THE MOTHER OF INVENTION MEETS THE VELVET REVOLUTION


  • the mother of invention meets the velvet revolution
    (2005, 2dvdr-promo, czech republic, czech frank zappa fan club)
I have talked about this DVDR-set previously, but I had never actually seen it, so I was very glad to get a copy (of the third pressing) a couple of months ago.

"The Mother Of Invention Meets The Velvet Revolution" covers Zappa's visit to Prague in 1990.
It includes fragments of FZ's arrival, the Prague visit, the CZ Fan Club meeting, the meeting with Václav Havel, the Plastik People Of The Universe, Michal Kocáb, and more.
The commentary is part in english and part in czech as the recording combines amateur and TV footage.

Transfer was done from Vasek Penkava's originals. You won't see it in better quality anywhere else.

At least part of this historical documentary got upped to Zappateers a couple of years ago.

The complete package (plus a t-shirt) is available from the Czech Frank Zappa Fan Club.
