[quote author=Sofa#3 link=board=concerts;num=1059811340;start=0#0 date=08/02/03 at 01:02:20]I was browsing the FZShows site, and it was obvious that Zappa's concerts varied hugely in length. I was wondering if anyone knew, off the top of thier head, which shows hold the records for being the LONGEST or SHORTEST. I'd love to know  ;)[/quote]<br><br>The Lille, France '82 concert was very short indeed: cancelled after soundcheck. Horrendous sound!

Oh yes, that 78 run of shows are really legendary! And i had prefered a copmlete Cd release of one show to a sampler DVD-A of only 13 pieces! <br><br>Wasnt the "Geneva farewell"- incident on YCDTOSA 5 also a very short show? At least we know: longest show was 1978, shortest in 1982.

[/quote]<br>For FZ, the '82 tour was a disaster: concert cancelled after soundcheck in Lille, troubles in Geneva, Kiehl, Mannheim (and other locations?),  riot in Palermo   <br>So my question is: what the heck was wrong in Europe in 1982?

many gripes about the Halloween DVD-A.<br><br>I also have the entire 4 cd show.<br><br> And I would have rather had a two, or 3 cd soundboard release instead of the DVD-A, although FZ always was on top of technology.<br>  The DVD-A has a "best of" feel to it.<br>There were many unique songs recorded that night, Dweezil and Joe could have choose some of the "off tunes" of the show.<br><br>I wish they would have stuck to the "FZ BUILT REEL"
