If you’ve ever wanted to be present at a Zappa rehearsal, to hear the in-jokes, the rough versions of songs, the relentless perfectionism of one merciless BandLeader – well, we’ve got something for you: a day of rehearsals at UMRK, August 12 1981.

Columbus ’70 Pt. II
Hey, who said the Friday boot should be available as of 9am? Here’s part II of the Nov 70 Columbus gig. Flo & Eddie – it’s something of an acquired taste, I suppose.
It Can Happen Here
Hello kids! Since I haven’t had a chance yet to listen to this week’s Friday boot, here’s a fun exercise for you: have a listen and get me the setlist! First correct applicant wins a month’s worth of free Kegelmaster usage. Have fun…
Update, half an hour later: the publisher has some time to spare and copy/pastes the setlist from here. He sincerely hopes he hasn’t fucked up.
Archive *This*!
There won’t be a Friday Boot this week I’m afraid. Instead, may I suggest you have a look at archive.org‘s rather huge collection of live music. No Zappa (!), but still, something there for everyone, I’m sure (teehee!).
Muthers In Detroit
This week’s offering is a real treat, dating back to April 10 ’68: The Mothers at The Grande Ballroom, Detroit (courtesy of Gilles). Enjoy, and don’t forget to eat your greens…
Boston Friday Some Moore
Hah! That Michael Moore sure is a naughty boy. In other news: Boston Pt. Two is up.
Boston Friday
As if you hadn’t noticed yet, there’s a new concert up for your listening pleasure: Boston, Feb 20 ’88. This one’s a moderately heavy download, so I can’t assure it’ll be up all week…
Friday!
Moo World Order, in a breathtaking essay, discovers new conceptual continuity! Meanwhile, elsewhere…
Good Friday
It’s that time of the week again where I gloriously fail at conjuring up a funny way to introduce the Friday Boot.
So there. How’s that?
Todos Madrileos
On March 14, 1979, Frank Zappa played Pabellon de Deportes, Madrid, Spain.
Update: bonus stuff for you HP readers – what happens when Portland General Electric asks FZ to feature in a commercial?
Thanks for the patience
Paris, 17/9/84 (II) is up.
