In 1988, Frank Zappa undertook what was to become his final tour. Always politically-minded the election year trek found the veteran musician providing voter registration areas at his U.S. concerts and political and social commentary in the performances themselves. Although he had intended to be on the road for much of that year, a trip to Europe that summer with his band marked the end of his touring days. His final U.S. performance, Zappa ’88: The Last U.S. Show is culled from a performance in Uniondale, New York on March 25 of that year. We’ll hear selections from that release as well as music from Epilogue: The Cellar Tapes, a new collection of recordings from the late Don Williams.
