FRANK ZAPPA / ROYAL OAK 1988: COMPLETE 3 NIGHTS (6CDR)

This release marks the first-ever complete recording of the three consecutive shows held in Royal Oak, Michigan—on February 26, 27, and 28—during Frank Zappa's final US tour in 1988. Although there are a few minor cuts, all three performances are captured in their entirety via audience recordings that offer superb sound quality for the era. The setlists varied significantly across the three nights, featuring rotating covers of songs by artists such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Allman Brothers Band. We highly recommend this title, which documents the final tour of Zappa's lifetime!
