J. Geils Band vocalist) eventually became one of the most successful producers of the 1980s. 

Having passed away from prostate cancer more than 20 years ago, its easy to forget how entertaining he was as a performer. 

With recordings like this, however, the legacy of Frank Zappa will endure for decades to come.
