Valentine’s day is rapidly approaching, gentlemen. So I was thinking: what can I possibly get my girl that will amaze everyone? Hold on people, I think I’ve come up with the answer — check out the Frank Zappa at Knebworth Commemorative Set! According to the email that was sent to me, it consists of:
- An original 1978 Frank Zappa Knebworth pass, with a letter of authenticity,
- 12 photos of the 1978 Knebworth festival,
- a 330 page book written by Freddy Bannister on the behind the scenes hassles of promoting the Knebworth festival and also working as Frank Zappa’s European representative in the seventies, including his ill-fated 1971 tour,
- four CDs: Frank Zappa ’78, Captain Beefheart ’75, The Tubes ’78 and (this is the killer!) Peter Gabriel ’78,
- a 50 mins DVD of various Knebworth festivals between 1974 – 1979, including The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Genesis.
How’s about that! Mum’s the word though… no need for Dr Sharleena to know about this until the 14th…
Peter Gabriel? Peter Gabriel! Do I hear the drums, Fernando?
I’ll tell you: PG, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Genesis are gonna be for PRIVATE usufruct only.
Be my Valentino!
Hot damn! She’s fast, she is.
actually uh….can you get that for me instead?
happy valentines day!!!!
Hey, nice gift; I was at the Genesnooze Knebworth which awkwardly went between the good old stuff and reasonable middle period, but introduced ‘And then they were crap’. The entire day was pretty weak.
The later Zappa Knebworth was much more fun; FZ did a fine set (as documented on Rubber Slices”, the Tubes provided some fun and spectacle for the evening, Peter Gabriel was quite good (he sang ‘me and My teddy bear’), and the Boomtown rats were also good festival material.
