Excellent!  I love 200 Motels. Smile

Maybe they'll release the concert as a CD and/or DVD.  Sometime before I die.

I wish i had 200 motels, there is not way of getting a copy without dropping at least a hundred bucks.

Is it going to be part of their current reissue campaign?

I assume it's supposed to be, as the new reissues have release numbers on the spine of each album. Official release #13 is conspicuously missing, but I assume the ZFT is having issues getting the rights to the music, as it's under MGM, but isn't UME (Universal) part of MGM or vis versa? and if RYKO could release it, why can't UME?

I have to say the Zappa classical stuff I have heard hasn't impressed me much, but hey.  I'm a Debussy guy, so there you go.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
