Notes
  • JGMF: Feel Your Oats, and Race Back to Eat Them: JGB opening for Frank Zappa, UIC Pavilion, University of Illinois Chicago, August 18, 1984
  • FZ recalled "we were the opening act and I didn't see any of his set", from a 1984 interview.
  • review: [positive] Van Matre 1984: says the opening / closing slots were determined by a coin flip, with Zappa headlining. [He got the ad imagery before the fact, too.] Van Matre likes both of the "aggressively unfashionable" acts, finding Garcia "capable of conjuring up a kind of sweet, stoned, meandering magic with his music that has lasting appeal".
