"and multi-tasking on the plane by writing liner notes for a new Zappa release.
oh, I should have mentioned it a new box set all 6 shows from halloween at the palladium in new york, 1978. 18 hours worth!
it's the shows the Baby Snakes movie was made from."

This looks excellent

Those would be the 1977 shows I believe.

Me wants!

there are supposed to be two box sets coming in 2017. This would be just what the doctor ordered.
There has also been talk of a Grand Wazoo/Waka Jawake set which would be nice.
