Splendid research tool. This is part the first in what promises to be many more volumes includiong. but not limited to,
- all official discographic info, including scans of the* record labels themselves and all known international variations
- Bootlegs produced that contain FZ music etc for the given period
- a synopsis of ALL KNOWN SHOWS, song by song perrformed, with,
- a word for word transcript of Frank's extemporaneous addresses, song by song, show by show . . .
- videograhy of the period, official, commercial and otherwise
AND MORE!!!
plus the author's a really nice guy!
No plot, not a story with little dots for periods, but a chronology, an account (with pictures!!! -) with this as just one part of a very long, very big note whose heirs continue to poot forth in - you guessed it, different unexpected directions. No, Scott is not an official heir but I think he deserves the label for his difficult and fidelity filled work. Thanks man!
