I got a (bad VHS) copy of that 1988 Barcelona Show and its just super fantastique! The Band is funny, Zappa is in very good moods, and anyway... Here are the reasond why we need this on DVD:<br><br>1. We need DVDs anyway, so<br>2. We need more of the fantastic 1988 band, because<br>3. they played Packard Goose, Sharleena, Watermelon,<br>    Love Of MY Life, Aint Got No Heart, The Walrus, a<br>    different Big Swifty and Black Napkins = all are not<br>    yet released on CD or somewhere else<br>4. this era is not coverd yet by other official visual  <br>    releases<br>5. since it was a spanish TV broadcast it is already cut<br>    and edited to a showable degree<br> <br>any more reasons or am I wrong here?!

It´s so funny. <br>The guitar solo on Black Page #2. <br>The part where Frank is holding the Reagan puppet head by the nose and twirling it around. <br>Watching almost colourless VHS copies sucks ass.

Yes, please. I've seen this and it's a very entertaining show with good production.

Cuz it's such a pain in the booty to download it from the net.  <br><br>I'd rather pay $30 and have a good quality version.

I would like to see a whole Frank Zappa live gig. I've heard storys and it sounds like he was one of the greatest performers ever, I would like a chance to see it for myself.<br><br>Give us a Live DVD please.

What about the Halloween '81 show that was broadcast on MTV. That could be released as a live DVD could it not. That would also be good. And while we're on the subject, hows about "does humor belong in music" DVD and 200 Motels.

An official release of the Barcelona concert? Not impossible but unlikely  :'( I saw the first part of this gig: wonderful!!!

My copy has a cut (for a commercial) on one tune and ends with Illinois Enema Bandit.<br>I'd just be happy if the ZFT would release any videos<br>at this point. The Honker videos should be on dvd.<br>I'd also love to see the MTV'81 show on dvd.<br>This won't happen, but I'd also like to see video of the<br>orignal Mothers! (I wish that Appleton WI '69 show was<br>filmed. )

Yeah, just as it used to be, but still not.....

Because we don't have it and because some of us have never seen or heard any of it.

I have a crapy vcd version....would be nice to have a better version

I bought this off of Ebay.....it definitely could have better sound and picture, but it's much better than nothing.

breaks my heart to think of all Franks stuff sitting in a vault while everyones crazy to see it.<br>I'm 29 and maybe will get to see and hear this stuff before I croak but I feel for those who might not. <br>It would really stop a lot of people mentioning all this if ZFT put out  a statement regarding the video to dvd situation, unreleased footage, and other questions zappaphiles feel is an urgent issue.<br><br>Maybe we get to see it all when we all go to the Big Frank Zappa Gig In The Sky?<br><br>See you all there
