someone knows where can i find the dvds?

BACK IN THE '70s, we'd pile six to eight people in a van, check the gas and oil, and head off to a show. This one was Frank Zappa and the Mothers at the Augusta Civic Center.

Halfway through the show, a fan tossed a beer bottle and hit Frank in the shoulder, hard. The house lights went on, the fan was caught, and the show was canceled. We returned to our room at the Holiday Inn next door. While getting ice, we ran into Frank and invited him to our room. Frank and the band ended up in our room for the night, jamming until sunrise and drinking all our beer.

There may have been more tunes played; this is all I remember. The Grateful Dead were playing across the street at the Anderson Theater. A Hell's Angel approached me, scaring the crap out of me. All he wanted was if I was interesting in buying a ticket to see the Dead. I told him I'm seeing Frank Zappa.
He replied," if the Dead weren't playing, I'd be seeing Zappa too." The sound at the Fillmore was excellent! I lost count on people coming up to me on the street and saying "wanna buy some acid?" lol!

I was half-way out the door, after Whipping Post. I thought the show was over. I ran back when I heard
the opening notes of Watermelon In Easter Hay. The sound was horrible, mainly on the vocals. All in all, I was quite pleased with the show. I never thought at the time this was going to be the last tour.

I loved this show, sat on bleachers, heard some of his best horn playing, I think that Sal Marquez was in the band also. I have only seen this show in bits and pieces as a download, it would be my dream to get the whole one.

Ruth and Ian and the Fowlers were there, Zappabase says Duke, Just don't remember, but I do remember the Green Genes, Montana and Uncle Meat and King Fuckin' Kong.

The Ritz '81. I saw a lot of incredibly strange & wonderful shows in that venue. I sort of recall one where the band played the entire show with their backs to the audience.
I think it was PIL or someone like that - so long ago and lots of stimulants involved at the time.
