I saw three shows on this
I saw three shows on this tour, two at the Warner Theater in D.C., and then the show at Towson State University's fieldhouse. They busted out "Let's Make The Water Turn Black" at Towson State. Loved the big horn section. The best band you never heard in your life.

Hot Tuna opened this show if I remember correctly. Always thought that was an odd pairing.

I recorded the Cleveland and
I recorded the Cleveland and Columbus shows.
3rd row center in Columbus. 60 minutes was filming for a future spot on the show.
Sherrod Brown was Ohio's Secretary of State at the time and he spoke to the audience about signing up to vote.
Frank's employee, Jerry from the merch department, spied my buddy with the recording rig.
They exchanged contact info and ended up trading tapes of shows.
Of course, Frank loathed bootleggers. No money was exchanged.

The Nassau 88 Zappa show was
The Nassau 88 Zappa show was my first and only Frank show. I remember Paul Kantner was supposed to play with Hot Tuna but couldn't make it. Hot Tuna rattled the house. Long Island was a thick nest of Zappa and Tuna fans back then. The place raged that night.
Frank stopped the show to let everyone know how to register to vote.

Here's a few more details on
Here's a few more details on the new release from Rolling Stone:

Couple of bonus tracks with the Nassau set, including Stairway To Heaven from the Towson show I saw two nights before, which was my last time seeing Frank.
I was curious as to why this band broke up in Europe before they could come back for the 2nd half of the U.S. tour, and found this inciteful discussion:

The Scott Thunes mutiny, Frank's health, and a few other lurid allegations all in the mix. Frank took a $400,000 hit canceling the rest of the tour.
