Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (') & Over-nite Sensation (Classic Album)
"Frank Zappa's New York Halloween 1981 concerts were filmed Live at The Palladium. Halloween was Frank Zappa's favorite holiday, and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! Much of the set list is drawn from that work. All Frank Zappa shows were unique experiences with Zappa on guitar and baton, leading his band on flights of improvisation and drawing ever more intense performances from them. 'The TortureNever Stops' cements Zappa's reputation as one of the most innovative and challenging composers and performers of the 20th century."
