SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 1968 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - EUROPEAN TOUR ORIGINAL 16 PAGES { EACH PAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 10 3/4 X 10 1/2 INCHES USING A LATE 60'S EUROPEAN METRIC CHICKEN TO MEASURE IT } AND LEMME TELL YA', THOSE LATE 60'S EURO CHICKENS ARE HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS AND THE SAME IS TRUE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THIS IS IN MY OPINION THE MOST COOL AND RAREST MOTHERS OF INVENTION / FRANK ZAPPA PROGRAM EVER MADE. CHECK THIS OUT: THE PROGRAM DESIGN IS BY THE FAMOUS GERMAN ARTIST GUNTHER KIESER - THIS TOUR WAS IN SUPPORT OF THE "WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY" ALBUM THAT HAD RECENTLY BEEN RELEASED. THERE WERE ONLY 11 CONCERTS PERFORMED DURING THIS TOUR { 2 SHOWS AT THE CONCERTGEBOUW, IN AMSTERDAM }, BUT THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL THE SHOWS DURING THIS TOUR WAS THE 10-16-68 SPORTPALAST BERLIN, GERMANY SHOW WHICH WAS THE INFAMOUS HOLIDAY IN BERLIN CONCERT WHERE A RIOT BROKE OUT AND ABOUT WHICH FRANK LATER WROTE THE SONG "HOLIDAY IN BERLIN". THAT'S RIGHT, AND THE PROGRAMS THAT WERE AVAILABLE AT THAT SHOW WAS THIS PROGRAM. SO NOT ONLY IS IT SUPER COOL AND RARE, BUT HAS SOME HISTORICAL ZAPPA SIGNIFICANCE - THEREFOREIF YOU'RE A VINTAGE CONCERT PROGRAM COLLECTOR, A FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION COLLECTOR, OR MAYBE JUST
A GEEZER LOOKING TO SPEND SOME RETIREMENT MONEY BEFORE BITING THE BIG ONE, LOOK NO FURTHER - OK LARRY?
ARE YOU MERELY AN OLD GEEZER WHO CAN STILL REMEMBER YOUR NAME AND REMEMBERS THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION CONCERT TOURS? YEAH, THINGS WERE SURE DIFFERENT THEN. THE MOTHERS WERE ALIVE AND TOURING AS WELL AS RELEASING NEW ALBUMS.THE NEW FREE LOVE MOVEMENT MADE INSERTION FEES CHEAP, FREE IN SOME CASES, ALTHOUGH PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU LARRY. WELL AT LEAST THEY WERE A LOT CHEAPER THAN YOU HAD TO PAY LATER ON
.
WELL FOLKS, THOSE DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER, AND YOU'LL PROBABLY BE BITING THE BIG ONE SOON ANYWAY. SO RELIVE THOSE GOLDEN YEARS WITH A 100% AUTHENTIC MOTHERS OF INVENTION CONCERT PROGRAM FROM THIS HISTORIC TOUR. HEY, IT'LL PROBABLY BE WORTH A LOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU PAID FOR IT ONE DAY.
BUT BY THEN YOU WOULDA' PROBABLY ALREADY CROAKED, AND ALL YOU'D BE LOOKING TO BUY IS SOME AIR CONDITIONING.
SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 1968 EUROPEAN 16 PAGE TOUR PROGRAM WITH ART BY FAMOUS GERMAN ARTIST GUNTHER KIESER LOOKS COOL. ALSO CALLED BY SOME THE "HOLIDAY IN BERLIN" TOUR PROGRAM, BECAUSE IT WAS AVAILABLE AT THE FAMOUS 10-16-68 SPORTPALAST BERLIN CONCERT WHERE A RIOT BROKE OUT THAT FRANK WROTE A SONG ABOUT. THERE'S A CREASE ON THE FRONT PAGE YOU CAN EASILY SEE IN THE PHOTOS WITHOUT HAVING TO PUT ON YOUR GEEZER STYLE READING GLASSES. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S REALLY NICE AND HAS HELD UP WELL OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS.
IT'S PRINTED ON SOME GREAT QUALITY GLOSSY PAPER.
NO TEARS. BASICALLY THIS HISTORIC CONCERT PROGRAM BELONGS IN A MUSEUM, OR AT THE VERY LEAST A HARD ROCK CAFE AND JUST MIGHT BE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY ONE DAY. BUT BY THEN YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ALREADY CROAKED AND ALL YOU'D BE LOOKING TO BUY THEN IS SOME AIR CONDITIONING.
FREE PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING IN THE USA. PERFECT FOR THAT OLD HIPPIE WHO THINKS THAT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FREE. WELL AT LEAST THE SHIPPING WILL BE.
HERE'S THE DEAL ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I DON'T USE THE GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM AND FILL OUT THE CUSTOMS FORMS MYSELF. SO THAT JUST MIGHT MEAN THAT THE GOVERNMENT, QUEEN, KING, DICTATOR / TYRANT IN YOUR COUNTRY MIGHT NOT TRY TO COLLECT SOME OUTRAGEOUS IMPORT TAX, WITH FAILURE TO PAY IN SOME CASES I'VE HEARD RESULTING IN A BUNCH OF GUYS WEARING TRENCH COATS AND SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT ARRIVING AT YOUR HOUSE 'ROUND MIDNITE TO TAKE YOU AWAY SCREAMING FOR A RIDE ON THE IRON SAUSAGE. OK LARRY?
