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.

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.

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

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.

Thanks for sharing this - an historic moment!!!

An epic concert & nice recording. A question for Denny. Do you have more shows of F.Zappa & The Mothers recorded, by chance?

Epic Indeed! Thank you for whipping this on us.
