Richard, I have been doing a some digging locally on this show and have posted my results at http://www.theblackdog.org/gd-bpo - It was actually written up in the Buffalo news a couple of weeks ago. There's a reprint of the article on my homepage. I actually received a number or responses to it from people that were there but they didn't shed any new light on this event.
According to Bear, the show was not taped (he would have but he was confined to the state of California for the New Orleans bust). I've given up on finding a recording, I highly doubt there is one since it can be very difficult to record an Orchestra because of payment scales and rights and stuff (see Zappa's autobiography) but I'm still trying to find at least one picture of the event. If you find anything else out or if anyone here can share any more info, please let me know.
