On Wednesday, February 28, 1979, from 20:30 to 22:50, Frank Zappa and band played a concert in Hamburg, Germany. Below is a scan of the ticket, the tour poster, a playlist (in order of publication, not performance) and a newspaper article from that day (large and small). The article has at least three mistakes I can find. First, his name is Frank Vincent Zappa, he was only 38 at the time, and his new album name is Sheik Yerbouti. Enjoy!
That night, he played: Don't Eat the Yellow Snow
Nanook Rubs It
Father Oblivion
Cosmic Debris
St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
Uncle Remus
Stink-Foot
Inca Roads
Florentine Pogan
Andy
Honey, Don't You Want a Man Like Me?
Aside from those songs, he played some really old ones like "The Idiot Bastard Son" and "Brown Shoes Don't Make It", as well as some off of his then new LP, Sheik Yerbouti.
