=>At around 22min of part

Few years ago (2001), I
released the first version (Final by OO) which can be
get on the net under
many names and formats. That was the first version
avalaible but not the
best I could achieve.
This new one (Last Final Edition) is an upgrade from
the first one and the "Final" one
from this tape version.
*Enjoy this first
release
again for the
FZ fans pleasure
only!!
Peace and Love!

Disc 5
Frank Zappa on the Norman Gunston
TV show (January, 1976, ABC, Australia)
Lineage: Sattelite TV/VHS/Primative
USB Capture Card/MPEG1
transfer and comment by wazoo
in this interview Gunston & FZ
have a blues jam, (or jelly as Gunston assumes Americans might refer to it as)
with FZ on Guitar & Gunston on harmonica. Gunston closes his harmonica
vamp with the theme from the ABC news (ABC here like BBC or PBS).
(THEN)
July 2nd,
1973 ABC Australia, TV
(also listed as July 3rd, 1973)
48 min, PAL, A/A
(2nd gen)
From: Jon Naurin (naurin[at]mbox300.swipnet.se)
"Monday
conference", nice interviews & discussions with FZ, plus a
proshot
RDNZL from one of the Melbourne shows.
From: Jillis Stada
(stadaj[at]usoft.nl)
RDNZL rehearsal in Melbourne, June 29th 1973
5 min.
TV, B&W, A
Used in: 2 Jul 73 Monday Conference, ABC Australian
TV
From: JWB (mudshark[at]intergrafix.net)
Those are two different
television programs. "Monday Conference" was an
excellent panel show
appearance, which I have on tape. The conducting
segment is from an
unidentified talk show. That last entry belongs under a
different
heading.
I would like to add that the entire pro-shot RDNZL segment is
painfully out
of sync the entire time and therefore only truly enjoyable if
you either
close your eyes or shut off the sound. They show it in the
middle of the
interview, and much to my delight, FZ comments on the poor
sync job after
they return! He says something to the effect of "That wasn't
very
professional....."

Pat, I sourced this tape for trading & I
have 1st gen off the station
master. The date is definitely 2 July 1973.
What circulates out there is a
pre-broadcast version, before the usual
credit talkovers were added at the
end. Also, the footage is synced
correctly in places, notably part of the
guitar solo (this is a problem
with a lot of Australian 70's [at]live' footage
shot by the ABC).
Also,
about the [at]conducting the audience' segment from Video From Hell,
the
name of the source show was (I believe) Sigley In Adelaide, a
live
night-time format show hosted by Ernie Sigley, broadcast in early July
1973
(between the 4-6).
