It’s a well-known fact that in Zappa history, Halloween was not only FZ’s favorite holiday, but also a concert tradition in New York City. Every year, Zappa would play a run of shows over multiple nights during the Halloween holiday. The annual event grew in popularity over the years, culminating in a huge film event in 1977 (See “Baby Snakes - The Movie”) with its peak happening in 1978. Frank’s interaction with his New York audience is stuff of legend and the shows during 1978 reached a fever-pitch.

 

“This is the BIG ONE” Zappa said as he addressed the crowd in his opening monologue. And it was, for even though the tradition continued as the touring years went on, after 1978 the pace changed. There were no Halloween shows in 1979, and during 1980 FZ unfortunately got sick and couldn’t get through the scheduled shows, causing cancellations. By 1981, although two shows were videotaped with a live broadcast on the then newly established MTV, the attitude and approach seemed to have a different feel, with more of a constructed atmosphere and less audience participation. 1978’s Halloween spectacle seemed to be the peak of an era.

 

This 1CD set features excerpted performances from the 10-31-78 show – newly mixed and mastered - with booklet showcasing rare photos by Lynn Goldsmith and bespoke artwork.

A Durable and Convenient Protection Solution
Color: Green Orange
One of the most impressive attributes of these cases is their lightweight yet durable construction. The material feels robust and dependable, shielding my device from scratches, minor impacts, and everyday wear and tear. Despite this durability, the cases remain slim and non-bulky, preserving the device's original profile—a feature I deeply appreciate for maintaining portability and elegance. Another commendable aspect is the precise fit of the cases. Each case snugly wraps around the device, ensuring a secure grip and seamless alignment with buttons, ports, and camera cutouts. This level of precision adds to the ease of use and demonstrates a high attention to detail in the manufacturing process. Additionally, having two cases in one pack offers excellent value. It allows you to switch between them as needed or have a backup readily available. This small yet thoughtful feature adds a layer of convenience that sets this product apart from other single-case offerings.

Fits great
Color: Green
After my grandson keep bee lining for the remote, dropped it, which made a teeny chip in it-I decided to try a cover! This is really nice. It fits great. It has a nice grippy feel to it and now it's protected. We bought the lime green one, so now we can find it a lot easier as well as having it looking pretty sleek. It a great cover.

Much better fitting
Color: White
Had to buy 2 of these cases because the first one was so well done. I bought another brand and it was such a loose fit. These are awesome!

As advertised
Color: Green Orange
Did exactly what they needed. Made the remote slightly larger so it is easier to use and less slippery.

Pretty good...
Color: Red
Red color is kind of an orange-red. Hm... Came with some kind of dust on it. Once cleaned off it's not as slippery, yet still slips on just fine. Protects the remote - and your hands from the remote's hard edges. The raised bumps on the back make it easier to pickup - without digging your fingernails into cushions or carpets as you "scoop."
