Officially released for the first time, this live recording features Frank Zappa's final show on U.S. soil at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on March 25, 1988. The concert saw Zappa and his 11-piece band play a career-spanning set including a number of fan favorites, before heading to Europe and imploding. The album includes the infamous "The Beatles Medley," for which Zappa rewrote the lyrics to three Beatles songs to address the exposure of evangelist Jimmy Swaggart at the time.
