Frank Zappa - 1978 - Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK - January 25th.

Recorded on January, 25th - 1978 at The Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK. This tour was the so-called Winter Tour 78 in Europe, which ran from January 24 to February 28, 1978. The tour consisted of 26 concerts, played in 20 cities in 8 countries. The total number of songs performed during the tour was 33, averaging around 19 songs per show. The first 4 and the last concerts took place at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, England. Next to Frank Zappa, the band consisted of drummer Terry Bozzio, bass player Patrick O’Hearn, guitar player Adrian Belew and keyboard players Tommy Mars and Peter Wolf. The music was heavy and geared toward rock. The tour is regarded as a favorite tour among the many Zappa fans, particularly because of the guitar solos Zappa played. Not too many, but when he did solo its level was exceptional. Much (almost 70%!) of the music that was played was new for the audience at the time. Zappa In New York was released 3 days after the tour ended, on March 3, 1978. And the setlist contained songs that would be released one year after that (March 3, 1979) on Sheik Yerbouti, two songs would end up (in altered form) on Joe’s Garage (also released in 1979). Envelopes would be released in 1982. Frank Zappa played London's Hammersmith Odeon five times in 1978: on 24, 25, 26 & 27 January 1978 and on 28 February 1978. The 25, 26 & 27 January 1978 and 28 February 1978 concerts provided the source for the basic tracks for Zappa's 1979 album Sheik Yerbouti.
