Stage dark and empty save for a stool and a single spot. FZ steps out, says "I don't feel like f*&*ing around tonight", sits on the stool and plays guitar for several hours with band in shadows providing backing. Encore: Capt. Beefheart steps from the shadows and they do Willie The Pimp, only vocal of the night. Tremendous special show!!! Wish I had a copy

Early show

10 min, SBD, B+
The SBD starts in the the "Advanced Be Bop Jazz Session" improvisation and ends during the beginning of You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here.
Before the discovering of the Aud recording, the SBD was paired with the Aud recording now listed as the late show.
