Product Description
Frank Zappa's New York Halloween 1981 concerts were filmed Live at The Palladium. This 'thing' entitled "The Torture Never Stops" was created in its entirety by FZ from the original concert production and intended by the Artist as one of 3 Television Specials. This is the longest version of the three - the others, "You Are What You Is" and "Dumb All Over", having actually aired. ... Full Description Halloween was Frank Zappa's favorite holiday, and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! The billion and a half airings by MTV of the concerts (non-edited) followed on closely from the release of the double album "You Are What You Is" in September of that year on Frank Zappa's own recently founded and thoroughly independent label, Barking Pumpkin. 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 Torture Never Stops" cements Zappa's reputation as one of the most innovative and challenging composers and performers of the 20th century.
This 1981 Halloween show from music legend Frank Zappa contains a wealth of material from the double album YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS. Among the members of the backing band are Ray White, Tommy Mars, and Steve Vai. Hide Description

| FZ on MTV Once upon a time MTV actually had things worth seeing. This concert was the last thing I ever watched on MTV. Now you can own this treasure, and watch FZ and his band run through a few classics and tracks from "You Are What You Is". This belongs in every Zappa fan's home.
