BLEEDING ROMEO / YAMAHA HURRICANE / R.T.C.

The kit also contains a seven sheet double sided press release with articles about the event & Frank's career along with a map showing you how to get there. The kit is rounded off with a copy of 'Effenaar Bulletin' for December 1987 with a centre spread devoted to Mystery Day. I bet it was quite something and I only wish that I could have been there. Zappa did eventually make his last personal appearance in Holland in Rotterdam on the 4th & 5th of May 1988, by which time the tour band was already beginning to implode, causing Frank to call a premature end to the tour after the last European show. He was never to tour again) more...

FRANK ZAPPA European Tour: April 7th - June 9th (1988 US printed ring bound tour itinerary for what was to become the final leg of the ill fated 1988 tour. Frank had fielded one of the most versatile bands that he had ever taken on the road, capable of playing anything from his vast back catalogue with ease and able to dip into a repertiore of intense performances and change at the flick of a finger from the maestro himself into any other song of his choosing, whatever tempo or style. As ably documented in Andrew Greenaway's book 'Zappa The Hard Way', personal differences between members of the band and his own fatigue caused Frank to call off what was to have been the last leg of the tour across the Central and Western United States. It turned out that the gig on June 9th in Genoa became the last gig that Frank and his amazing tour bands ever played. From the personal collection of the late Doug Lock, what we have here is a hand annotated itinerary listing the tour retinue, hotels, travel time and venue information for that critical final leg of the final amazing tour of 'The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life') more...
