Frank Zappa's fall 1975 touring schedule brought him to two cities in Yugoslavia, marking the first and only time he played shows in that country.?

Like its immediate predecessor, Waka/Jawaka, The Grand Wazoo was a largely instrumental jazz rock album recorded during Frank Zappa's convalescence from injuries sustained after being pushed off a concert stage.

A busy year for Frank Zappa, in 1984 the musician, composer and performer released four new albums. Boulez Conducts Zappa: The Perfect Stranger; Them Or Us; Francesco Zappa; and the four-record set, Thing Fish. In addition to this, Zappa found time for two legs of an American tour and a European Tour all of which ran from July to December. The first five concerts Frank Zappa performed in 1984 took place at the Palace Theater in Los Angeles, between 17th and 22nd July. Of these shows, the penultimate date on 21st July 1984 was recorded for live FM broadcast, and it is this show that is now released on this new 2 CD set.

When Frank Zappa found himself stuck in a wheelchair for most of the year 1972 (after a "fan" pushed him off the stage in December of the previous year), he relieved his band (including singers Flo & Eddie) of its duties and turned to studio work.
