Tech Notes Zappateers put a lot of work into this release, as with all their shows, so below is the full txt file to give you an idea:

"Frank Zappa
Grugahalle
Essen, (West) Germany
1976 02 19

~~ From 2 sources, both unknown gen audience tapes ~~

There were two different sources available for this show:
A) covering the first 90 min of the show, except Incan Art and the beginning of Stinkfoot. Stereo, but rather indistinct and echoey.
B) covering the last 90 min. Mono, but overall better, so I used this as main source.
