Full Show Friday | Frank Zappa In Munich 1978

We'd like to think we've seen it all when it comes to circulating Frank Zappa video, but we were unaware of an hour of pro-shot FZ live and off-stage footage from 1978 that was aired on German TV under the title "We Don't Mess Around." The concert film/documentary was filmed during Zappa's rehearsals at Circus Krone on September 8, 1978.
In this special Frank's band finds him joined by the impressive lineup of Ike Willis, Denny Walley, Arthur Barrow, Tommy Mars, Peter Wolf, Ed Mann and Vinnie Colaiuta. BR (Bayerischer Rundfunk) filmed the band in action and interviewed Zappa for a piece that was shown on German TV in 1980 and rebroadcast in 1996.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
