FRANK ZAPPA - THE BEST DAYS

  • frank zappa: the best days
        (2022, 8cd, --, laser media)
Earlier this year, "The Best Days" showed up in several stores.
It's an 8 CD radio show collection of Frank Zappa concerts.

The set comes in a dvd-sized fold-out digipak.
The back side of the package gives the track-lists and the (incorrect) year for each CD.

Fortunately, the discogs entry gives some help:

CD1: 1978-09-09 Knebworth House Open Air Festival, Stevenage, UK
CD2: 1981-10-31 Palladium, New York, NY (early and late show)
CD3: 1981-10-31 Palladium, New York, NY (early and late show)
CD4: 1975-10-01 War Memorial Gymnasium, Vancouver, Canada
CD5: 1975-10-01 War Memorial Gymnasium, Vancouver, Canada
CD6: 1974-11-23 Jenison Fieldhousse, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI
CD7: 1969-02-23 Rockpile, Toronto, Canada (early show)
CD8: 1980-10-13 Celebrity Theatre, Phoenix, AZ (early show)

And it doesn't end here.
I'm convinced that better sounding copies of these shows are circulating (and can be found on the Zappateers site).
Add to this that certain tracks have been omitted and/or cut, and that there are pauses between the tracks, and you'll understand that this is an album you'll only need if you collect these sort of things.
