Shows were planned in Frankfurt, Berlin and finally in Vienna. In Vienna, the demand for tickets was so great that a third concert was held instead of two. I personally attended all three shows. Zappa himself designed every note of the evenings, but only wanted to watch the concerts from the auditorium. However, after the first concert in Frankfurt, FZ suffered a health breakdown due to his cancer and returned to LA for medical treatment. The remaining concerts therefore took place without him. During the very last concert in Vienna, Zappa was contacted live by telephone and he spoke a few words to the audience in Vienna (Youtube, Zappa 1992-09-28; minute 41:29). These were Frank Zappa's very last words heard by his audience during a show. The concert poster: There was only one poster for the entire tour, which included the dates of all the shows. The third show in Vienna was not printed. All posters had the European standard poster format 23 x 33 inches, which is 59 x 84 cm. \u003cstrong\u003eHowever, this particular poster is twice as large in Subway format 33 x 46 inches (84 x 119 cm). It was printed on a very thick paper, which leads to the conclusion that it was used for a new light board which was placed in front of the Vienna Konzerthaus. It is therefore very likely a unique piece.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53935667740996,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/FRANK_ZAPPA_1992_The_Yellow_Shark_Concert_Subway_Poster_Vienna_Frankfurt_Berlin_33_x_46_inch.jpg?v=1745326864"},{"product_id":"rolling-stones-frank-zappa-original-blacklight-gig-poster-by-l-w-1969-1974-lyceum-london","title":"ROLLING STONES FRANK ZAPPA Original Blacklight GIG-Poster by L.W. 1969\/1974 Lyceum London","description":"\u003cp\u003eVery rare ROLLING STONES \u0026amp; FANK ZAPPA, BLACKLIGHT GIG-POSTER, 1974, London, Lyceum Theatre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMentzelposters is writing: \"According to Steve Carter, a copy of this poster hung in Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers London restaurant for a number of years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: ca 15.5 x 23.5 inch \/ 39,8 x 59,8 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Near mint condition.....pls see pics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESIGN: L.W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDATE: 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026664476996,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/ROLLING_STONES_FRANK_ZAPPA_Original_Blacklight_GIG-Poster_by_L.W._1969_1974_Lyceum_London.jpg?v=1746534573"},{"product_id":"frank-zappa-original-promotion-poster-1967-toilet-by-david-robertson-oa304-2nd-osiris-version","title":"FRANK ZAPPA Original Promotion Poster 1967 \"Toilet\" by David Robertson OA304  2nd Osiris Version","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS poster is a Second Osiris version:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: ca. 17.2 x 23,5 inch \/ 43,6 x 59,7 cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Good to very good condition...traces of storage\/handling...pinholes, one tear to the upper border......pls see pics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMMENT: I will ship in a strong poster tube - fully insured!

Shows were planned in Frankfurt, Berlin and finally in Vienna. In Vienna, the demand for tickets was so great that a third concert was held instead of two. I personally attended all three shows. Zappa himself designed every note of the evenings, but only wanted to watch the concerts from the auditorium. However, after the first concert in Frankfurt, FZ suffered a health breakdown due to his cancer and returned to LA for medical treatment. The remaining concerts therefore took place without him. During the very last concert in Vienna, Zappa was contacted live by telephone and he spoke a few words to the audience in Vienna (Youtube, Zappa 1992-09-28; minute 41:29). These were Frank Zappa's very last words heard by his audience during a show. The concert poster: There was only one poster for the entire tour, which included the dates of all the shows. The third show in Vienna was not printed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54644946141508,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/FRANK_ZAPPA_Original_Concert_Poster_1992_The_Yellow_Shark_Vienna_Frankfurt_Berlin.jpg?v=1752663785"},{"product_id":"frank-zappa-original-concert-poster-january-26-1977-munich-germany","title":"FRANK ZAPPA Original Concert Poster January 26, 1977 Munich Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: 23 x 33 inch \/ 59 x 84 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Good condition, some traces of handling\/storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54644959510852,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/FRANK_ZAPPA_Original_Concert_Poster_January_26_1977_Munich_Germany.jpg?v=1752657474"},{"product_id":"l-r-concerts-1978-original-concert-poster-by-kieser-zappa-turner-kansas","title":"L\u0026R CONCERTS 1978 Original Concert Poster by Kieser, ZAPPA TURNER KANSAS","description":"\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: 23 x 33 inch (59 x 84 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good condition...minor traces of storage\/handling...machine folds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54976987824452,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/L_R_CONCERTS_1978_Original_Concert_Poster_by_Kieser_ZAPPA_TURNER_KANSAS_1.jpg?v=1749113805"},{"product_id":"l-r-concerts-1979-original-concert-poster-by-kieser-roxy-music-zappa-scopions","title":"L\u0026R CONCERTS 1979 Original Concert Poster by Kieser, ROXY MUSIC ZAPPA SCOPIONS","description":"\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: 23 x 33 inch (59 x 84 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good condition...minor traces of storage\/handling...machine folds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54977054015812,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/L_R_CONCERTS_1979_Original_Concert_Poster_by_Kieser_ROXY_MUSIC_ZAPPA_SCOPIONS_1.jpg?v=1749114070"},{"product_id":"frank-zappa-original-concert-poster-march-25-1979-dortmund-germany-rolled","title":"FRANK ZAPPA Original Concert Poster March 25, 1979 Dortmund Germany ROLLED","description":"\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: 23 x 33 inch (59 x 84 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Good condition...small paper loss to the lower right corner ...otherwise minor traces of storage\/handling...ROLLED ...NO machine folds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54978046656836,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/FRANK_ZAPPA_Original_Concert_Poster_March_25_1979_Dortmund_Germany_1.jpg?v=1749125445"},{"product_id":"frank-zappa-memorial-night-original-concert-poster-band-from-utopia-july-7-1994-koln-germany","title":"FRANK ZAPPA Memorial Night Original Concert Poster BAND FROM UTOPIA July 7, 1994 Köln Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: 23 x 33 inch (59 x 84 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good condition...minor traces of storage\/handling...machine folds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE POSTER GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54978049081668,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7832\/2756\/files\/FRANK_ZAPPA_Memorial_Night_Original_Concert_Poster_BAND_FROM_UTOPIA_July_7_1994.jpg?v=1755012235"},{"product_id":"frank-zappa-original-concert-poster-november-29-1984-milano-italy-rolled","title":"FRANK ZAPPA Original Concert Poster November 29, 1984 Milano Italy ROLLED","description":"\u003cp\u003eFRANK ZAPPA Original Concert Poster November 29, 1984 Milano Italy ROLLED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIMENSION: 26.7 x 38.9 inch (68 x 99 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good condition...minor traces of storage\/handling;

His favorite picture from the dozen photos he shot was the one taken from the side, so that one was chosen. He transferred the picture onto copper\u003cbr\u003eprinting plates, and printed up a thousand posters from it. In an effort to sell the poster, he left small quantities of these posters at poster shops in Carnaby Street, for sale or return.
