Terje,

I haven’t been to too many big name rock shows in my life. Only Heep, Rush , Yes, Nugget and a few others , but somehow I managed to see Zappa .
I couldn’t miss that , what a treat , what a show !
Zappa was on stage like an orchestra conductor, with his stick conducting his band, then he would turn around and start a snarly guitar solo or, sing, Never a dull moment , so many band members, so many themes , tempo and complex timing , how they all kept spot on was amazing .
Don
