"Saw Zappa at the Chicago Auditorium Theatre way back in 88. Guest appearance by a guy named Mr. Sting, ..."There's a soundboard bootleg of that show floating around. You should be able to find it with google.

Saw Zappa at the Chicago Auditorium Theatre way back in 88. He played there every Mothers Day. The live version of Illinois Enema Bandit rocked.

"We're Out To Get You" from
Good Singin' Good Playin'.
Frank produced that album and added the line "I think I'll join the Navy" to the out-choruses of the song "Miss My Baby."
