Last Zappa Band concert in the USA In 1993, rock legend Frank Zappa died. Five years earlier, from February to June 1988, Zappa's band made its last tour of North America and Europe. Zappa expanded his tenth band to a twelve-piece ensemble. In addition to the singer and musician himself, the big band included drummer Chad Wackerman, bassist Scott Thunes, guitarist Ike Willis, vocalist Bobby Martin, keyboardist and vocalist Mike Keneally, percussionist Ed Mann, trumpeter Walt Fowler, trombonist Bruce Fowler, and saxophonists Paul Carman, Albert Wing, and Kurt McGettrick. The band had a repertoire of over 100 songs (mostly Zappa's). Zappa and his band played their last concert in the USA on 25 March 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. At the time, no one knew it would be their last concert in the US. After a few more concerts in Europe, the band suddenly broke up before the official end of the tour. A recording of this special performance, "Zappa '88: The Last U.S. Show," will be available on CD and vinyl in 2021. A total of 29 previously unreleased live performances from Uniondale, NY, Providence, Rhode Island and Towson, Maryland await, as well as two additional recordings from the tour: Zappa's rendition of the Led Zeppelin classic "Stairway To Heaven" and the Allman Brothers Band's "Whipping Post." Another highlight is the first official release of "The Beatles Medley." The full track listing for "Zappa '88: The Last U.S. Show" can be found below. The tracks were remixed from 48-track digital master tapes for the album. "Zappa '88: The Last U.S. Show" is available either as a double CD in a six-panel softpack or as a vinyl set of four 180-gram black LPs. Both include liner notes by drummer Chad Wackerman and "Vaultmeister" Joe Travers.
